He ran without regard for sweet talking the swing voter, running towards the middle, he didn't do that this time, as so many presidents have done. He didn't care what enemies he made, in fact he told us he took delight in who his critics were and measured his progress by making enemies, and he also ran as an outsider, in other words, against the status quo, as an agent of change, and succeeded.\"\u003cbr/\u003ePOOL - Michigan  July 13, 2004\u003cbr/\u003e7.

He could have played by the rules, but he broke some of the usual political rules and took chances and prevailed.\"\u003cbr/\u003e10.

No matter if you agree with it or you disagree, I think it was a good choice, because the whole world has changed since September 11th and following also his choices to get involved in the war and start the war, and the whole economy has changed, especially in Europe. So he's man of the year, yes.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAPTN - Washington, DC  November 3, 2004\u003cbr/\u003e16. President Bush and family walk onto stage before presidential acceptance speech\u003cbr/\u003ePresident George W. Bush for the second time was chosen as Time magazine's Person of the Year, it was announced on Sunday, after winning re-election and \"reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style\" - a reference to his cowboy image.\u003cbr/\u003eThe news magazine's editors say they chose Bush \"for sharpening the debate until the choices bled, for reframing reality to match his design, for gambling his fortunes - and ours - on his faith in the power of leadership.\"\u003cbr/\u003eTime's 2004 Person of the Year package, on U.S. newsstands on Monday, includes an Oval Office interview with Bush, an interview with his father,\u003cbr/\u003eformer President George H. W. Bush, and a profile of Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove.\u003cbr/\u003eIn an interview with the magazine, Bush attributed his victory over Democratic candidate John Kerry to his foreign policy and the wars he began in Afghanistan and Iraq.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The election was about the use of American influence,\" Bush said.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter a gruelling campaign, Bush remains a polarising figure in America and around the world, and that's part of the reason he earned the magazine's honour, said Managing Editor Jim Kelly.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Many, many Americans deeply wish he had not won,\" Kelly said in a telephone interview. \"And yet he did.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn the Time article, Bush said he relishes that some people dislike him.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think the natural instinct for most people in the political world is that they want people to like them,\" Bush said. \"On the other hand, I think sometimes I take kind of a delight in who the critics are.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBush joins six other U.S. presidents who have twice won the magazine's top honour: Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower (first as a general), Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Franklin Roosevelt holds the record with three nods from the editors.\u003cbr/\u003eKelly said Bush has changed dramatically since he was named Person of the Year in 2000 after the Supreme Court awarded him the presidency.\u003cbr/\u003eThe magazine gives the honour to the person who had the greatest impact, good or bad, over the year.\u003cbr/\u003eKelly said other candidates included Michael Moore and Mel Gibson, \"because in different ways their movies tapped in to deep cultural streams,\" and political strategist Rove, who is widely credited with engineering Bush's win. Kelly said choosing Rove alone would have taken away from the credit he said Bush deserves.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is the first time an individual has won the award since 2001, when then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was celebrated for his response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.\u003cbr/\u003eThe American soldier earned the honour last year; in 2002, the magazine tapped Coleen Rowley, the FBI agent who wrote a critical memo on FBI\u003cbr/\u003eintelligence failures, and Cynthia Cooper and Sherron Watkins, who blew the whistle on scandals at Enron and Worldcom.\u003cbr/\u003eOn the streets of Washington, reaction to the announcement was mixed, but most people acknowledged, even if they disagreed with George Bush's policies, he did have a major impact on the past year's world events.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
