On Dec. 19, Time magazine named President Barack Obama as their Person of the Year.
“For finding and forging a new majority, for turning weakness into opportunity and for seeking, amid great adversity, to create a more perfect union, Barack Obama is TIME's 2012 Person of the Year,” Time managing editor Richard Stengel explained in his note to readers.
The magazine invited votes on 40 candidates, including Obama, Gabby Douglas and Kim Jong Un. Other options included The Mars Rover and the Higgs Boson Particle.
But who cares about the same-old, same-old? Who is Half Moon Bay’s Person of the Year—the man or woman who, in Timespeak, “most influenced the news this year for better or worse?”

NOT Mike Alifano, because of the damage he has done and continues to do to our fire and emergency services and staff. There is a well supported recall election coming up because of his actions and the excessive costs he imposes on taxpayers in the District. Recalles do not deserve accolades!
