Reading this is like watching an unassisted triple play in baseball. You see it, you pause to make sure you’ve seen what you think you’ve seen, and then you marvel at the sheer odds of it having happened. Would a big name at a big magazine like Mark Halperin really sign off on something so absurd, and so fawning in its absurdity, as to be instantly destined for infamy in the blogosphere? Of course not. The odds against it are a million to one. And yet.

This is a magic moment, my friends.

Instantly comfortable and highly skilled at the hardest job in the world — proving his supporters’ contention that all the traits that made him a great candidate would serve him well in the White House: even temper, cool demeanor, boldness under pressure, shrewd facility for managing personnel, unfailing instincts about when to delegate and when to engage.

[RobinMasters]

Ping.

[GeronL]

They worship the man. He could literally roast and eat children and they would support him.

[lonestar]

How stupid!

[doc1019]

Just shows that there is true idiocy at Time.

[Yardstick]

LOL @ Time

[Porterville]

Yeah, but with out affirmative action he'd have a “D” average.. tops

[CaptRon]

Even with all those incompletes?

[flutters]

He had oats for breakfast this morning.

[Porterville]

I should have been a comedy writer.

[thecodont]

They worship the man. He could literally roast and eat children and they would support him.

OR he could invite another country to bomb us, and they would be singing his praises.

I'm sorry to say I don't think that's an exaggeration.

[Tennessee Nana]

Grading on the curve...

[mockingbyrd]

DAYUM....Lord help us. Wonder what it would have taken to get a C? Nuclear war?

[digger48]

Would Mark like a Kleenex or a moist towelette?

[Jet Jaguar]

Heads up.

[airborne]

"Down here we give it an A + !"

[REDWOOD99]

Teacher’s pet.

[rlmorel]

Roll.
On.
The.
Floor.
And.
Laugh.
My.
Effing.
Ass.
Off.

[T Lady]

Time ceased being a magazine of any importance IMHO during the Clinton years. This only illustrates just how securely Halperin's lips are plastered to Obama's backside.

[UCANSEE2]

Wonder what it would have taken to get a C?

Mark Halperin being laid off by Time.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

These covers just represent the covers Obama has been on before his inauguration.

[eyedigress]

That should increase their credibility ten-fold, LOL.

[jimfree]

I get the minus part.

[FlingWingFlyer]

This issue of Time should start showing up in your dentist’s office in about 18 months. Look for it!

[agooga]

C-

I’m feeling generous.

[crymeariver]

The entire staff at Time magazine wears those t-shirts the DNC gives out...I LOVE MY PRESIDENT! I am astounded that people dont see the craziness of it all.

[JaguarXKE]

He could rape little children and Time would still give him an A (as long as it isn’t rape rape)

[patriot preacher]

ROTFLMBO

[OrangeHoof]

Kind of shocked it isn’t an A+. I guess that’s because he hasn’t closed Gitmo yet or returned the troops from Iraq.

But Obama and Time are on the same page. The faster they can kill the economy and push America to their socialist/Marxist utopia, the happier both will be. Of course, the idiots at Time might be unemployed when that happens but I’m sure there will be “shovel-ready” jobs Obama will make for them as they dig mass graves for the resisters.

[Oztrich Boy]

The ultimate grade inflation: Everybody gets some kind of A.

[OrangeHoof]

This issue of Time should start showing up in your dentist’s office in about 18 months. Look for it!

In case I need to puke before seeing the doctor?

[dennisw]

Time magazine’s staff and Dave Letterman’s audience are the same people

[vamoose]

The only reason he didn’t get an A was that Gibbs blew the curve.

[tflabo]

Note to self... never pay a penny for a Time Magazine.
Self to note... I never read the rag anyway!

[BenLurkin]

I'm surprised they have Stanley's picture in the “Raising Obama” issue.

She pretty much deserted him.

[ElayneJ]

LOL! What would he have to do to get a B?

[maine-iac7]

I guess they didn't see SNL - or they, like most, thought is was comedy.

It was meant to be,I guess, but it was straight up truth - - even to the end when his accomplishments were summed up in 2 words: Jack - Squat.\

[pvoce]

I’m thinking the minus is due to kids not on perfect pitch singing Zero’s praises...

[ExTexasRedhead]

F- and dropping, IMO.

[Thrownatbirth]

He had Bill Ayers complete the essay portion of the test.

[ThunderSleeps]

A-?! What a {expletive} joke! I wouldn’t even grade him, I’d expel obama. No wonder the fringe media (formerly known as MSM, but now woefully out of touch) is circling the drain. They don’t provide any news or service anyone wants, just leftist/socialist propaganda.

[Onelifetogive]

Kind of shocked it isn’t an A+.

They really believe he deserves that, but they want to have something for future issues.

[Empireoftheatom48]

HHHHHHHHHHHHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHaaaaaaaaaa! He sucks

[primatreat]

I understand that Time is. “outa time”. Not even on the supermarket checkout line in my area.

[popdonnelly]

One wonders what would earn Obama an “A”.

[Tublecane]

“The odds against it are a million to one.”

Actually, the odds are more like one to one. How naive do you have to believe Time magazine would give Obama an objective appraisal?

[Tublecane]

Let me guess, the answer to the “How Much Does Experience Matter?” headline was “Not At All”.

[Rembrandt]

“Yeah, but with out affirmative action he’d have a “D” average.. tops..”

He’s probably still wondering where is the Affirmative Action program for the Presidency. After all, screwing up with the Queen of England (a tape of his speeches) oughta be worth an A+, bowing to the head guy in Saudi Arabia oughta be another A+, Dissing the U.S. everywhere he goes oughta be good for extra credits and so on. Why don’t people understand and just “move on?”

[catnipman]

What’s “Time Magazine”?

Didn’t they go out of business right after “LOOK”, or was that right after “Collier’s”?
