Whoa: Newsweek’s Latest Cover May Surprise You

Now, we all know Newsweek isn’t shy when it comes to controversial cover photos and headline stories. Indeed, on more than a few occasions, Newsweek Editor Tina Brown has had to defend the magazine’s less-than-flattering photos and oftentimes incendiary articles.
Everyone’s also familiar with the publication’s left-leaning tendencies, right? Right.
Well, that’s precisely why Newsweek’s latest cover may surprise you:
Whoa. Well, that‘s certainly a departure from the type of headline stories and cover photos we’ve grown accustomed to:
“Why Are Obama’s Critics so Dumb?”
“George Bush: Fighting the Wimp Factor”
Newsweek’s latest cover story comes from none other than noted historian Niall Ferguson. The article, titled “Hit the Road, Barack,” argues that President Obama has proven that he‘s an economic illiterate and that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan’s “path to prosperity is our only hope.”
“Unemployment was supposed to be 6 percent by now. It has averaged 8.2 percent this year so far. Meanwhile real median annual household income has dropped more than 5 percent since June 2009. Nearly 110 million individuals received a welfare benefit in 2011, mostly Medicaid or food stamps,” writes Ferguson.
“Welcome to Obama’s America,” he adds.
“America under this president is a superpower in retreat, if not retirement. Small wonder 46 percent of Americans — and 63 percent of Chinese — believe that China already has replaced the U.S. as the world’s leading superpower or eventually will.”
Ferguson makes the case that the alternative to President Obama’s “Hopenchange” machine, though not the strongest he has ever seen, is infinitely preferable for the health of the U.S. economy:
Mitt Romney is not the best candidate for the presidency I can imagine. But he was clearly the best of the Republican contenders for the nomination. He brings to the presidency precisely the kind of experience — both in the business world and in executive office — that Barack Obama manifestly lacked four years ago. (If only Obama had worked at Bain Capital for a few years, instead of as a community organizer in Chicago, he might understand exactly why the private sector is not “doing fine” right now.)
“And by picking Ryan as his running mate, Romney has given the first real sign that—unlike Obama—he is a courageous leader who will not duck the challenges America faces,” Ferguson adds.

Posted on August 19, 2012 at 7:43pm@KickBack- Niall is one of the few well-educated (interpenetrated as- “deserves to be heard” to by the pompous elite), truly on point economic historians in the world. He’s not quite Friedman, but he‘s as close a modern day version you’ll find. That man will always have work. I was shocked at the title, then I saw the author… I am however surprised Newsweek printed it, and at the same time not to find one of their regular contributors did not author it.
Telling that they had to outsource a cover story for such a contrarian perspective to their usual tripe.

Posted on August 19, 2012 at 8:37pmNah! You’ve got it wrong. This is what happens when the leftist candidate is too hot and doesn’t have a chance to win. They get a guy they want to run on the other side (Romney, their hand-picked guy – and BTW Ryan is all for show to sucker the true conservatives) and then they use vehicles like Newsweek to push their other candidate or to bad mouth the other guy. They’ve already been doing this in subtle ways over the last year – bashing Obama here and there. Keep watching, you‘ll see more of it although they’ll still disparage the right-wing candidate just enough to keep up appearances.

Posted on August 19, 2012 at 9:13pmNah … I don’t think the Republicans have taken over Newsweek … you see … it’s designed to get conservatives to go “Hey look they got it right” … then when you read the article you find out it’s a tome on why the cover is wrong … and how the “right wingnuts” are saying what the cover says but that they are too stupid to see why it’s important to keep the messiah in place. It just a damn stupid trick by the airheads to get conservatives to buy this rag of a magazine.

If so, perhaps Niall‘s been doing his homework and went to see Dinesh D’Souza’s movie “2016: Obama’s America“ and read ”Obama’s America”. Dinesh does a great job of giving well researched details of Obama’s childhood, family, mentors, and his anti-colonialist views about America.
It‘s time for America to realize they elected a president who doesn’t have America’s best interest at heart. Romney/Ryan 2012!!!

The women’s forum is feeling pretty good .. the thing that I am finding interesting is the opposition … on Friday a billboard went up . this is how it was found this morning … I think the OPPOSTION is getting desperate .. before and after .. from Friday to Sunday … they are offering a reward , replacing the sign .. and going to put up MORE.

Posted on August 19, 2012 at 8:50pmOMG, I’m lovin it. Can‘t say that the American people aren’t fighting hard to get our country back. Don’t you just love the Newsweek cover. Just had a call from friends that were smiling ear to ear about the Ryan pick. We remembered being at the Villages a couples of years back to see Glenn Beck. Love watching America loving faces. Thanks for the info, stay well.
