Might as well, he's got the whole world snowed. Except Iran, they are doing to test the living squat out of him..

To be fair, I believe Time Magazine has previously stated that "Person of the Year" doesn't necessarily mean "Most Wonderful"... It's the person who has had the greatest impact, whether good or bad...

1938 was Adolf Hitler...
1939 and 1942 was Josef Stalin...
1979 was Ayatolla Khomeini...

So, Obama and Bernanke are right in there with a bunch of other idiots...

Interestingly, every once in a while, Time makes a good choice. The last few years are not among them.

Sounds like Bernanke is in good company.
