In the least shocking news ever, Time has named Obama the 2008 “Person of the Year.”
 

“He hit the American scene like a thunderclap, upended our politics, shattered decades of conventional wisdom and overcame centuries of the social pecking orders,” the Time cover story says.
 

Translation? People ****ing love this guy.
 

The magazines managing editor, Rick Stengel, made the big announcement on the Today show this morning. He also mentioned that the two other possibilities for the title were the American voter or the economy.
 

Wow, so glad they went with Obama.
 

The runners-up were Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the infamous Sarah Palin and Chinese director/orchestrator of Olympic ceremonies Zhang Yimou.
 

Wow, so glad they went with Obama.
