Newsweek magazine is well known for its' support of President Obama.
But a recent cover headline declares "God of All Things", superimposed on an image of the President with seven arms balancing on one leg. In each hand, he carries a different policy issue.
The magazine is subtitled, "Why the Modern Presidency May be too Much for One Person to Handle."
The image is reminiscent of depictions of the Hindu deity, Shiva.
Shiva is known as the destroyer of the world in the Hindu religion.
But the depiction has upset some in the Hindu community.
Fox News reports:
Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism in Nevada, told the English-language Sify News in India that Nataraja is highly revered and meant to be worshipped, not indecorously thrown around. Zed, who is known for his work on interfaith dialogue, said it is not OK to use Hindu concepts and symbols for profit or self-serving purposes.
The accompanying article is intended to show the job of President is so daunting, it is difficult for one man to do alone, but how that translates to "god of all things" is puzzling. Perhaps Newsweek is hinting at the 'need' for an even larger, more intrusive and tyrannical government. Remember, this is the magazine that declared, "We are all socialists now".
American Presidents are generally not depicted as deities, but history shows that dictators like Julius Caesar often required their subjects to worship them as a god.

Why is everyone so surprised by his incompetence? What made them think he was up to the job? After all, he did nothing before becoming president, other than write a self-centered autobiography proving he’s done nothing. Indeed, how many authors can you name who wrote their autobiography before they turned 40? His ego is the size of Texas and it’s tied to a brain the size of a walnut.
It certainly is too much for that one person to handle.
(snorted tea thru nose on that one)
Translation from the media hand book: if the guy is cluless and can’t do the job use this line.
“Why the Modern Presidency May be too Much for One Person to Handle.”
Yeah I’m sure they were salivating over Stalin
what a great administrator
how he drew Russia together from a bunch of little hamlets
how he turned a backward dirtscratch farming country into a military industrial complex
BY MURDERING AND STARVING MILLIONS OF HIS OWN PEOPLE AND RIPPING ANY SELF SUFFICIENCY FROM THEM
Russian never recovered.
LOL!
Let’s go back to 2009:
Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’
“There is just something evil about this. Can’t quite put my finger on it...”
Simple. It’s pure blasphemy.
I have serious doubts Obama can juggle more than one item. You have seen him throw a baseball, or golf, haven't you?
Newsweek?
Oh I remember, those are the “idiots” that ran a mag cover stating “We are all Socialist now”.
Seems like they were sold to Sydney Harman.
Hmmmmmmmm!
The term “anti-Christ” has several meanings, depending on the context.
One of those meanings is “instead of Christ”.
That’s what we’re seeing the left elevate 0bama and the government to.
That's what his supervisor said to him during his exit interview from Baskin-Robbins.
Uh...I hate to point this out...but...Shiva is the god of destruction...!
Yeah, but isn't he the one who said it, before Newsweeeeeeek?
Here's the original photo.

Newsweek cover depicts Obama as "god of all things""Godawful Thing"
There...it's fixed.
The left wants their president to do accomplish all their leftist goals through executive fiat because they are against the collective will of the American people.
It is for a central planner communist, but a capitalist like Bush knows to delegate. Central planning is the problem and pretending to be a god is the another.
Pray for America
