Married, father of two, boasts several real and composite girlfriends during his college days.
No surprise that professional projectionist Andrew Sullivan wrote the tale. He saw a hero in Bush, until he didn’t, and turned on him viciously. Sullivan threw away support for the war — civilizational survival, as he has described when he supported the war — over the subject of gay marriage. Now Sullivan sees a daddy in Obama, because of the same issue. Sullivan is a one-issue, one-note scribe. His story is no surprise, and it’s no surprise that the world’s foremost researcher regarding the birth circumstances of Trig Palin gets front page, cover treatment on Newsweek, a magazine last valued at $1 — and overvalued at that. The cover and the magazine are perfect for each other.
There is, in short, nothing surprising about this story at all. The media is all in for Obama. Which they have been for more than four years. The Washington Post turned a dead man into a gay man to help Obama, why shouldn’t Newsweek turn a straight man into a gay man to help Obama?
Update: I guess Obama is the first gay socialist president.
My infallible Gaydar tells me Obama will become the first gay ex-President. He’ll dump Moochelle in a heartbeat once he’s not busy scamming everyone.
Wouldn’t you, the COW?
I hope that’s a giant condom about to lower down over the POTUS so we can practice safe politics through November.
Gotta hand it to Newsweek, they simply do not learn from their own fubars.
In 2010, a misplaced asterisk on the cover copy made it clear Obama was “a … President* … who isn’t actually any of those things.”
Newsweek makes him gay? I thought it was his dead murdered gay ex-lovers who did that!
I saw this and thought it was a joke. Hard to believe that even Newsweak would be this stupid. Here I am, wrong again, Newsweak is that stupid. Yes way to go to convice America they were duped, this is a married man who is a closet gay, yet another lie Obama lives. This will go over great in Montana and Missouri where Tester and Caskill are trying to hold on to their Senate seats… Thanks Sullivan for the inadvertant help out here in flyover country, not only in the Presidential race, but the down ticket races, too.
I hope the media continues to talk about it all the time.
I hope shows like The View gush about it everyday.
I hope Obama continues to attend glitzy fundraisers with his celebrity friends, while Romney focuses on the economy.
It will be like 1997 when Ellen came out on her show.
After that it was all gay all the time. It ruined what was once a funny amd popular show.
Even gay people were like “enough already”.
Obama is basking in the donations and the glory. Let him wallow in it.
He is doing more harm for gays than good.
This will turn more people off.
When this all began to play out this week, that’s exactly what I told my spousal unit. This will do more harm than good to gays, because it may well serve to defeat Obama. The polls are moving so fast in Romney’s direction I think that your average white male has finally jumped ship, and are going to be followed by a lot of their wives.
To Democrats, this actually appears to be a plus. After all, it has the endorsement of MiniTru. I know it makes things a little easier for me. I make my own political T-shirts [not for sale, just my own use]. The purpose being to make Leftist heads explode. All I have to do use make one with this cover.
Newsweek has created a new dictionary illustration for the concept of “own goal”. After all, not all voters are in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York.
Subotai Bahadur
How delusional can you get?
Newsweek actually thinks this makes Obama look good?
Why not go all out and have him shirtless with a dog collar and leather chaps.
What a joke–both the media and the president.
Hilarious. Absolutely thought this was a joke by some “evil Republican 527″ until I saw the cover.
Not sure why Obama’s approval means so much to Andrew Sullivan, clearly it does. Just my opinion, others have done more to broaden support for GLBTs. Rock Hudson. Ellen. Chaz Bono. Dick Cheney.
Obama will follow his usual habit of saying one thing and doing another. He’s going to sit on his hands on this issue. I’m too old to have pretend friends, gay or straight, and I wish the same for Andrew Sullivan. Reconsider that pedestal you’ve put the Preezy on.
The cover encapsulates everything corrupt with the MSM & President Obama all in one package. Irony.
Like 2008 when every other magazine cover had Obama, this will backfire in 2012. It’s not 2008 anymore…
It really isn’t 2008 anymore. Just for fun, I read the yahoo! news comments for this story- and wow, the young hope-and-changers are just not buying the BS any longer. They may support gay marriage, but they are sick to death of Obama’s hiding behind distractions like this, and QUITE tired of the MSM.
Moochelle has finally won the “dominator” role…
Makes perfect sense now!
