According to The Drudge Report, President Bush is all but a lock to be named Time's Man of the Year, with an announcement coming possibly by Sunday. Personally, I cannot think of anyone more deserving. Aside from winning an election with more votes than any President in modern history and being the first to Garner 50% since 1st Pres. Bush, his commitment to protecting the United States at any cost is unparrallell. Faced with everything from fictional feature films bashing him, to constant second guessing at home and abroad, the President this year has shown himself to be a strong leader, and a top-notck politician.
Do you know who got it in 1938?

Wow ... Bush at Time's Man of the Year? Ya know me a "Fellow Member" of the Skull & Bones society is the Man of the Year? Adolf "Thule Society" Member (the German Chapter of the Skull & Bones Society) was awarded the Honor in 1938 ! ... Junior falls in line with some of these other "Honorable" members of society!
Other "Man of the Year" Winners:
Time's Man of the Year for 1938 was Adolf Hitler. The magazine says the greatest news event of that year happened on September 29 when four European statesmen met in Munich. They were Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Premier Edouard Daladier of France, Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy, and Hitler. Time described Hitler as "a moody, brooding, unprepossessing, 49-year-old Austrian-born ascetic with a Charlie Chaplin mustache."
The cover story of January 2, 1939, continues:
"Fuhrer of the German people, Commander-in-chief of the German Army, Navy & Air Force, Chancellor of the Third Reich, Herr Hitler reaped on that day at Munich the harvest of an audacious, defiant, ruthless foreign policy he had pursued for five and a half years. He had torn the Treaty of Versailles to shreds. He had rearmed Germany to the teeth – or as close to the tooth as he was able. He had stolen Austria before the eyes of a horrified and apparently impotent world."
Four years later, in 1942, Time's Man of the Year was Joseph Stalin. This time – doubtless because Russia and the U.S. were allies and wartime rhetoric prevailed – Time's cover-story essay portrayed 63-year-old Stalin as brave and loyal, "a pleasant host and an expert at playing his cards in international affairs" who "drank his vodka straight, talked the same way."
"Only Stalin knows how he managed to make 1942 a better year for Russia than 1941. But he did. Sevastopol was lost, the Don basin was nearly lost, the Germans reached the Caucasus. But Stalingrad was held. The Russian people held. The Russian Army came back with four offensives that had the Germans in serious trouble at year's end."
In 1979, Time chose Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
This was the year a mob of students, with Khomeini's blessing, seized 50 Americans and held them hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. For a comparison with the situation in 2001 involving bin Laden, consider how Time set the scene in its essay, describing Khomeini's actions as "a frightening lesson in the shattering power of irrationality, of the ease with which terrorism can be adopted as government policy."

