Thanks, Jack. It should probably be elsewehere but it is pretty apt don't you think :-)

I re-read your opening statement

Time basically awards this to the most Newsworthy person.

I think this probably indicates what this award is really for and puts Obama well to the front if not in the lead. The only other person I can of who think who generated more news was Osama bin Laden. But his newsworthyness was cut short somewhat! I agree with your sentiment of 2:21PM as well.
