I am so angry about the cover. WHY didn't TIME do an ugly cover like that about CLINTON~!??!?!?!?!

[reagan_fanatic]

Sick sick sick. The editors at Time out to be ashamed of themselves.

Oh, I forgot - you have to be human to have any feelings.

[Paulus Invictus]

Time is a leftist, commie-loving piece of tripe as fair and balanced as Pravda once was.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Ok folks drop the magazine and step away from the bookshelf Its ran by leftists what did you expect roses and halo's ?

Ya'll need to get a grip i like this president too but he's just a man not a God ! He's going to be open to the same scrutiny that anyone trying to do the right thing is open to!

Do you agree with EVERYTHING this president does ? ....if you do your disillusioned that he's perfect he's not !

Bush is proving to be the Great Polarizer.

Time magazine once again proves the malice it has for Bush. The entire staff is liberal left wing "rats" ... use to subscribe to Time years ago ... gave it up shortly after Clinton ascended to our nations highest office. Hit pieces like this serve to remind me why ...

[Camel Joe]

Screw Time magizine and the commies who run it, lets make this action figure the best selling toy since Elmo!!!

Time Magazine's Curious Habit -- "When Time Magazine featured the mug shot taken shortly after O.J. Simpson's arrest, a great many people were deeply offended by the way Time altered the photo. The editorial staff and art department drew heat from all corners for darkening O.J.'s skin. It was theorized that Time believed Simpson would appear more "sinister" if he looked darker."

[Drango]

Was it Time or Newsweek that ran a cover of Newt as the grinch who stole Christmas?

Doesn't matter....I don't read either one....

[Rockiesrider]

When you read the article, it is summed up by stating the question: "Is Bush the reason or the product for our divisiveness"? Come on! Clinton gets impeached for purgeous activity, is wholely defended by the Democrats and Time has the balls to ask whether this President is the reason for our divisiveness??

The Dems need to ask themselves why are they losing their majority? In stead of cranking up their animosity with each failed political move. There is a littany of hardball political actions initiated by the Democrats trying to counter the conservative juggernaut. Blaming others for their own failures is a major reason why their losing. Keep up the good work Time. I'm sure this piece will bring back the lost subscribers...not!

"There is an axiom in American politics that says whenever a sitting President is running for a second term, the election is more a referendum on him than a judgment on his opponent. President George W. Bush has taken this truism to a new level. "

I have followed politics and political history for about 30 years, and I am entirely unfamiliar with any such "axiom" or "truism". In any case, it is Clinton who would have "taken" this "truism" to the highest level, not Bush. Typical lamestream presstitutes, making it up as they go along, and right from the first sentence, too.

TIME is desperate for sales. They started sending me their liberal rag magazine unsolicited. I wrote and told them to cancel it PRONTO.

[kinghorse]

We are at a turning point in Iraq in terms of credibility and Time Magazine does it's best to put the President in a weak light? I don't get it. Time Warner AOL wants soldiers killed?

Oh I forgot. They owe the Clinton machine big time for all the favors AOL received from Clinton. That's right boys and girls, there's a reason AOL's HQ is on the Beltway. MSFT is in Redmond Washington and they certainly didn't feel the love from Clinton. Maybe they didn't pay the protection money like AOL? Maybe that's why Clinton's apparachik went after Microsoft?

And now Time magazine makes Bush look like Afred E. Newman on their cover instead of the leader of the free world. No surprise really.

[Godfollow]

I think it was also Time that had on their cover, "How (VP) Chaney Sold the War On Iraq." The assumption being that they pulled a slick sales job on the American public, pulling the wool over our eyes.

I am an ordinary man. I saw no illusions on 9-11. Even before the word was spoken, I knew we were going to have to go in and remove Saddam. No sales job was needed to convence me of what was going to have to be done. I am greatful for the leadership of the Presidend and VP. I wonder however about the State Department.

[RobFromGa]

This is disgusting. And a new low even for Time. How can we give them a black eye?

[JediJones]

Here is my response to TIME...

You embarrass your magazine with laughably biased articles such as this. The writers need to be fired so they can follow their true calling as campaign organizers for Howard Dean.

Is it objective reporting to continually proclaim that Bush has "nothing like a mandate," even when his presidency soared to record heights of public approval as high as 89%? The fact that support for the Republican party has swept the nation's polls during Bush's term, giving Bush the clearest version of a mandate, that of a Republican-controlled legislature granted to him by the public to lend the necessary support to his initiatives.

Is it fair to repeatedly describe Bush as having a divisive, "us-and-them" attitude? I failed to find a paragraph where you lay out the proof of this supposed fact. It's almost amusing to see your pundit reporters single out Bush as divisive because he suggested freedom has been granted to all people by God. Imagine that, a president actually quoting the values this country was founded on as stated in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. What a radical, divisive point-of-view indeed.

In fact, Bush has reached out to America and the world with countless brave, powerful, and positive messages like that one. Sadly, it is not Bush, but the Democrats and international liberal establishment who have attempted to divide us. While the foreign establishment tries to steal America's success from us just for spite, the domestic liberals try to tear down all of our country's fair-minded anti-drug, anti-abortion, anti-terrorism, and anti-tax policies. The only people for whom liberals have less respect than Bush are themselves. Why else would they want to create a society where they can do nothing and get away with everything, including stealing money from America's successful, hard-working people, no matter how destructive to our country and demeaning to the human spirit their selfish desires are? In fact, as liberals have been rejected by America like never before in a genuine anti-mandate, they have become so desperate to divide our country that they even attack their own policies if Bush happens to support them, like the prescription drug bill, just for the sake of dividing America. That's the kind of behavior you don't see from Republicans, because we want America to be united behind what is right. We do not try to divide the country just for political points as Democrats are so desperately doing right now. Republicans are uniters. Democrats are dividers.

You have no idea the backlash this increasing barrage of condescendingly biased articles from the elite media is causing in the electorate. Think L.A. Times and Arnold. When liberals like these writers have such a powerful media voice and use it to wantonly bash our president, it only makes the average folk more motivated and mobilized to get out there and counteract it with the only voice we have, our votes.

If it wasn't for doctor's waiting rooms, would Time even be in business?

[Delphinium]

Hopefully they are exposed for who they really are.

[TatieBug]

Disgusting cover! Tried to make a comment to TIME but they don't provide that unless you join...no way. Do you have a link for comments? They should have Michael WACO Jackson on their cover.

[bdeaner]

Based on Bush's polls following 9/11, he united a country when it mattered the most.

[an amused spectator]

Dickerson and Tumulty. What a surprise. ;-)
