An interesting list, but I would make a quite different list (as would, I suspect, 300 million other Americans). Noting that the person of the year "honors" at Time aren't necessarily for who did the most good during the year, but rather who had the most significant impact on the world in the past year (after all, Hitler got the "honor" in 1938, as did Stalin in 1939), I offer my list (in no particular order):
- Barack Obama
- Sarah Palin (it doesn't make me happy, but the movement of which she is the cynical head is still driving U.S. policymaking)
- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (again, it doesn't make me happy, but he's a contender)
- Nancy Pelosi
- Ben Bernanke
- Hu Jintao (this being the year we all realized he's really in charge)
- Wall Street investment bankers
