Time for President Obama?

Time magazine ran a cover story on potential presidential candidate, the junior senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.

He should be very wary of this kind of positive press, particularly since his accomplishments so far are few.

After they puff up your reputation, they have a habit of turning around and puncturing it with a vengeance.

First they build you up,
Then they tear you down
Shredding your rep
All over town.

Yea... how vicious.

Though, if he's really smart (Barak, I mean), he'll refrain from running for president for atleast the next couple elections. But then, there's always that fear of losing the "momentum" and wishing to ride the wave while it's still at its highest.
Very tempting.

He's pretty smart - I think - but you're right about the temptation being strong to strike while the iron is hot!
