Ben Bernanke - Person of the Year 2009 - TIME

Love it.

Time.com’s Person of the Year 2009 slug:

“The story of the year was a weak economy that could have been much, much weaker. Thank the man who runs the Federal Reserve, our mild-mannered economic overlord.”

Nothing like celebrating… not winning.

“Well, he doesn’t smell as bad as he could…”

“Hey, a C- isn’t so bad, is it? It’s not an F!”

“So what if you came in fifth place? At least you didn’t come in tenth!”
