Past Time's Person of the Year-- Part 1

From the Dec. 20, 2012, Time taps Obama again" by Reuters and Tribune Staff.

4TH--  This is the fourth straight US presidential election year that Time has chosen the newly-elected president as Person of the Year.  I guess it would have been Der Mitt had he won.  2000 and 2004 George W. Bush.  2008 and 2012 Barack Obama.  They showed the front covers.  Those guys sure aged in four years.  Wonder why?

PRESIDENTS--  Overall, Obama is the 12th president to get the recognition and ninth to win it more than once (Eisenhower's first of two came in 1944 when he was Supreme Allied Commander in Europe)

FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT-- Was the first president to win the honor and the only one to do it three times.

GERALD FORD--  Is the only president since Roosevelt not to win the honor.
