Years ago, Mad Magazine used to feature stories by Don Martin, often something like "Don Martin Drops 32 Stories" with the main cartoon character, presumably Don Martin, saying as he passed floors on the way down, "So far, so good!".
Thomas Friedman points out that, in effect, many political figures and political movements are still up to that, except, unlike Don Martin, they're wishing to take us with them.

Of course Don Martin's character could have been saying, "I believe I can fly!" and indeed he would have been flying, sort of, with a somewhat suspect trajectory.
Thomas Friedman's column in the New York Times, an enjoyable, enlightening and rousing read to start your week.
