Just what has Obama done to warrant time calling him the 'next president'? I'm baffled.

He wrote a book about himself, but so did Dennis Rodman and OJ Simpson but they didn't get a cover on time magazine with the title 'the next president'. Regardless, you'd have to question the motives and ego of someone who writes a 'memoir' (see Biography) of themselves no less, being in their 40s.... There are two chapters where Obama discusses being above the fray but he has yet to commit any action that would back his statements up.

He also beat Alan Keyes in an election but so did what's his face Sarbanes. That woman.. Bulkowski did the same a few years later, both in Maryland, but they didn't get covers with "The Next President". Hell, Bob Dole beat Alan Keyes and an entire field of Republican Presidential candidates and HE didn't get a cover on Time that said "The next President" either....

If beating Alan Keyes is a sign of political strength then so is beating the Detroit Lions by 30 points in the NFL would make you a Super Bowl contender. In the end it's all stawman.

Basically Dems love this guy because he's black and cute. There's nothing more to this guy than that, or nothing of substance that would lead me to believe otherwise. This guy is flavor of the week...
