I don’t think they meant this to be flattering. It’s a photo-shop rich opportunity though. Newsweak provided the meme now the ‘shoppers can play.
Apparently running Newsweek was too much for their CEO, so at least they are an experienced source on failure and incompetence.
The last time the Presidency was too big for the President was when Skippy was in there.
We’ll solve this problem the same way we did then; we’ll cowboy up!
The creepy thing about this “caricature” is that Obama belonged to a sect with a racist, new age, cult-like doctrine, Black Liberation Theology, which held the black race is the manifestation of god on earth and that a black man will exalt himself as the messiah, who will be the “destroyer” of America and white society. Below are some qoutes from Cones books on BLT:

It is a theology which confronts white society as the racist Antichrist,
Blackness is a manifestation of the being of God...
The black Christ is he who nourishes the rebellious impulse in blacks so that at the appointed time the black community can respond collectively to the white community as a corporate “bad nigger,” lashing out at the enemy of humankind.
The new day is the presence of the black Christ as expressed in the liberation of the black community.
This question — What about integration? — completely ignores the beastly behavior of the “devil white man”
To be black is to be committed to destroying everything this country loves and adores.
The black revolution is the work of Christ.
I believe that all aspiring black intellectuals share the task that LeRoi Jones has described for the black artist in America: “To aid in the destruction of America as he knows it:”
he (Christ) is those very blacks whom white society shoots and kills. The contemporary Christ is in the black ghetto, making decisions about white existence and black liberation.
God’s revelation... is what happens in a black ghetto when the ghettoized decide to strike against their enemies.
Because whiteness by its very nature is against blackness, the black prophet is a prophet of national doom. He proclaims the end of the “American Way,” for God has stirred the soul of the black community...
The goal of black theology is the destruction of everything white
To be a disciple of the black Christ is to become black with him. Looting, burning, or the destruction of white property are not primary concerns
The appearance of Jesus as the black Christ also means that the black revolution is God’s kingdom becoming a reality in America. According to the New Testament, the kingdom is a historical event.
The black revolution is a continuation of that small kingdom. Whites do not recognize what is happening, and they are thus unable to deal with it.

Ha, ha, ha, gag!
Newsweak hits new heights of the absurd.
LOL. Hussein is a failure, so no one can do it? Hilarity ensues.
No wonder Newsweak is losing readership and business.
It's not the office, it's the occupant. The President is the head of the execute branch...the CEO. If he appoints competent secretaries, has a good staff and doesn’t micro-manage, then he can manage the job with only two arms…
This is why we should elect "big picture" leaders and not policy wonks.
First of all, Obama is not "God of all things."
God is God of all things.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
Revelation 22:13
Secondly, the Hindu "god" Shiva is Satanic.
Shiva is the destroyer of the universe (as Hindus believe Brahma created the universe). Shiva is simply Satan by another name, although even many Hindus do not realize it.
“Why the modern presidency may be too much to handle for one person”?
Funny. They didn’t seem to make excuses for the last president.
I’ve been saying this for about 2+ years and it looks like it’s more of the same: NEWSWEEK/Dailybeast is a SATANIC magazine..(started to notice weird occultic articles back in 2008 when I worked at Sears: it was the only mag that the management subscribed to, and Newsweek was constantly posting articles either tearing down Sarah Palin, or pro-occultic articles like a puff-piece in the new-pagan “Burning Man”).
J.S.
Wasn’t Shiva [as Kali] the “Great Destroyer”?. They may be, unintentionally, onto something.
I’d feel better if this cover photo were a Photoshop. Alas, it looks authentic. Who was the photographer, Richard Avedon?
Interesting. That's not only Shiva the Destroyer, that's Shiva depicted as Nataraja, in the act of destruction of the universe.
Well, kudos to Newsweek for a most apt depiction, although I rather doubt it's the one they intended.
SHIVA:
Destroyer of Worlds
