Vladimir Putin: 2007 Time Person of the Year
Last Year it was “You,” this year it’s Vladimir Putin. Last year “You” won ’Person of the Year’ for changing the face of media through the internets. This year, Putin won it for making Russia relevant again.
Putin has come under heavy criticism from um, most people, for anti-democratic tactics in order to preserve stability in his vodka loving nation. A lot of Americans (myself included) felt that Russia had fallen off the map as far as large scale global influence-Putin has turned this around and thus Time gave him the honor, even though it’s not necessarily an honor.
Putin joins the likes of Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin (who won it twice) and of course President Num Nuts among other shady characters to be named ‘Person of the Year’.
Putin, who looks like he can crush your bones with his mind, is an intimidating looking dude. He almost makes Dick Cheney seem like a suave Sean Connery. But have no fear, our trusted ’Decider’ said he looked into Putin’s eyes and saw a good man. To quote Rudolph Giuliani, “Thank god George Bush is our president!”

I think the true Man of the year is General Petraus who has done a great service to our nation. Iraq is becoming more stable now and our brave troops and he deserve the admiration of all Americans, as well as our President.
Betty. please check out http://hometownbaghdad.com then come back and tell me that all is well in Iraq
Betty-Jesus Christ your a fool! I had more foreign relations experience than George Bush when he became president! I’m 29 years old and have been to 29 countries. That dumb fuck had never been anywhere and it showed then and shows now.
Have you been to Vietnam and visited museums with shot down American planes and tanks? I have and let me tell you it’s disturbing. But those people fought hard for their independence and view these things as their prizes.
If Bush really cared about our security he would have secured our borders. Why hasn’t he?? Because he wants them open so his business buddies can have cheap labor. Please read some history books and then come talk to me.
You’re talking to someone with a history degree.
