So, there's a 90% chance you haven't heard of this man. To be honest, when I read the news about Time Magazine's pick for 2009 Person of the Year, I thought it was just Time sucking the Obama Administration's dick. But then I started reading, and it turns out that this guy's quick decision-making and brilliancy has effected essentially every American since the recession began full force in September 2008. His name is Ben Bernanke, and he's the Federal Reserve Chairman of the United States. From what I know, the Federal Reserve is possibly the least known yet most powerful force shaping American lives. Time Magazine issued a brief statement, explaining their choice:"Remember September 2008? The month when the entire U.S. financial system almost collapsed? Ever since that pivotal moment, [Bernanke] has been in the crosshairs, making decision after decision that has impacted nearly every American alive today."
Bernanke was, and still is the leading force stopping another Great Depression from happening. If that doesn't deserve recognition, I really don't know what does.
look at this pimp...just look at him^^^^
Haha Jas, Time did this because they knew this guy would be first in line to bail them out...and he did. google it. It's actually kind of ill-timed, it was just mere coincidence (which i highly doubt)
