This was a bit of shocker, Fed. Chairman Ben Bernanke, was named Time magazine's many of the year...
    
    In defending its choice, Time says:

     “But the main reason Ben Shalom Bernanke is Time's Person of the Year for 2009 is that he is the most important player guiding the world's most important economy.
