Dec. 19, 2012 — Barack Obama has been voted Time magazine's Person of the Year for the second time, beating out a Pakistani teenager, Egypt's new president, and a previous president. Obama is the first person from his country to be named Person of the Year. He is also only the third American to be chosen twice, after Abraham Lincoln and Bill Clinton. Time editors said they selected Obama because of "his success in addressing the issues that dominated world politics in 2012: growth and poverty, war and peace, population and environment." He received 33% of the vote against 13% for Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi and 11% for Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist who was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for girls' right to an education. Clinton was named Person of the Year in 1996 when he was president. Lincoln was selected in 1865 when he was president-elect. Each man's picture appears on the cover of the issue naming them as its subjects. Obama has won more awards than any other candidate in history. He has won more Nobel prizes than any other person too!
