Unlike Newsweek, I Still Believe Obama is the President
That $1.00 that the husband of Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) paid for Newsweek? Most overpriced business transaction evaaaah:
I actually double-checked to make sure it wasn’t a parody; and at least according to Newsweek’s fellow JournoListas at the Politico, it’s legit.
The Red Dog Report blog notes the irony of the full text of the cover:
Proper use of snark takes a wee bit of intelligence.
The Making of a
Terrorist Coddling
Warmongering
Wall Street Loving
Socialistic
Godless
Muslim
President
*Who isn’t actually any of those things
So Newsweek is clearly saying that Obama is none of those things.
Therefore Obama is not President.
Did I miss something?
Do they believe he is disqualified because he was not born in the country? Or did he steal the nomination from Hillary? Is [it] a euphemism because they feel the Community Organizer is chief is unqualified? Is he really that bad? Is this article the straw that breaks the camel’s back in favor of English as the official language of the United States? Or at least the press.
Let’s ask Rick Sanchez of CNN, who would be crucified by our PC overlords for speaking in code if he said this on Fox:
Related:The SEIU apparently doesn’t know how to spell American. “I’m guessing that happens a lot with them.”
Update: Sanchez apologizes for his latest gaffe.
Rick may not realize that “cotton pickin’” is a pejorative. It expresses a complaint about the subject. Otherwise, I’m sure no one would have a problem with a very pale Hispanic guy using the expression in regard to a black man. Thankfully, in our post racial world that wouldn’t cross anyone’s mind.
It’s touching the tantrum Newsweek is throwing on behalf of Obama. Remember they did the same thing for Bush?? (Or maybe not):
9-11 Planner
Stupid/ignorant/evil genius
Oil-loving
Cowboy wearing
Christian Taliban Leader
AWOLer
Warmongering ChickenHawk
Fascist/Hitler
President
But yes! President Obama is the only President ever treated so badly! Poor guy, glad someone is coming to his defense.
Sold for a dollar…a DOLLAR!
I pay more for a single issue of a local tabloid that advertises used cars, second-hand lawn care equipment and quickie divorce attorneys.
One dollar…ONE dollar!
From here on out, that’s all that needs to be said to refute any slobbering half-wit who writes under that masthead.
Oh yeah. Way to justify that purchase price, Newsweak. Next time you’re sold, you’re gonna have to pay the fool that buys you the dollar.
A simple case of stupid syntax (checked and double-check by layer after layer of editorial staff). What do you expect for a buck, anyway?
They forgot “foreign-born”. (I wonder why they left that out? Did they think that was too ridiculous an accusation for even THEM to make fun of?)
These folks also forgot Rule Number One of teenage snark: don’t open yourself up to ridicule when you’re making fun of someone.
Finally, it proves (as if we needed confirmation) that the editors of Newsweek do not understand conservative thinking anywhere near as much as they think they do.

It shows that Newsweek doesn’t understand anything at all. $1 was too much for this piece of trash.
The hysteria and attempts at repression by the bankrupt liberal establishment are just going to get worse.
The big question is whether the Republicans are up to it — my guess is no. A lot of people are thinking of 1980. They were up to it in 1980, but not now.
Hey! Leave Yosemite Sanchez out of this!
The average Joe & Julie in the check out line at the market won’t read the article nor see the “*” at the bottom. They’ll read the headline and think, “huh I guess he is a (fill in the blank) since Newsweek says so.”
So in an unintentional way Newsweek just confirmed to millions that he is what they feared he was. That’s kinda funny.
Whoever coined the term “desperation is not an aphrodisiac” probably didn’t realize that one day, Newsweek would become a textbook proof of that principle.
Newsweek, he’s really not that into you.
Boy, $1 sure doesn’t buy much anymore.
Hey!!! When did the “star” replace the asterisk on keyboards and, obviously, type fonts?
Now we know what Eleanor Clift is actually worth.
JFH, C’mon – too easy: Why would the use of a red star cause anyone at NEWSWEEK to pause?
heh
So, Obama wasn’t made and that must mean he’s–she’s, it–is self made? A turkey baster baby? So who is that jive turkey in the White House really?
I can tell you this: HE AIN’T MY PRESIDENT. I didn’t vote for him. I don’t buy his BS. I don’t listen to him 99.9% of the time.
He’s a socialist, possibly even a communist. He’s most likely Islamic. He’s gutless, he cut and ran in Iraq and he will do it in Afghanistan as well, even though he has overwhelming superior firepower and military resources to crush the threat. He spends as much money as he can whenever he can. He’s the poster boy for Presidential incompetence. The man hasn’t a clue what he’s doing. For those reasons alone, I never use the term President when referring to Obama.
