The news that Time's Person of the Year was President George W. Bush, who recently was re-elected to another (and his last) four-year term, had some juicy tidbits, if anyone cared to notice.

"Many, many Americans deeply wish he had not won," [Managing Editor Jim] Kelly said. "And yet he did."

Bush was recognized for "reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style," according to Time.

The magazine's editors recognized Bush "for sharpening the debate until the choices bled, for reframing reality to match his design, for gambling his fortunes — and ours — on his faith in the power of leadership."

Bush attributed his victory over Democratic candidate John Kerry to his foreign policy and the wars he began in Afghanistan and Iraq.

So you didn't win because of your leadership or leadership style. You didn't win because of your economic choices or the effort to defend our homeland. And you didn't win because of your grand ideas, or your work on education, the environment, and civil rights. You couldn't win on any of these issues, because you aren't a leader, you made poor choices, our nation was attacked, you have no ideas, you have neglected education and civil rights, and you are in the mist of destroying the environment.

You won, just as you said, because you started two wars. (Over 1,300 Americans have lost their lives in the War in Iraq since March 2003.)
