Barack Obama on the Cover of Newsweek

First spotted over at Austin Mayor’s blog, Barack is on the cover of this week’s Newsweek. The article, titled “The Audacity of Hope”, is a good overview of what’s expected of him, how he’s managing the lofty expectations from some corners, and what the future looks like for the junior Senator from Illinois.

And in case you missed it over the weekend, Barack signed a $1.9 million book deal with Crown Publishing, covering 2 books and a children’s book. $200k will go to charity (the amount paid for the kids’ book).
