Although it is now digital, Newsweek celebrated President Obama's upcoming inauguration with a "cover" that calls the event "the second coming," an apparent reference to the return of Jesus Christ, The Blaze reported Friday.

A post at Twitchy called the cover "creepy," while The Blaze described it as "controversial" and “questionable.”

The cover highlights an article by former editor Evan Thomas, who once compared Obama to God.

“Well, we were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn't felt that way in recent years. So Obama’s had, really, a different task We're seen too often as the bad guys. And he – he has a very different job from – Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is ‘we are above that now.’ We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something – I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God," he told Chris Matthews in 2009.

This is not the first time Newsweek has used such a theme when portraying Obama.

NewsWeek is badly damaged

[Chode]

[I want the USA back]

One of the dreams of the left is to eliminate Christianity and replace it with totalitarian control. 0bama is the embodiment of their dreams.

IOW, it’s the second going.

[LifeComesFirst]

“Newsweek” is it? Never heard of it.

“the second coming,” an apparent reference to the return of Jesus Christ,”

I'm tired of these idiots seeing BO as a ghod. B-(

Says it all, doesn't it?

Actually its more like when you think the diarrhea is all gone and try to go do something else only to end up running back to the bathroom.

True, he's like a nasty case of the flu, when you think it's gone, here comes Round 2. B-P

[Nowhere Man]

One more thought. When I was a young kid, Seals and Crofts came out with a song called “King of Nothing.” (1974) In reality, that is Bronco Bama.

They meant it’s a #2 coming.

Blech. Thanks for posting. I couldn’t stomach doing it.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

More likely the 2nd coming of the most evil POS POTUS in the history of the USA...his 2nd coming from HELL.

[Rennes Templar]

Or,

“I am the Lord thy God, Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

Newsweek on-line doesn't have a chance - their bread and butter readers enjoy predigested liberal propaganda. People smart enough to use a computer expect more. I suspect they'll fail...

For me it’ll be ignore-uration.
