Time Magazine’s person of the year for 2009 – Ben Bernanke ?

WASHINGTON - JANUARY 17: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke wipes his eyes during a hearing before the House Budget Committee January 17, 2008 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Bernanke was on the Hill to give his views on the outlook of U.S. economy and he said the economy has been growing slow. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)Huh? Time Magazine has selected the crook, a person who is one of the main reasons why we are in the “crisis” we are in now Ben Bernanke as “2009 Person of the year”. Surely, most people including me thought this “award” would go to Obama as Person of the Year for 2009. But Ben Bernanke?

    After the Nobel idiocy, Time was probably afraid of becoming a complete laughingstock, so they threw Obama out of the running. Because without that fear, you KNOW he would have been a shoe-in.
