US President George W Bush's bold, uncompromising leadership and clear-cut election victory made him Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2004, its managing editor said today.

Time chose Bush "for sticking to his guns (literally and figuratively), for reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style and for persuading a majority of voters this time around that he deserved to be in the White House for another four years," Jim Kelly wrote in the magazine.

Bush was also Time's choice to appear on the cover in 2000 after winning the presidential election despite losing the popular vote.



[quote]His father, President George HW Bush, was named Man of the Year in 1990 for what Time called his mastery of foreign policy and his wavering domestic record.[/quote]

"This is a world that is much more uncertain than the past. In the past we were certain, we were certain it was us versus the Russians in the past. We were certain, and therefore we had huge nuclear arsenals aimed at each other to keep the peace. That's what we were certain of. ... You see, even though it's an uncertain world, we're certain of some things. We're certain that even though the 'evil empire' may have passed, evil still remains. We're certain there are people that can't stand what America stands for. ... We're certain there are madmen in this world, and there's terror, and there's missiles and I'm certain of this, too: I'm certain to maintain the peace, we better have a military of high morale, and I'm certain that under this administration, morale in the military is dangerously low."

And what did Old Europe and the UN ever do about the dangerous stockpiling of headwear in Iraq? It was clear the USA had to act to get them to cease their millinery build-up!

Not many reflexive verbs left in English - odd that that should be one of them.

This is the most breathtakingly (real word or not Deb?) ignorant statement I have ever read. What the frickin' hell IS he talking about?
