Ebony magazine names President-elect Barack Obama “Person of the Year” in its January issue, available December 9.
In his first interview following the election, Obama says, “We won because the American people mobilized for change. It really was people at a grassroots level who carried our campaign financially, who carried it organizationally, and we don’t want that to dissipate.”
The designated collector’s edition (complete with the first-ever gold Ebony logo) also includes a look at how “Barack’s Chicago” helped shape the man and a look at “First Lady Style: Michelle Obama’s Eclectic Taste”.

I’ve been waiting until January to buy all the new magazines cause I know all of them will be collector’s issues. If you haven’t read his book “The Audacity of Hope” you should go read that.
GO HEAD MR. PRESIDENT!!!!
And I bet yall he will be named Most Fasicinating person this year by Barbra Walters too!
I say, Person of the Decade!
I expect him to be Ebony, Jet, Vibe, Giant, TVI, BET (Even though they be hating undercover how you go have a future Black president and you barley cover it on a Black channel? No voter drive or nothing smh) Person of the year.
Ive never seen a president get this much Media love…Barack is doing the damn thing!
I see you Mr. President!!!!!
He posted a profile on a dating site ___MyInterRacialMatch.com__ . many of his fans were seeking for him and wanna date with him. now that club is very hot because of him.
Obama representing he has a swag like no other.
excellant !
No surprise here, of course he is the person of the year and the next four years.
@ #1 DON’T EVER REFER TO HIM AS THAT!!!! A Ni$$a is an ignorant person, My president elect is ANYTHING BUT. Just goes to show that my generation is as stupid, dumb, an unintelligent as ever. You need a true history lesson & stop disgracing my race w/ your stupidity.
Better yet just go jump off a bridge, any one, pick one preferably that has water under it. Hope you can’t swim.
Harsh I know, but I will not tolerate anyone trying to demean My President!!!
GOD BLESS OBAMA BUT……..

Everywhere and Awesome! That is Mr. President to all #1!
You know, I have a question. Why is it that when African Americans triumph or surpass boundaries we rub it in?
I’ma play devi’s advocate here. Now, when Bill Clinton was elected President, all the minorities LOVED some Bill because he was the closest to a Black man in the White House as America thought we’d get right?! Ok. I didn’t hear one Black person call him “My” President.
So, my question is……why are African Americans calling Obama “My President”? The correct terminology is…”OUR President”. C’mon folx!
*chanting to self: Must not lust after Mr. President….Must not lust…* LOL
