Time Person Of The Year 2012: Barack Obama
President Barack Obama has been named Time’s Person of the Year. Time named the eight finalists for 2012’s Person of the Year on Tuesday which included:
* Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for her crusade for better girls’ education
* Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi
* Bill and Hillary Clinton
* Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer
* Apple CEO Tim Cook
* The three scientists who discovered the Higgs Boson particle
He will take the oath on Jan. 20 as the first Democrat in more than 75 years to get a majority of the popular vote twice. Only five other Presidents have done that in all of U.S. history.
There are many reasons for this, but the biggest by far are the nation’s changing demographics and Obama’s unique ability to capitalize on them. When his name is on the ballot, the next America — a younger, more diverse America — turns out at the polls.
That sound you hear is fake outrage from the teabaggers from coast-to-coast.