Once again the gloom and doom liberals trying to bring out the worst in every situation. By the way, your list also leaves out a few names: Eisenhower, FDR, JFK, Martin Luther King Jr., and yes, your hero, Bill Clinton. My point is, while there are some shady characters on that list, there are also some great men on there as well. History will have the final say on Dubya, but I personally beleive that he will remembered among the greats on that list such as FDR and Dr. King, not lumped in with the scummy side of that list (Hitler,Clinton).
So what? George Tenet just received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. These medals and honors (Times PERSON of the Year) mean diddly squat now. We've fallen down the rabbit hole in this country. With half the country living in a fools paradise and the other half dazed and confused it's all cracking good satire.
I think its great the awarding of Bush brings to mind the discussion of our great leader and Nazi Germany's finest!
Bush & Hitler ... hmm, lets see:
Bush simply is not the orator that Hitler was. But comparisons of the Bush Administration's fear mongering tactics to those practiced so successfully and with such terrible results by HItler and Goebbels on the German people and their Weimar Republic are not at all out of line.
some of the tactics of the Bush administration resemble those of Hitler and his Brownshirts. I would go further and add that Bush's ex-attorney general, John Ashcroft, a man who has pointedly praised the old Confederacy, would probably feel quite comfortable in brown with a hakenkreuz tacked to his sleeve.
The Bush administration deliberately stoked public fears after 9/11--just as the Nazi's used the Reichstag Fire--to win support for an illegal, unprovoked invasion of Iraq, an act of aggression which, at the Nuremberg Trials, was specifically determined to be a war crime. The ad might have added that the "shock and awe" terror campaign that was the centerpiece of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, was also by definition a war crime, since its target was the Iraqi public. President Bush did in fact publicly claim divine instruction to have been behind his decisions to invade Afghanistan and later Iraq--a rather scary example, if he is being sincere, of the very kind of megalomania that characterized Hitler. Were these two ads unfair to either Bush or to the memory of the Holocaust? Hardly. Are they saying that Bush is Hitler? Only to the most simplistic or willfully unimaginative of viewers--that is to say the RNC poobahs. What they are saying is that the same technique used by Hitler and his National Socialist brownshirts to whip up nationalist fervor in Germany in the early and mid 1930s is being employed today by the Bush Administration and the Republican Party, and to the same end--to get the American public to acquiesce in surrendering its democratic rights, to accept one-party rule, and to agree to a national policy of permanent war in the name of American global hegemony.
Just as Hitler was installed (but not elected by the German people) as the Feuhrer by the Nazi party, so George W. Bush was installed as President of the United States by a conservative Supreme Court. In both cases, governments used "national security" as an excuse to launch an assault on democratic freedoms. While "lebensraum" was a rallying cry for Hitler, Bush's "evil axis," referring to North Korea, Iran and Iraq, was supposed to generate patriotic "no-think" here in the USA.
Just as Hitler detached himself from the League of Nations, George W. has been assuming a more insular position internationally. ... Just as the burning of the Reichstag provided the Nazi party with the opportunity for shredding the Weimar Constitution, so did the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11/01 provide the Republican administration (Cheney/Ashcroft/Rumsfeld) with the rationale for abolishing the freedoms granted to all citizens in the American Constitution. ...
Adolf Hitler claimed to have launched a 'defensive' war against the Jews, Slavs and the rest of Europe to protect the German race. Similarly Bush has waged the same 'defensive' war against the Islamic world and anyone else that does not to conform to the US dictates. ... Hitler claimed the supremacy of the Aryan race, Bush calls for the supremacy of US democracy run by its Multinationals, as exemplified by Paul Bremer of Iraq with the likes of Halliburton and Bechtel.
In fact, several disturbing analogies exist between George W. Bush and history's most infamous fascist, Adolph Hitler: Both men assumed power in defiance of the will of the majority; both men used "great lies" to pursue their warmongering agendas; both men preyed upon humanity's basest instincts to disseminate those "great lies"; both men were appeased by the British government, Hitler through Neville Chamberlain and Bush through Tony Blair; both men were willing to use national tragedies to justify the destruction of civil liberties, Hitler through the burning of the Reichstag and Bush through the September 11th terrorist attacks; both men were/are suspected of either participating in, or ignoring warnings about the imminence of, these tragedies in order to enhance their political stature and power; both men [exploit(ed)] a culture of death for political self-aggrandizement, Hitler through his well-publicized genocide campaigns, and Bush who, while governor of Texas, routinely denied DNA tests to death row inmates, even though such tests could prevent wrongful executions; both men were willing to appeal to racism, Hitler through his quest for a "master race," and Bush through his condemnation of affirmative action policies, which primarily benefit racial minorities. [...] both men reveled in war and exploited the military to satiate their personal ambitions and vendettas; both men used war to enrich their political cronies; both men demonstrated contempt for international law and the concerns of the world community; and both men believed they were/are on some holy crusade inspired by a "divine province" that placed them into power.
Adolf Hitler would be proud that an American President is emulating him in so many ways. Hitler, it will be remembered, routinely ignored his military, other world leaders, and the clergy ...
War making and saber rattling is not the only similarity of Bush to Hitler. The German leader, along with Joseph Goebbels, was also a master of propaganda. ...
When was the last time a Western nation had a leader so obsessed with God and claiming God was on our side? If you answered Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany, you're correct ... Both Bush and Hitler believe that they were chosen by God to lead their nations... Like Bush-ites, Hitler was fond of invoking the Ten Commandments as the foundation of Nazi Germany... But if you ever wondered where Bush got his idea for so-called "faith-based initiatives" you need only consult Hitler's January 30, 1939 speech to the Reichstag ...

George W. was initiated into Skull & Bones secret society when he was at Yale. When an initiate enters the coffin during their initiation, he is considered to have "died to self and to this world". When the leader of this coven takes the initiate by the hand and pulls him out of the coffin, that initiate is said to have been "Born Again" to the newness of life . It is a slick and counterfeit Christian experience.
No one -- I repeat no one -- ever gets to run for high office unless the Illuminati supports him ... George W. picked Cheney to be his running mate. Cheney is very high level Illuminati, and one of the more influential members of the CFR.
[font=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Skull & Bones is the same type of Black Magic secret society as the one who trained Adolf Hitler in the deepest powers of the occult![/font]

[font=Times New Roman, Times, serif]The Brotherhood of Death Society in the United States is the Skull and Bones Society in Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. Its belief and worship structure is identical to that of the Thule Society. The list of some of the Families comprising Skull and Bones is frightening, for it immediately shows the extent to which America has been influenced by this Satanic organization. [/font]
Please be very careful about accepting George W. Bush as a genuine Born Again believer. I believe he is a very effective counterfeit.
whale,
I think you're reading too much into the entire "Man of the year" tag. It's more of a recognition of that particular person's achievements with regard to the obstacles facing them. We could argue that al-Zawahiri could be "Man of the year" if he orchestrated a detonation of an atomic device and killed 700,000 people. That or Bin Laden and anyone else that might fit the bill. There are about 50 George Bush's to every 1 Mother Teresa.
This entire argument might sound better if their selection process was altered which I haven't read anything to convince me otherwise. If you know something, please share.
