Time Magazine Cover: Obama as FDR
Mon, 11/24/2008 - 6:49am | posted by Austin Wilkes
Obama will be featured on the cover of Time Magazine again (for what, the millionth time?), but this one may actually grab people’s attention and help their struggling sales. In the Nov. 24th issue they are featuring Obama as FDR. Obama should attempt to learn from FDR, but only to the extent of learning what not to do.
Obama: Time’s Man Of The Year

I think Time Magazine is a little pre-emptive in picking Obama as the person of the year. He hasn’t done anything yet. The criteria is as follows:
“The Person of the Year” is the person who most affected the news for better or worse.” They say the selection generates much debate among Time staffers but they all agree that the award is “not an honor.”
“It’s neutral,” said Richard Stengel, TIME’s Managing Editor. “It is a recognition of somebody’s affect on the world.”
I guess I’m looking for more substance than the rhetoric of “Hope and Change” which is all we currently have. I’d start by looking at Wikipedia’s 2008 for an alternative. I’m all for Obama being Time’s person of the year after he’s achieved something.
