Hitler as Man of the Year that year WAS a good call. Time's Person of the Year (or Man of the Year in those sexist days) is defined as the person who is most influential on the outcome of the year for good or ill. Hitler was not a good man, but can anyone honestly say he wasn't an important man? The year he won MotY from Time, he was right on the edge of starting the most terrible war in the history of the world. And you say that's not important? Please.
Obama's poll numbers in this poll represent an improvement for him; I seem to recall seeing some earlier polls in which he lost to Romney and had closer wins over the other candidates than this. My thinking is that he may have finally recovered from his mistake about the 2010 elections and moved to the left again, in his rhetoric anyway. He is starting to sound like a populist on the stump, and is being accused by the usual suspects of class warfare, and that's why his numbers have improved.
