The other day, Newsweek had a cover story about Mitt Romney's "Wimp Factor."
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?
The agonizing answer (for Obama acolytes) and the truth is that the only people who are better off than they were 4 years ago are the most soulless golem that comprise the 1% cronies of the Chicago syndicate better known as “progressives” and Obamunists.
Things have gotten progressively worse for the most vulnerable Americans especially may I note for people of color, the working poor, senior citizens and the disabled or anyone living on a fixed income.
When we factor in the stunning inflation of the cost of food, gasoline, electricity and health care the poor in America, those who bleeding heart crooks on the left always exploit and claim to represent, are suffering cruel poverty unseen since the Great Depression and their numbers are growing exponentially.
It causes anyone with the slightest degree of humanity and/or conscience to wince and to wonder if there isn’t something Pharaohesque in the DNA of the new democrat that makes them knowingly gleeful at the suffering of so many as they enjoy the grotesque, nouveau riche spoils of their office?
THE NEW LEFT...OF, FOR AND BY THE ONE PERCENT!
Exactly
Magazines run on advertising revenue. When a country is in a depression, advertising revenue dries up. I suspect that perhaps someone in accounting has seen the numbers and advised the editorial staff that if Obama is re-elected they are all going to be on the unemployment line and then the editors decided that the prudent thing to do to save their sorry ass jobs is to jettison the guy causing all their problems.
They may agree with Obama 100% on his socialist/communist agenda, but money talks and under Obama, these news magazines are seeing less and less of it every day.
Or maybe not.
Ha....I might make a few visits to my local leftie bookshop and purchase a copy.....make a few sarcastic comments....and leave the copy prominently displayed in the local community coffee shop...
Just wow. Is this a preemptive “anti-Obama” blitz so that in a month they can all unleash their real onslaught against Romney?
They are too reliably leftist (WHACKO leftist) for this to be anything but a cynical ploy.
Yah, I think this is a preemptive “fairness” strike. Still, we conservatives cannot have it both ways: either these are influential or not. If influential on sheeple, this WILL NOT go unnoticed.
This little tidbit caught my eye:
ccording to Ron Suskind’s book Confidence Men, Summers told Orszag over dinner in May 2009: “You know, Peter, we’re really home alone ... I mean it. We’re home alone. There’s no adult in charge. Clinton would never have made these mistakes [of indecisiveness on key economic issues].” On issue after issue, according to Suskind, Summers overruled the president. “You can’t just march in and make that argument and then have him make a decision,” Summers told Orszag, “because he doesn’t know what he’s deciding.” (I have heard similar things said off the record by key participants in the president’s interminable “seminar” on Afghanistan policy.)
Great question as to why. Who knows. Maybe someone is trying to spike circulation and are trying to save their relevancy. Regardless I especially LOVE the headline, “Hit the Road, Barack.”
I just wish they would have made the font size a little bigger!
Where this is going to get funny is when this issue sells more than any issue they put out in the last 12 years.
Just hit the drudgereport! It is there headline!
Can’t believe this is Newsweek!
Love it!
To kinda paraphrase Johnson when he discovered he had lost Cronkite: If rackie has lost newsweek, his ass is grass, and the electorate is the lawnmower.

It’s real
An excellent read, too.
Hmmm...a real mystery, isn’t it. There are only 150,000 dentists in the US, and many of them share an office.
No matter what, this article--and probably just the cover alone--is going to leave a mark!
I saw the cover on Facebook and assumed it was photoshopped. Is this for real?
