Newsweek Cover: 'The First Gay President' (rainbow halo and all)
Politico ^ | 5/13/12

Posted on 05/13/2012 8:52:19 AM PDT by markomalley

"‘Let the games begin," Tina Brown said last week after Time Magazine released its controversial breastfeeding cover.

Brown, whose tenure as editor at Newsweek has seen an array of controversial covers, will respond with the above, pegged to Andrew Sullivan's piece on Obama's support for same-sex marriage: "The First Gay President."

The magazine is currently available on iTunes.

>>Tsk...He’s not the first gay President. He’s the first bi one.

There’s no evidence that he’s bi. His past “girlfriends” are a composite fictional character. He’s married to a wookiee. And now Newsweek has outed him. As far as I’m concerned, he’s queer as a three dollar bill.

That information needs to get out there. I think most that run the press these days are gay reporters and all. That’s why they are so protective of BO.

LOL. LOL. LOL. Bathhouse Barry is going to have an aneurysm when he sees that.

You can take Ohio off the list of battleground states now.

I thought Obama was the 2nd gay president after James Buchanan actually, but the point remains the same.

“Time... Newsweak. They’re more like pamphlets or brochures now than magazines.”

Pamphlets and brochures are more appropriate formats for propaganda anyway.

I think they got the banner headlines wrong, though:

1. ARE YOU READY TO BE A JELLYFISH
2. A FIENDISH NEW MEDIA PLOY?
4. NETWORKS GO HOLLYWOOD

{Well, they got #3 right, anyway...}

I thought Abe Lincoln was our first gay President?

If Buchanan and Lincoln were both gay, Buchanan was president right before Lincoln.

All I can think of with Obama's background is my favorite scene from the movie Slap Shot when the owner of the Chiefs tells Reggie that she doesn't let her son watch hockey and that she's folding the team.

"You know your son looks like a fag to me?" "You better get married again cause he's going to wind up with somebody's blank in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson!"

"How dare you! How dare you!"

In Obama's case.....you can say Jack Robinson, or least Larry Sinclair.

Well he got a “first” in something, I mean besides being the worst President ever. Some people have been saying he is the first “black” President, but almost everyone knows that Bill(Bubba) Clinton was the first black POTUS.

I know..I’m dreaming...a well-meaning fourth grade student was allowed to write the copy for the cover of an internationally distributed magazine...or...DC Comics has a new Bizarro World mag disguised for April Fools...

Jesus...no, i’m awake. Did someone tell Michelle about this, or like Rudy Giuliani’s wife, who apparrently didn’t know she was getting a divorce, did she have to hear this stuff from the media?

...but it’s going to cause the same sort of “Whaaa?” reaction from people that that goddamned awful New Yorker cover did, with Obama and his wife dressed up like terrorists, fist-bumping in the Oval Office did.

First, that halo needs a pair of hands grasping it and setting it on his head. If you know what I mean and I think you do.

Second, if Andrew is going to call Barry the first gay president, is he now going to say Sasha and Malia aren’t really Barry’s daughters? Or is that particular accusation a one-candidate deal?

The magazine won’t come out until May, 21. They still have time to pull the cover, if it hurts their hero’s poll numbers.

If they pull this cover now; the queers will squeal like stuck pigs; accusing Newsweek of caving to intolerant, right-wing extremists.

Get the popcorn...

Not for long. Together with Time they can just muster enough pages to hold the covers apart.

Newsweek is still around?

Why in tarnation do people still buy magazines?

It's no different than having a wad of dirty paper, full of two day old news thrown on your driveway.

Oh look, the magazine and newspaper are here along with all the junkmail. I can finally read about what they want me to read about.

Amazing...

LOL! Unfortunately I live in New York city and that fool is coming here today to be fawned over by those cows on The View tv show, then he’s giving a speech to a bunch of dykes I assume about killing babies and faggatry, then he’s hitting one fundraiser after another basically shutting down the entire city so it will take everyone 10000 hours to get to and from work. And he was here only a few weeks ago doing the same crap. On one hand I like it because it punishes the hell out of all the turds who votes for this queer. But on the other hand I gotta suffer through this sh#t as well.

It's too late now, the "May 21" issue just came out--a week ahead of time.

Why do these idiotic magazines continue to publish the news as if it occurred a week later than it actually did?

The world could end on May 20, and we wouldn't know it because news magazines are publishing a week late (or a week early, depending on how you look at it). Stupid practice in this day and age.
