In what is perhaps one of the most overhyped stories of the
year, Time Magazine named their 2012 Person of the Year on Wednesday. With all
of the compelling stories that happen on a yearly basis, there are always going
to be plenty of candidates to choose from, but this year’s winner ended up
being President Barack Obama. It marks the second time that he has captured the
honor (the magazine seems to have a thing about calling it an “award”), having
also done so in 2008 when he became the first African-American elected
President.
