Time magazine names Bernanke 'Person of the Year'

RASKAR AS AR · 12-16-2009, 01:33 PM

"The recession was the story of the year," Time managing editor Richard Stengel said in a statement. "Without Ben Bernanke, Time's 2009 Person of the Year, it would have been a lot worse"
His creative leadership helped ensure that 2009 was a period of weak recovery rather than catastrophic depression, and he still wields unrivaled power over our money, our jobs, our savings and our national future," Grunwald said.

I was having a good day up until the time I saw this. The world just keeps getting more surreal.

Hey, it's not every administration that has a dream team -- first Obama gets the peace prize now Bernacke gets man of the year. Perhaps we could think of some other great prizes to give to the rest of the gang. How about something for Nancy Pelosi, Timothy Geithner, and Henry Paulson? Certainly, they've contributed also and deserve some type of acknowledgment.

You nailed it! How much more will we be expected to swallow? I almost feel as though we are being DARED at this point.

Is Ronald McDonald going to be our next health food czar?

Does any body else out there feel dirty? This just dosen't pass the smell test. Maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camels' back.....hey, I just noticed that I was speaking in cliches. LOL!

Hopefully this will be another nudge to wake people up.
