You're Exactly Correct !!!!!

Speaking of which, check out the cover of the latest Time magazine:

The changing font sizes are perfectly chosen so that if you're walking past a magazine rack, all you notice is Obama's face and the bold letters, "THE NEXT PRESIDENT".

Only if you come closer can you see that this is just part of a caption which reads, "Why Barack Obama Could Be The Next President".

I'd call this an attempt at a subliminal message, but it's not that subtle. Time just blatantly wants to label Obama as "The Next President" for anyone looking at the cover.

Time's April 1st issue is a little late this year, isn't it?

I question whether Obama would have the ability to run the country. It's a lot more complicated than just sitting in Congress. The picture is actually quite funny when you think about it. The media needs a champion and since the Democrats don't have one, they're going to build their own. LOL
