Time magazine has just released their annual issue naming their person of the year.
And that honor this year goes to, without a doubt, President-Elect Barack Obama.
As the soon to become 44th President of the United States, and the first ever Black president, Obama has definitely earned the title.
Time met with Obama a few weeks ago to discuss his plans for the upcoming months, to talk about his amazing victory, and to discuss more details about his life and future.
Barack says:
“Well, I think we won a decisive victory. Forty-seven percent of the American people still voted for John McCain. And so I don’t think that Americans want hubris from their next President. I do think we received a strong mandate for change … It means a government that is not ideologically driven. It means a government that is competent. It means a government, most importantly, that is focused day in, day out on the needs and struggles, the hopes and dreams, of ordinary people. And I think there is a strong mandate for Washington as a whole to be responsive to ordinary Americans in a way that it has not been for quite some time.”
