A Person of Importance

Barack Obama was named Time Person of the Year for 2008. I can't really say I was surprised. There was so much publicity about him during the election season, he made some historic breakthroughs during his campaign, and his story is very compelling.
His election was exciting and uplifting for the country. Hopefully he can survive his first days in office dealing with two wars, global warming, and the economic slide.
