Comment: I'm not scared to say what others are only thinking... I think that the only reason that he was chosen is because he was elected the first black president. You think that this nations has problems now? You just wait. I hope you all choke on this "change" that you are so desperately seeking. Oh, I wasn't supposed to say that because it's politically incorrect. Well, I think that Obama is politically incorrect. How's that for $.03... from Pensacola, Fl by Ariel

Comment: All Obama has done is talk a good game. He has not done anything to be "Person of the year". I don't think McCain would have been chosen if he had won. "Person of the Year" should have been a person who had actually accomplished something not just talk about it. Talk is cheap !!!!!!!!!!. from Pensacola, Fl. by J.

Comment: I feel he has broke the odds by winning and that is a wonderful feat. Yet I do not feel he has done anything yet to become person of the year, no acts have occured yet other then winning the election. from Navarre, FL by Laurie

Comment: How can they select someone who has accomplished nothing more than buy a lot of peoples votes and get elected as the next president. from Pensacola, Fl by Raymond

Comment: I find little of Time's editorial content that I can agree with. Time started as an objective news magazine a long time ago, but has gradually moved to the left, further and further, such that I almost find it to be anti-American in its views. Regardless, Obama is the obvious and clear choice for person of the year. He worked very hard to achieve his election victory and deserves the 'honor'. from Pensacola / FL by Rick

Comment: He's not person of the year material-in my book. from PCOLA FL by MARY

Comment: lololol! based on the response so far from the conservative, white, christians...it sure seems like have the FIRST black (i.e. "minority") President is like rubbing salt in their wound! lol! i can see why these...racially/religiously biased people would be upset. but then again, some people (most folks around here) HAVE to be pushed into the 21st century! (somehow people around here still think that this place should operate like it was in the 19th/20th century or at least the 30's-50's...sad! i guess they will not have a "colored" folks doing minial chores for them any more...sad to hear that sort of state of mind still exists...didn't someone here say racism is dead? i guess they, like they always are, WRONG!) from p'cola fl by h

Comment: Consider him for 2009, after a year in office to see if he does anything worth consideration. He is not even the president yet - and although he won the election, it proves nothing about his performance as president. from Gulf Breeze FL by Don

Comment: It is way too premature to name Obama anything other than what he is, President Elect. He has achieved no other dis- tinction. A year from now he may qualify for the award. If the US. lasts that long. from Pensacola, Florida by Robin

Comment: We the People voted him into office,so not becuz he won his position in History.he did not. i believe the anonymous donor of 50 million $ to translate the Bible into more languages as needed,and this action should take the glory of person of year. from milton florida by rhonda

Comment: I think Obama has not done anything at this point if you want a person of the year how about picking one of the firemen that just worked on the fires in California they put their life on the line. from PENSACOLA by SHERI

Comment: How can someone who was NOT born in the UNITED STATES qualify for President, much less be nominated for "Person of the YEAR"? from Pensacola, Fl by Dan

Comment: TOO many questions about him being a patriotic American to be President or Person of the Year in a country where he won't honor the flag in a unique manner as one who would defend it unto death. from Pensacola/Fl by C

Comment: Person of the year. "Jesus Christ", for putting up with ACLU trying everything they can to remove his name in prayer and putting up with men, marrying men and women marrying women. This world is going down hill. Every Country thats gotton away from Jesus and denied his name has failed. Look at whats happening and its going to get worse. from Pensacola by Regina

Comment: What did he do to benefit anyone else? The person of the year should be someone who did stuff outside of their normal job, to improve the lives of others. from Navarre by Rob

Comment: Obama is the person of the decade. He has overcome numerous boundaries and will finally bring the US back to the status it held prior to the reign of W. from Pcola by J
