'Time' Magazine has named President George W. Bush its person of the year for the second time. Bush was previously selected in 2000 after his slim, Supreme Court aided election win over Al Gore.

'Time' chose President Bush for 'reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style,' according to the accompanying article. 'Many, many Americans deeply wish he had not won,' Time managing editor Jim Kelly said. 'And yet he did.'

Bush said he hears the criticism of his opponents but is often pleased by it. '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.'

Kelly said that this year's President Bush was different from the one they gave the award to in 2000. 'He is not the same man. He's a much more resolute man. He is personally as charming as ever but I think the kind of face he's shown to the American public is one of much, much greater determination.'

Other candidates included Bush's campaign guru Karl Rove, and film makers Michael Moore and Mel Gibson. Ironically, Moore's film, 'Farenheit 9/11' was openly critical of Bush while Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ' drew controversy for its grusome depiction of the death of Jesus and for its alleged anti-Semitism.

Six other U.S. presidents have won Time's Person of the Year award twice: Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Only one president has won three times, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
