But he failed to save the Gore’s marriage from the evil clutches of George Bush didn’t he Alter??? Ha ha!! George Bush strikes again!!
Sooooo, Obama is the CIRCUS CLOWN???
Oh man, I know they’ve been real successful in peddling their bullsh*t version of history for a long time, but the leftist kooks just CANNOT be allowed to get away with this ridiculous narrative.
Jonathan Alter: The New Larry Sinclair
obama “prevented” a great depression (let's revisit that thought in 6 months)
and Roosevelt didn't have to deal with the results of a predecessor's foreign policy decisions... until 1941
adn they wonder why they’re about to go belly up??
We have a circus going on in our very own White House.
And the taxpayers are the ones called upon to shovel up the poop left by the maoist.
"prevented another Great Depression,"
"exacerbated an otherwise normal credit crunch"
I’ll bet little limp-writed johnie stewart was just slobbering on himself with glee. How edgy they are with their oh-so-hip curse words. Barf-arama.
He says it, it gets out, it resonates. People— The MSM is not dead. One falls another one picks up the baton. They will prevail. Do not believe all the misleading craziness at FR that the MSM is dead.
Jonathan Alter once wrote a piece about how ashamed he was to be a man. I had to admit, I was pretty ashamed he was as well.
Jonathon Alter is a craven weasel who would have given William Durant (1930’s New York Times Pulitzer-winning Soviet apologist) a real run for the George Orwell award for deliberate distortion of the truth and outright lying.
No worries, when Newsmax takes over Newsweek they’ll be sending Alter to some Kenyan hellhole to track down Obama’s birth certificate. That or throw him out on the street.
Alter is one of the reasons Newsweek is doing SOOOOO well financially and their parent company is NOT looking for a buyer of the magazine.
I cannot wait to see Alter being the first one fired at Newsweek if NewsMax or some other entity buys the rag. He is and always has been an idiot. How he stays employed is a mystery to me. He has never had an original thought and just repeats whatever the talking points are for the day.
“Roosevelt didn’t have to deal with foreign policy when he became President. Obama had to deal with a whole nother mess, one of Bush’s messes, in Afghanistan.”
Uh, Obama’s pretty much had the exact same foreign policy as Bush. What has he done differently?
Alters lack of recent and credible contact with reality is just another one of the multitude of reasons that Newsweak is going broke.
The Chicago Way PING!

Alter, a Chicago native and self-described progressive, met then state Sen. Obama in 2002 at his cousin’s house. He’s known Emanuel, Axelrod and Larry Summers for years.

Raised on Chicago politics
Chicago Tribune (IL) - Sunday, June 11, 2006
Author: Kristin Kloberdanz
Chicago native Jonathan Alter, one of political activists Jim and Joanne Alter ‘s four children, recalls a suburban picnic for reform Democrats he attended at age 11. The event was dramatically interrupted when Mayor Richard J. Daley waded through the crowd of his liberal critics to ask Adlai Stevenson III if he would consider replacing the late U.S. Sen. Everett Dirksen, who had recently died in office.
Perhaps not the defining moment in Alter ‘s life, but the affair certainly piqued his interest in politics. As did his parents’ steady stream of dinner and party guests, which included Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Sens. Stevenson and Paul Simon. For a boy so enamored with Abraham Lincoln that his mother baked him a cake every February in honor of the president’s birthday, such proximity to intriguing characters left an indelible mark.
“Growing up in Chicago helped me appreciate the importance of smart, effective politics to change the country and the world,” said Alter , a senior editor at Newsweek and political commentator, in an interview. “I also learned in Chicago to look at the darker side—I saw an awful lot of politicians go to jail.”
