New Yorker Magazine Cover: White House With Rainbow Columns

The media's victory lap for President Obama's flipflop on same-sex marriage is starting to get downright disgraceful.

The cover of Monday's issue of New Yorker magazine features an animated picture of the White House with rainbow columns:

As NewsBusters reported earlier, Newsweek's Monday issue features a picture of Obama with a rainbow halo over his head with the headline "The First Gay President."

What's next?

This is so gonna' backfire.

For one. Who cares...?
Gay marriage is not exactly a dinner table issue.
People are working two jobs and are struggling to pay their bill and this is what Obama has to offer them?
Gay Marriage....?

All this does is illustrate how weak and ineffective this president is.
It is practically a dereliction of duty.
If the state run media thinks that somehow America is cheering for gay marriage while millions are out of work then they won't know what hit them on election day.

Is he pushin' for a Constitutional Ammendment?? Is he pushin' for federal power over gay marriage (unless it's on page 2669 of the ObamaCare fatwah.)??? Is gay marriage going to be part of the Democrat platform?? The answers would be 'no', 'no', and 'hell no'...............................he's just pandering for votes and money.

In fact, he just got a boatload of money out of gay Hollywood - and they still don't know that they've been scammed.

It was a risky move as well. I'm simply saying it does not bother me that certain people are excited they have a President that agrees with them

The road to hell is well known and the NY magazine's depiction of the peoples house is an ad waiting to remind those who have heard, oh there is no agenda, really. Let us who disagree begin to tell truth. Remember what Truman said, I tell the truth and it sounds like hell.

If the media things this has energized THE ZERO's base, they just lit the conservative's bright light of truth, and it shall overcome.

Obama and the media are in sync!

Submitted by cbeyer on Sun, 05/13/2012 - 8:41pm.

You have to give the Obama campaign a lot of credit. Whether it is creating the phony issue of republicans denying women's right to purchase and use contraceptives or now gay marriage, Obama and his sycophants in the main stream media continue to divert attention from the disastrous American economy. Any number of polls show that jobs, the economy, the housing disaster, and energy prices are by far and away the leading concerns of the American public. Yet, the media continues to trot out all these other issues to avoid discussion of the overwhelming failure of the Obama administration to have a viable economic policy. Our economy is in crisis.

I seriously doubt the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs are sitting around discussing gay marriage, whether the government should provide free contraceptives to women or any of the other topics the media seems obsessed with.

As long as we fail to have a debate about the disastrous failure this administration has been in the area of the economy, Obama will likely be elected. His reelection team knows it and so does the left leaning (in the tank for Obama) media.

America's First Gay President

Submitted by berlet98 on Mon, 05/14/2012 - 3:03am.

America's First Gay President

We already knew Barack Hussein Obama was America’s first semi-black president. Now, according to Newsweek, he is apparently also our first gay president!

I don’t know whether the editors at the magazine were trying to out our commander-in-chief as a homosexual or whether Michelle Obama was aware all these years that her hubby had been living in a closet.

When the editors featured the president on the cover of their latest edition with his head crowned with a multi-colored halo, they may have been figuratively crowning him with the title of King of America’s gay community as an adjunct to his already well-earned titles of Nobel Peace Prize Winner, “the Anointed One,” “Master of the Universe,” etc.

Unless it’s related to the president’s sudden, truly-miraculous, election-year evolution from being an adversary of same-sex marriage to finally comprehending the moraI and legal rightness of men marrying other men and women wedding other women, I really don’t grasp the editorial rationale of declaring Obama “The First Gay President.”

Perhaps if I read the leftist rag that is Newsweek, I’d comprehend more.

I do know that the rainbow halo is a nice touch beautifully complementing all the other halos superimposed on his head by his mainstream media over the last four years. . .
