Caucasian is the correct spelling, blue!

Time seems to need to explain each year that their pick for "person of the year" is just the most newsworthy - good or bad, either way. And certainly Barack Obama made a lot of the news this year, we couldn't turn to a single news channel or publication without the whole election getting covered ad nauseam. As he is quite literally the "last one standing" - he gets the prize, as it is.

There have been years when the "Person of the Year" wasn't even an individual person.

And of course, Time is a publication with its own opinions and agenda, just like a million others.

Wikipedia has a list of all the honorees, with notes like "first woman chosen" - back in 1936 - Wallis Simpson - included. Kind of interesting.
