Rick 4-O is good guy - he's smart, thoughtful and engaged. He's used his gifts in positive ways and people are paying attention. But has it gone too far? Too often leaders are built up for the sole purpose of tearing them down. The over exposure backlash kicks in, people start looking for faults, suddenly the guy isn't as perfect as he never claimed to be. With the general disappointment about the caliber of discourse in the presidential debates, Big Rick's name keeps coming up. He'd be better than Brokaw? Soon people will start joking that he'd be better for the actual job than either Obama or McCain. A word of warning to Warren, take care not to get too invested in being the golden one - or the "next Billy Graham." It never lasts. You know that, right?

Warren Warning
Rick 4-O is good guy - he's smart, thoughtful and engaged. He's used his gifts in positive ways and people are paying attention. But has it gone too far?

The over exposure backlash kicks in, people start looking for faults, suddenly the guy isn't as perfect as he never claimed to be. With the general disappointment about the caliber of discourse in the presidential debates, Big Rick's name keeps coming up. He'd be better than Brokaw? Soon people will start joking that he'd be better for the actual job than either Obama or McCain. A word of warning to Warren, take care not to get too invested in being the golden one - or the "next Billy Graham." It never lasts. You know that, right?
