Media loves Obama

Barack Obama has not yet taken the oath of office. Yet, many media outlets are alread comparing him to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. Is this too early? Yes! He hasn't done anything to get these comparisons!

The media has given Obama high expectations. Even high enought that possibly, even the messiah, cannot reach. There has been talks that Obama is the reincarnation of Lincoln. This is a far stretch. One thing that could be true is his likeness to FDR. Roosevelt proposed the "New Deal" which created new government programs. Still it is not known if these programs save the American economy after the Great Depression, yet, the FDIC did work. Most people agree that it was Adolf Hitler that ended the Great Depression with World War II.

Is Obama worth all the hype? Nobody knows, he hasn't been in public service long enough for anybody to know.

Below are two current magazine covers (Time magazine and Newsweek magazine):






Isn't this too early? But apparently not for Newsweek magazine.
