Time Magazine Person of the Year for 2008 is Barack Obama. I know. Its a shock. Read about it below and see photos and a video.
Barack Obama
Time Magazine has chosen their Person of the Year for 2008 and its Barack Obama, pictured here in his youth as a first year student at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Of course, this comes as a surprise to absolutely no one.
Others who were considered for this were Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and Chinese director Zhang Yimou. Past winners of the Time Magazine Person of the Year have been Russian Prime Minister and former President Vladimir Putin, Adolf Hitler and Ayatollah Khomeini who were chosen for their impact on the world regardless the manner in which they made an impact.
Interestingly, Caroline Kennedy has requested to be named Person of the Year for 2009. After a lifetime of staying out of the spotlight, it seems she can’t get enough of it now. First she is the person who chose Obama’s vice president, Joe Biden. That in and of itself should have been all the reason anyone would have needed to have returned to her world outside of the spotlight. Then she decided she wanted to be the Senator from New York as a replacement for Hillary Clinton. Now she’s decided she wants to be Time Magazine’s Person of the Year next year.
I’m betting that Caroline Kennedy will get what she wants on all accounts. I don’t know her personally, but one definitely gets the impression she’s a person who is accustomed to getting what she wants and never hearing anything negative about herself.

EASY WAY TO MAKE SURE OBAMA NEVER GETS INAUGURATED (READ CAREFULLY):–
Since the Supreme Court has now prevented itself from acknowledging the question of whether Barack H. Obama is or is not an Article II “natural born citizen” based on the Kenyan/British citizenship of Barack Obama’s father at the time of his birth (irrespective of whether Barack Obama is deemed a “citizen” born in Hawaii or otherwise) as a prerequisite to qualifying to serve as President of the United States under the Constitution — the Court having done so three times and counting, first before the Nov 4 general election and twice before the Dec 15 vote of the College of Electors — it would seem appropriate, if not necessary, for all Executive Branch departments and agencies to secure advance formal advice from the United States Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel as to how to respond to expected inquiries from federal employees who are pledged to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States” as to whether they are governed by laws, regulations, orders and directives issued under Mr. Obama during such periods that said employees, by the weight of existing legal authority and prior to a decision by the Supreme Court, believe in good faith that Mr. Obama is not an Article II “natural born citizen”.

“I don’t know her personally, but one definitely gets the impression she’s a person who is accustomed to getting what she wants and never hearing anything negative about herself.”
Interesting. I don’t know you personally, but I definitely get the impression that you’re just carrying around a bias against anybody with the name Kennedy. Either that, or women with intelligence.

btw, you do know that they Huffington Post article you linked to was a parody, right? Probably not.
“Andy Borowitz is a comedian and writer whose work appears in The New Yorker and The New York Times, and at his award-winning humor site, BorowitzReport.com.”

Does the President of the United States or President Elect have to show his birth certificate? Seems like the simple answer is yes.
