"President Barack Obama is TIME magazine's iconic Person of the Year, managing editor Rick Stengel revealed Wednesday as he unveiled the 2012 cover on TODAY.
“He's basically the beneficiary and the author of a kind of a New America, a new demographic, a new cultural America that he is now the symbol of,” Stengel said."

Hitler won it in 1938
Stalin in 1939 and 1942
Jimmy Carter in 1976
Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979
Ben Berneke in 2009
Mark Zuckerburg in 2010

Sounds like they are not very particular about how they pick.
