Time Man of the Year is someone who had the most impact on the world in the 2007 year. Good or bad. Hell, Hitler was man of the year by time in '38. ---

I completely agree. Aside from the fact that we do not live there or have to deal with life on a day by day basis. He has turned Russia around from complete disaster. It takes a tough person to be a leader of a nation. Not just anyone has it in them to do it. In every government there are ups and downs and good and bad actions but as far as he is concerned he is doing well for his country. Do i agree with his actions, no, not always. Do I agree with our countries actions, no, not always. 6 of one, half dozen of the other. ---
