Barack Obama to write Newsweek cover story on Haiti
Posted on 01/14/2010 9:10:04 PM PST by mimi from mi
I don't believe I can post a link to Huffington Post, but click on their site and read the remarks to this latest revelation and see the magazine cover.
President Barack Obama will write the cover story for next week's Newsweek magazine.
The Wall Street Journal's Russell Adams reports that Newsweek editor Jon Meacham asked Obama's senior advisor if the President would write for the magazine, and he agreed.
The magazine will hit newsstands on Monday.
When Newsweek unveiled its redesign in May 2009, the magazine also turned to Obama; Meacham interviewed Obama for that issue.

Obama’s meme on Haiti has nothing to do with America and everything to do with the U.N. and NGOs.

A real president of the United States does not have the time to write a missive for a magazine. Something is wrong here!

Is it appropriate for a sitting President to write for a private publication? Why would he not just issue a statement that can be published by all news organizations?

Wow, finally a subject he's interested in.
He is attacking this issue with such enthusiasm because, like Bill Clinton, he wants a "disaster" to happen on his watch so he can look commanding during a time of misery.
His popularity will tick up here, but overseas it will soar.

Wow, finally a subject he's interested in. I don't think this is the subject that NEWSWEAK was planning on him 'writing' about. I think this was a counter to FOX hiring Sarah Palin, and was already in the works. Then the Haiti Earthquake happened, and .... the rest is (or will be) history.
And they will swear up and down that it was ONLY because of the Earthquake.

"barack obama to write Newsweek cover story on Haiti"
First of all, there was a mag back during the clinton era that we all decided should be cancelled, and someone posted that we should write to them requesting to "cancel my subscription", even if you DO NOT HAVE a subscription...just to make a point. Looks like we need to do that to Newsweek too.
Secondly, WHAT has obama done in the way of "research" for this article? I haven't heard about him ever going to Haiti, or evening mentioning Haiti before...so how is he all of a sudden such an expert on it?
Why is he trying to put Bush I and II, plus Bill Clinton into spearheading this rescue effort? I can't figure out if he's just too scared, or just plain LAZY...I'd opt for the latter, based on his other responses to crises.
Not only is he NOT a president, he's not even a man; he just refuses to step up to his responsibilites.
Well, I certainly won't buy the magazine, and when I see it on the stands I'll hide it upside down and backwards under "Boys Life" or some other unrelated mag. I usually do that with all the mags that feature his or Michelle's picture on the cover anyway. Something fun to do while buying groceries...what can I say.
Cancel your subscription to Newsweak [sic], whether you have one or not.

Go to your local bookstore, shake out the subscription litter cards and drop them back into the mail for processing. Send a message and help put that rag out of business.
