US President Barack Obama is the first Democratic President since FDR to win more than 50% of the
vote in consecutive elections and the first President since 1940 to win
re-election with an unemployment rate north of 7.5%.
All elections are about change, and 2012’s was as well. Pretty much
everyone voted for change of some kind: 49% of voters wanted to change
the President, while 51% of voters wanted the change that Obama promised
four years earlier.
For finding and forging a new majority, for turning weakness into
opportunity and for seeking, amid great adversity, to create a more
perfect union,Barack Obama is TIME's 2012 Person of the Year
