Time “Person of the Year”: The finalists

Time magazine is set to announce its “Person of the Year” on Wednesday. So far, here are the finallists: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Barack Obama, General Stanley McChrystal, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, and the Chinese worker. Not much to choose from, is there?

If we were choosing based solely on cool names, I’d go with Usain Bolt. After all, what’s cooler that a sprinter named Bolt? If I had to guess, I’d say Barack Obama will be the winner. I’m not saying he deserves it, but he is the darling of the media. Plus, he didn’t deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but look how well that turned out for him!
