   Unbelievable, this guy oversees the biggest heist in history, which is a supposed response to the crisis that he & his cronies caused and they call him man of the year. This guy is one of the biggest crooks of all time. How is it that people get away with this in the US?Good commentary

   Agreed. It's not the president or this man. The real people in power simply NEVER show their face.

   This does nothing more than show how obsolete Time magazine is.

   Excellent commentary Mr Harrold (couldn't agree more). Strange times indeed. Trust no one. Research EVERYthing when it's $ A real good song recorded 21 yrs ago. Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime album. Song: I remember now+Anarchy X+Revolution calling.
   Well I'm tired of all this bullshit they keep selling me on TV about the communist plan. And all the shady preachers [wall st] begging for my cash. Swiss bank accounts while giving the secretaries the slam. DC is just a powermad town. -peace.

   Yes, most influential man of the year--for being the face of world wide financial collapse. But let's get serious, he's a puppet. Just more smoke and mirrors.

    This is ridiculous, Ben Bernanke should be in prison but hes hailed on Time magazine... just shows you all mainstream media outlets are nothing but propaganda/brainwash.

    Person of the year, doesn't mean the best, it means the most influential. By that count, Osama Bin Laden would have been a Person of the Year.

    Says something about the state of our country when BB is named "person of the year".

    It is suppose to represent the person who had the most influence on the news. In fact the global financial meltdown IS the biggest news story and sitting at the very top of that is Ben Bernanke.

    Regardless of what they say about him, love him or hate him, he is truly the person of the year.

    He is also widely considered the most powerful person on Earth, another title which does not require a shred of human decency.

    Just consider him another Stalin, or another Hitler, a non-positive choice.

    Well said, Don. What a dumbass magazine. The mainstream media is so full of crap. It's a wonder that ANYONE would waste their time or money on it.

    Time magazine is owned by Global Elite, JP Morgan and Standard Oil, so - no wonder. What else did you expect?

    maybe he deserves it, with the 1+% dollar rally and Gold droppin 40+ today
    as Volker said in late 70´s, we should never have ´let´gold prices go so high´, Bernake does deserve credit, depending on the agenda

    Other notable shits that stained the cover of TIME MAGAZINE...

    1938 - Adolf Hitler
    1939 - Joseph Stalin (WTF? - For siding w/Hitler?)
    1942 - Stalin (again!)
    1964 - Lyndon B. Johnson (WTF? - For taking JFK's job?)
    1967 - LBJ (Most corrupt Prez of the Year)
    1991 - Ted Turner (For colorizing Cinema Classics to death!)
    2005 - Bill & Melinda Gates, & Bono (2 eugenicists & Corp. Media Mouthpiece, yawn.)
    2006 - You (For being a good slave to society)

    There's always TIME for toilet paper.

    If you're like me you enjoy lifting weights and doing cardio on a regular basis to maintain a healthy body. A few of the reasons that have kept me interested in exercising throughout most of my life are maintaining a healthy weight, looking good, and keeping my immune system strong. I noticed in my early 20's I used to get very bored with working out after about 8 weeks and I could never figure out why. I just reached a certain point and then I just got fed up with going to the gym. I would take about 2 weeks off and then go back, usually weaker than I was before.

    A lot of times when my ears ring I just press down that little flap that's outside your ear hole and it makes it stop. Or if you hold your nose and blow that has worked for me too. I hate tinnitus I wish I could find a product that actually works to cure it.
