Newsweek Obama Cover: 'The First Gay President'

Bill Clinton was the first black president. And now, according to Newsweek, we have the first gay president.

Yes, all the speculation over what cover Tina Brown would choose for Newsweek is over. Despite several suggestions from The New Republic on this crucial subject, Brown refrained from taking their kindly advice and chose a picture of President Obama with a rainbow halo over his head.

[PJ-Comix]

Does Newsweek actually think they are doing Obama any favors with their cover?

[Beowulf9]

He’s the prez AND the first lady:)

[Astronaut]

LOL. I’ve been saying that since the girly faggot got elected! Newsweek has just clued into it now? BTW, is Newsweek still in business? I’m sure their 17 loyal readers will find the cover very interesting and provocative.

[roadcat]

Oh-Bam-Ah! More appropriate cover would be the pics of him bending over bowing to other male leaders. He’s had lots of practice bending over.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I saw that cover earlier. I really thought that somebody was making fun of Obama. I really thought somebody photoshopped a picture of Obama with a homosexual themed rainbow halo onto a fake Newsweek cover.

I am really shocked to learn that this is their actual cover picture. I don’t think I shock too easily at what the liberals in the MSM do, but this one seemed so over the top to me.

[GeronL]

I am still surprised they haven’t folded already.

[Pollster1]

They still give him the halo. I doubt that anyone in the world looks to Time and Newsweak for objectivity any more. It's all about finding an echo chamber that repeats back the readers' biases.

What does the rainbow halo mean?

[Dilbert San Diego]

The gay groups use rainbows as an image or color scheme as a symbol of their movement.

A rainbow halo could signify a symbolism of being sacreligious. Or it could mean that they think Obama is an angel for supporting homosexual marriage. Or it could be a nod to Obama saying that he supports homosexual marriage due to the Biblical principle of the Golden Rule.

One thing is certain. This cover is meant to convey a message about homosexual marriage and about Obama.

Let me see if I get this: Gays (deviants) make up 1-2% of the entire US population, and he's reaching out to them in order to gain their vote, while at the same time completely turning away independents? WTF! You'll notice i didn't mention black voters included here. The only thing important to him is the color of his skin.

Whomever it is advising Obama to take these actions, I say THANK YOU! :-D

What does the rainbow halo mean?

You big silly, it means he's now officially a secular saint.

Somebody (the media)has polling data which shows that the only living thing that couldn't beat Zero in November is the thin layer of microbial film under Aunt Ruby's refrigerator.

I now deem this election officially OVER - either that or there is a blockbuster revelation relative to Obama's sexuality which is about to hit the 24 hour news cycle and the lamestream is doing this so that when it is revealed, they can claim

"old news!"

Hmmmm ... People here will read that in ways that Andrew may not have intended ...

But it won't be the first time he or Newsweek have shot themselves in the foot.

I guess this is an attempt to one-up Time's breastfeeding cover.

It won't work.

[Artcore]

Oh yes, lets also NOT forget, the 31 States who've passed Constitutional amendments defining marriage between a MAN and WOMAN have been by significant majorities.

I hope these queers can really get behind you Barry (No pun intended)!

I bet his wife is humiliated by this.I wonder if she knew Obama’s preferences before she married him.

[paddles]

My guess is yes. She got a big leg up when she hitched her fat-ass wagon to his down low night train.

[P-Marlowe]

I bet his wife is humiliated by this.

Apparently it was his kids who convinced him to come out of the closet (where he was smooching with a gay secret service agent).

While our church searches for a pastor to replace the one who recently retired after 30 years inour pulpit, we have an interim pastor.

This morning, he began with:

"This is not part of the sermon, but I feel compelled to take a stand: Marriage is between one man and one woman -- for life -- -- because that is what GOD'S WORD says -- no matter what any official says !"

The response was the expected healthy rumble of "Amen!"s -- and then the entire congregation erupted into loud and sustained applause!!

Ø'hØmØ's queer stance definitely has not helped his prospects in Atlanta, Texas!!

[Jim Scott]

Mitt Romney should send a thank you note to Newsweek but I would advise him to heed the little French General Napoleon Bonaparte: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

The story’s by Andrew Sullivan, no less.
