Every year TIME magazine picks the most influential person to be their “Person of the Year” and this year that honour goes to newly re-elected President Barack Obama.

Obama previously won this honour in 2008. This year he graces the silver-bordered cover and is credited for “finding and forging a new majority, for turning weakness into opportunity and for seeking, amid great adversity, to create a more perfect union.”

TIME editor noted that Obama is the first Democratic candidate since Franklin Delano Roosevelt to win more than 50% of the vote twice in a row and the first president since the 1940s to be re-elected when the high unemployment rates.

Congrats to President Obama for this great recognition!
