    Time's Man of the Year.

    Not sure if this is a comparison or not.

    Time also chose Putin last year, if you want to include that. Time chooses the single most influential person/group of people. They aren't playing emotional favorites. This year, they decided it was Obama. At some time, they decided it was Hitler. Nobody can argue that Hitler was incredibly influential, no?

    No argument from me, but thats all hindsight for us. I dont think, in 1939, Time Magazine knew the true horrors Hitler had planned.

    Stalin made the list twice, 1939 and 1942.

    Churchill also made the list twice, 1940 and 1949.

    Harry Truman makes the list 2 times as well, 1945 and 48.

    Jimmay Carter made the list in 1977, and he lead us too...

    Ronald Reagan making the list twice, 1980 and shares it with Yuri Andropov in 83.

    Im getting lazy here but WTS is with the Shrubs getting not 1, not 2, but 3 nods for Times Man of the Year? 1990, 2000, and 2004. Seriously, the Shrubco Clan gets 3 nods?

    The 1 Kennedy to get the nod, I will salute proudly, he deserved it. ETA: When I visited JFK's memorial with a friend of mine in 1999 just before the New Year, we held the POA in respect for the man and the office he held.

    That was a powerfull moment for me, same as standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where MLK JR gave his speech.

    If anyone can visit either sight and feel nothing, I would feel pity for them.

    I disagree. Hitler annexed Austria in 1938. That's pretty influential to me!
