Barack Obama. Totally agree.

OH MY GOD....I'M TOTALLY SHOCKED!!! I think that this year the person/man/event whatever of the year is going to be something involving Barack Obama. There was no mystery surrounding these magazine's person of the year. I don't even know why they bothered with the secrecy. I did hear on the Today Show this morning that they were considering giving it to the American voter who elected Barack, or the economy which caused the shift of the election to Barack's favor. In any event, it was a no brainer that Time would pick Obama.

Not sure what their selection criteria are, but the person who has the most influence for ill due to negligence, would be George W. Bush who persists in denial of the shortcomings of his administration.
