President Obama was chosen as the 'Person of the Year 2012' NOT Malala.
We are in a habit of not taking a risk with new ideas, faces, struggles, ideologies ...
Toronto Star's heading is, "Time magazine names its ‘Person of the Year’ – and it’s not Malala Yousafzai".
Basically this year's nomination came as a surprise since, people were expecting a new name.
For many it has been controversial, as controversial as was the Noble Prize nomination for Obama. :-)
In 1939, TIME Magazine chose Adolf Hitler for it 'Person of the Year' says Dennis Byrnne of the Chicago Now. He further wrote: "Time magazine's person of the year is Obama; should have been Malala Yousafzai" ...I don't agree with his interpretation of hows and whys but nevertheless, a part of his narrative is what I do agree with too... that even though 2 women made it to the Top 5 short-listed candidates but then the magazine struck out, perhaps blinded by its ideology, in overlooking Malala Yousafzai..."
