Time Magazine names Person of the year 2012

Interesting how sensitive the right is about being ridiculed when they left reason so far behind they've become a danger and threat to the nation. "I demand to live in my altered reality bubble, shit on my country, and take no flack for it."

You make it sound like they are well on their way to being progressives.

I may have opted for Matt Ryan, but I can live with Obama. 2nd term Dem POTUS is rare since JFK and kind of a big deal.

Not to mention winning with the popular vote in the 2nd term which Clinton didn't do.

Although if Senator Dole got the entirety of Ross Perot's percentage of the votes it would've still been close.

Clinton 49.2%

Dole 40.7%

Perot 8.4%

Despite a healthy increase in the number of voters, an extremely significant number of people simply refused to vote for these fraud candidates. I estimate about 16 million less voters, based on typical population growth trends. More than 10% of the electorate gave up on presidential politics, in one cycle! Now we jsut need the other 90% to do the same. 4 more years of Obooma might get us there. For that, maybe he does deserve Time's pathetic award.

Safe, rather staid choice picking the US President. The only other real contender I think of off hand for this year is the Eygptian President.

Yes, because when 49% of the country wants you out of office, you are "Person of the Year" LULZ.

I have no real comment - other than just like his Nobel <War> Prize, the instant they choose obama it is yet another "OH shit, we better say Obama so we can be called diverse!!". The 2 "awards" are now jokes and serve 0 meaning. 0 accomplishment. 0 purpose.

Screw skills
Fuck qualifications
And god damn experience
Do it for the race card.

Yep. People worry that if you don't vote for the lesser of 2 evils the greater of 2 evils will win.

Well I say that by voting all you are doing is ensuring that one of the 2 evils win. If everyone followed my lead and didn't vote than neither would win.

If we followed your lead this wouldn't be a Democracy anymore.....derp
