Putin Named Time Person Of The Year – Gimme A Break!
Posted on December 19th, 2007 by SOB under UncategorizedI try to keep politics and religion out of my blogs, but this I have to say it. Time magazine, as far as I can remember, even as a kid, was a real American Icon. In my mind as a kid, people who read that magazine, “were really smart people”.
Today, Time magazine announced their annual Person of the Year, and they picked Vladimir Putin for 2007.
So lets see his track record:
- So here we have a President, that does not want to give up power by throwing his political opponents in jail
- Rigging the elections so one of his pawns gets elected, who in turn elects Putin as a Prime Minister, who once again is set to become the head of the country, incase something happens to the Prime Minister
- Countless human rights violations and not allowing freedom of speech
- Supplying trade embargoed countries with backend support
The list can go on, but I am too pissed to really get into it. Time magazine, out of the 5+ Billion people in the world, you had to pick Putin?

I was equally astonished when I heard of Time’s pick. There are plenty of other great options instead of this one poor option.

I have to agree. So many better options to choose from. Why not pick someone who has done something to help the world?
