Barack Obama is Time's Person of the Year
HLN ^ | December 19, 2012

Posted on 12/19/2012 7:22:04 AM PST by HonkyTonkMan

President Barack Obama has been named "Time Magazine" Person of the Year.

"Time" says the U.S. is in the middle of big changes and President Obama is the symbol of what they call "a new America."

"The Protester" was Person of the Year in 2011.

President Obama was also on the cover of this anticipated issue of "Time" back in 2008, the year he was first elected to the White House.

Perhaps Obama will be the nail in the coffin of the belief that “newer is better”.

I wish I had remembered to bring the barf bag from the airplane I was on the other day.

At least it isn’t Sandra Fluke.

Time Magazine's Man of the Year is about as relevant as MTV’s Artist of the Year.

Hitler was too...

...you don't have to be virtuous only important.

Lucifer was very important as well when God cast Him down...according to Dante he embraced Obama’s motto:

“I would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.”

I remember Time Magazine. Is it still being published? The last issue I saw was at my dentist’s office and it was a couple of years old at the time.

Just like the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for no reason.

Has anyone proven he’s even a PERSON? How can he be Person of the Year without documentation?

/no sarc, series! I’m stunned!

Whenever the Communists take over a country, they start calling it “The New” this or that - the New Russia, the New China, etc. now we’re The New America. Oh goody.
