Barack Obama is Time Magazine's Person of the Year

Time Magazine selected Barack Obama as person of the year.

Seriously?

This idiot is person of the year?

Obama did absolutely nothing and he is person of the year?

Even Time Magazine admits that he did nothing and they cite that nothing as the reason for picking him. They said they selected Obama, "For having the confidence to sketch an ambitious future in a gloomy hour, and for showing the competence that makes Americans hopeful he might pull it off."

Unbelievable. They admit he didn't actually do anything but he is person of the year because he has "confidence" enough to dupe millions of Americans into believing in a plan he never discussed. All Obama did in 2008 was spew meaningless campaign slogans. He never once even attempted to explain what "change" he would bring to America or why any "change" was ever needed. He certainly never did anything to "show the competence" required to be President of this country.

Barack Obama won the election only because John McCain gave it to him. McCain was such a poor excuse for a candidate that Obama could not have lost -- yet he almost did anyway. And don't forget Obama is sort of black. His race and how he played the race card were also directly related to his victory. As he framed it, you were racist if you voted for anyone else and you were paying reparations if you voted for Obama. If Obama was not black he would have lost.

Seriously. Obama is person of the year because he successfully manipulated slightly more than 50% of American voters. He literally did nothing else. What about George Bush. He ended a genocide and saved tens of millions of people from extinction. Isn't that the kind of "change" that deserves person of the year? Time Magazine should have at least waited until Obama did something before handing him person of the year on a silver platter.

My prediction: Obama will be person of the year in 2009 and 2010 -- regardless of what he does or does not do.
