The messianic Obama mag cover is becoming funny. How many more can you all add?

I don't know....

The Time Cover looks like Horns of the Devil.

RUSH: Newsweek magazine, the new cover. The cover is of Obama, and they put another halo on his head! The original picture did not have a halo, but the wife of editor Jon Meacham walked in, saw it, didn't like it. So Newsweek changed the cover photo of Obama with a halo and a bright light behind him because the editor's wife didn't like the original.

Or perhaps a Joe 'Photoshop' Stalin quality... especially that Rolling Stone cover. That's weird.

The hagiophotography has only just begun. I can hardly wait for the podium scene in Denver. I half expect he will appear wearing a robe and sandals. And if he shows up at an outdoor picnic between now and then, I assume there will be twelve others seated at his table, one of whom might just be Hillary (coins in hand).

Notice that in every one of these photos the subject is higher than the viewer. This is typical photoengineering to cause the viewer to “look up” to the person.

Yup
These mag covers also remind me of the Chairman Mao personality cult.
Hey, where's the Newsweek “halo” cover then?
right now, Newsweek, Time, etc put the Pravda of Stalin's communist Soviet Union to shame.
Its enough to make one throw up.

His poses remind me A LOT of Benito Mussolini. He does not resemble him physically at all, but his stance, his head position and his facial expressions are spot-on.

I love the pure propaganda of the Time cover. The 'halo' the breathless headline "How Much Does Experience Matter?" along with the bullet point "Why science says it may be overrated".

Why of course! Experience! It's Overrated! Looking for a good doctor? Get one with no experience, right?! Right! Want to hire a plumber? Look for the rookie. Better yet, get someone who never even attended trade school to tackle your gas water heater. No experience? No problem... until the house goes up in a ball of flame.

Using Time mags logic, we should look for the least experienced nitwit and believe that to be the best. Just how much B.S. does Time think we'll swallow.

At first I thought the white glow around Osama's head might be the glowing headlight of the oncoming political train that's about to hit him. Then I found something else....

....the same shot from different angle...........

Not a cover, but parting the clouds? C'mon.
