2012 Person of the Year: Barack Obama, the President Considering Time’s readership and management, this is no surprise. We still can’t see Obama’s birth certificate or college records, but he’s the person of the year. Frankly, we know more about Kim Jung Un than Obama. Perhaps Time should have left the rigged vote stand.

With this announcement, tomorrow (12/21/12) can't come soon enough for me.
I have awarded myself Goat of the Year. You may genuflect.
Wow.. Really lame. I can't think of anything significant he did other then campaign in 2012.. That brave Muslim chick should've won. The fate of Islam's womenfolk is one of the most important battles on the planet now.
Couldn't agree with you more! The Pakistani teen deserved it more than anyone else - what a brave young girl!
Man I am disappointed, I thought his birth control Czar Sandra was going to get it, Looks like Time Fluked her too.....
After Benghazi and the Fast and Furious Scandal, the only pictures we should be seeing of "Dear Leader" should be in the Post Office.
TIME is not on our side
It must have been awarded because he ran up a trillion dollar deficit for each year of his presidency. Lord help us all for the next four years.
"Person of the Year"? Is that ALL? Surely He deserves "Person of the Decade"! Or Century. Maybe even of ALL TIME!
And how bigoted and species-ist to think He might be just the "Person" of the Century? Why not "Living Creature Of All Time EVER!!1!"?
And they can send him the letter on patchouli-scented lavender note paper.
/And dot all the "i"s with little hearts.

This latest "award" is as meaningless as the Nobel Peace Prize he won.
Who?
The vacationer in chief
I was listening to Rush this am about a story that Jake Tapper asked Obamao about all the things he was going to do, and where's he been the last 4 yrs. Obamao's answer was something along the line of "big deficits, auto industry, 2 wars, blah, blah, blah, I haven't been on vacation, Jake." The arrogance of this p***k. I don't believe he knows what a true statement even means. He and the wife have been either campaigning or on vacation since they got to D.C.
Thank God he's lazy or he might have done even more damage.
You called him lazy, even tho he called himself lazy, doesn't matter because you are still Raaaaaaacist!