– it could top the TIME cover this week. Newsweek not even that original; Milk years ago depicted in a painting as a saint with halo. So this is news. Now the economies of California and the country don’t matter anymore to Andrew, both of which he used to write about. “And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.”
Newsweek figures there’s no way Obama would lose the black vote, even by outing him. Interesting.
The layers of irony are too deep to fathom.
There is about a 75% chance that obama is gay, a 12% chance that he is asexual, a 12% chance that he is bisexual and a 1% chance that he is straight.
Don’t take by word for it. Read some gay bloggers.
Gee whiz. I thought “gay” meant “happy.” Is President Obama now the first happy President?
AAAAuuugh This isn’t funny! The MSM has taken all the fun out of photoshopping sarcastic humorous magazine covers
Consider:
- California Blacks, Latinos, Muslims, and Asians voted overwhelmingly in favor of Prop 8 (banning gay marriage).
- North Carolina overwhemingly reafirmed a ban on gay marriage just days ago.
- In fact, in every state it’s been put on the ballot, a ban on gay marriage has passed.
Yet, here comes Newsweek proclaiming Barack Obama is Gay.
Somewhere out there in some swing state, a crucial minority voter – who will cast the vote that decides this electtion – is staring at the Newsweek cover and thinking, “I didn’t know he was gay.”
I have thought for years that Andrew Sullivan has AIDS dementia. Back in the days when I read his blog, I even e-mailed him about it. I got an angry reply. It’s amazing that he still has a job but I guess the political left needs him so much they will put up with this stuff. Why, I can’t imagine. Maybe I’m wrong about who has dementia.
I guess this means that we need to turn to Mad Magazine for the hard news.
I honestly thought it was parody when I first heard about it, then I looked closer and there it was right at the bottom:
“By Andrew Sullivan”
My friends, that byline is the sure sign of quality first rate fantasy writing. Just seeing that byline I knew I had made a left turn directly into the fever swamp. Andrew Sullivan, who to this day can’t be sure who gave birth to Trig Palin, is now going to give us a lecture on the politics of decency.
And you know what’s really and truly sad? That the Democrats think this is the strong part of their argument.
Men like Sullivan prefer to think babies come from everywhere but where they do. It makes him feel like his fantasy world is real.
Next thing you know he’ll be the Grand Marshal of the SF Gay Pride Parade dressed like one of the Village People doing the samba with the Sisters of Perputual Indulgence.
Best comment ever. Thanks for the guffaw!
Either that or he’ll be riding two up on the back of Michelle’s Harley smiling and waving to the crowd with the Dikes on Bikes contingent.
Do you think it is possible we (the people) are being prepared for something?
In 2008 Calif passes Prop 8 defining marriage as between a man and woman, and it is my understanding the Black community strongly supported it.
Not Long ago there is this: “Van Jones: Even If ‘Obama Came Out As Gay’ He Would Not Lose Black Vote”
Then Joe Biden comes out “ahead” of the President and states he favors gay marriage.
Then the President does the same.
Then Newsweek pronounces Obama our First Gay President.
hhhmmmmmm
Obama’s going to marry Joe Biden?!?!??!?
This will be the first time I will actually buy that rag. The first time in a very long time. The fools thought they were helping their precious president pet but there will be plenty of people out there who will think Obama just came out of the closet. His bisexuality has been commented upon on a number of sites for a while now. How does he hope to keep that under wraps now that he has been “outed”? There will be millions who are not paying attention and will just see the headlines. And all I can do is choke with laughter at how poor lil’ Obama just got a big shaft from his pals at this relical rag. Thank you Go
Not that there’s anything wrong with Newspeak doing that.
You Are What You Eat..
What? No, the first Muslim President? The guy who started off his foreign policy swing by giving a speech in the world’s largest Jew-hating city, Cairo, Egypt? The man who extolled the virtues of a culture’s contributions to science that in fact stopped progress in its tracks? The culture Obama was going to hand-hold to near-Earth orbit so Muslims could claim their rightful legacy, the one that would need the Uncertainty Principle they never would conquer from Germany thanks to King Sobieski?
We need a sequel to World Police; this time the puppets fight Obama, Farrakhan, Wright and James Cone. But no, that would be a little too close to reality for a comedy. But at least they could bring Matt Damon, Garofalo, Penn, Robbins and his odious wife back from puppet death to be puppet zombies.
I liked what Mark Levin said today. Obama has already been declared the first woman president, so now he must be the first lesbian president. Hawt.
