Newsweek Calls Obama the 'First Gay President': Did the Magazine Go Too Far?

Well you obviously are not a Christian. Wright is a retired minister I believe in the United Church of Christ. Do you call Catholic priests haters? Do you just hate religious people in general or just the clergy? Shame you hate Jesus.

What makes you think I am a leach? I should be asking you that question. I mean using a woman's name as your ID? Are you a transexual? Are you in search of little horny boys?

By the way I am relatively well off. I live in a home that is worth a million dollars and I have liquid assets (stocks, cash, bonds) of almost 2 million. Not the best but far from being a leach.

If you want to know who is a leach, all you have to do is look at republicans. GW is now collecting big bucks and for what? for collapsing the economy. Clinton is also collecting big bucks but at least he put the country on the right course before you evil republicans knocked it off. Be proud of your association with Bin Laden. You both share the same goals. Destruction of the American middle class.

You are nothing but a liar, a communist, Demo-Rats like to kill babies, they know they can't defend themself. and they like Gays, which God destroyed two cities because they love homosexals. this is who you are.

Such an intelligent reply. lol By the way what did you think of your hero complimenting socialized medicine? :-)

I don;t have a hero. It is you dumb A who piss on themselves when they see Obama who have heroes like Obummer.

I wouldn't be spouting off about who is an idiot (correct spelling...not idoit) I am simply astonished that your comment got so many thumbs up! Who are you people and how to do you proceed in life with such ignorance?

I worked and do not want to have my tax dollars go to sorry men and women who will not work for a pay check. You all jut want to hold your lazy hands out and expect people who work to give to you. It is not the government money, IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO WORK NOT THE LAZY WHO FIND SOMEONE AS LAZY AS THEMSELF TO HAVE BABIES ABD DRAW CHECKS. SHAME ON YOU ALL.

lol, join the club. I don't want my tax dollars to go to feed an obsolete military complex. I also don't want to fund an idiotic war on drugs which is counter productive. Tell you what, end the war on drugs and cut the military industrial complex by 50% and I will push to end welfare for the poor. But I want to end welfare for the rich first.

I bet you are against abortion too and consider yourself to be a good christian? Am I correct? lol

What a Dumb A

What an intelligent statement. I think you answered my question. lol

The only reason you are not a slave is because we have a strong military.

lol, we may have a strong military but I believe it could be cut at least 40% and still be strong. In fact according to a retired military officer, it would be stronger. I don't believe in supporting waste. Apparently you do.

Who in the hell are you talking about? me? You know nothing about me.. I have worked and brought up 2 children practically on my own. Are you trying to say that I had my children so I could get a bigger check? Who do you think you are? Are you trying to say that in some way you are superior to me? My only hope is that people who read this will see just what a joke that is.

It would seem that you have a problem with hating whoever "you-all" is. It must be a race you are referring to and racists are the ultimate example of complete ignorance!!
ON TOP OF THAT....it had absolutely nothing to do with the comment I made.

As far as the cost of social services go, they are a drop in the bucket compared to many other deficit issues. If the rich paid some taxes, THAT in itself would take a big bite out of it. You want the poor to pay their fair share but you don't think the rich should do the same?

I am frankly simply amazed how easily today's republicans will kick their past leaders under the bus. I mean all these phony conservatives bitch about Obama and his health care plan. Don't they realize that he got it originally from Richard Nixon? I mean I am a democrat so Nixon was not my favorite president. But come on at least he was willing to work to improve the country, not just make the rich richer. I wonder how much Hillary will be willing to subsidize the very rich?

THE RICH PAY MOST OF THE TAXES YOU STUPID IDOIT. YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU A DUMB A PEOPLE OWE YOU. NOONE OWES YOU A DIME YOU BASTARD.

Lol, love it when incompetents have to resort to calling names. Keep it up. You are just verifying what a weak argument (actually no argument) you have.

So the rich pays most of the taxes. Won't be the case if Mitt gets in. But in any case the rich receives most of the benefits that society has to offer so they should pay the most taxes.

Why do you want to subsidize the rich?

I always knew Michelle Obama wore the pants in that family.

What do you expect from the liberal moron media outlets...

they are simply stupid

It wasn't blasphemy, it was saying he is like a god in the eyes of gay people. That's why the halo is a rainbow. The choice of words made it sound stupid, but I don't think their intention was to say that the president is actually gay

They should have included the info on his lifetime membership to some queer club in Chicago. Him and Rahm Emanuel both belong

Supporting a privact issue and constitutional right doe not imply sexual orientation

Hello gay people! You are being used!! If the poles were not as close as they are and if Obama's first term had gone better he would not have made this statement.

This statement in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, or 2016 means something. This statement in 2012 is a political calculation... period.

Pro-gay does not equal gay. What morons do they have running that magazine?

I would assume Republicans.

Liberals of course.

didn't go too far because Obama want someone to remember him by ....that's why he didn't do the real big job lately...

Yes, the cover went too far, not the article. It wasn't "risque". It was misleading, cheesy, exploitative and dopey, but not "risque". . I doubt the author of the article had much if any control over the cover selection. Newsweek covers seem to be getting more and more into shock value and trying to make people want to buy the mag just to see if there is something inside that really supports the cover. Like the National Enquirer covers that announce "woman gives birth to (choose one or more: alligator, space aliens, three headed turtle), Newsweeks more recent covers go for the shock reaction, hoping for the "I gotta buy this to see if its true".. Its also misleading because it implies that there is some support for saying he's actually "gay" when there is not. (except maybe to the aforementioned space aliens born to that woman in the Enquirer some thirty-five years ago). The article appeared to be sincere and emotional response from an openly gay writer for the mag who was moved by the president of the United States expressing his acknowledgement that gay and lesbian people are first and foremost, people, and moreover, people with hearts and emotions, values and patriotism, dedication and a desire to spend their lives with someone they love. The cover appeared to be a cheesy, misleading, and exploitative marketing gimmick to sell magazines.

Naaa... it is a cover - - designed to get your attention - - and designed then, to get you to buy a copy.

If Putting a Rainbow Halo on Obama sells copies of News Week... Go for it... Obama knew he would get some flack for his statement. It goes with the territory!

the media headlines are designed to draw attention, to sell more copies of news print. However once u read a story u will find out the real meaning of the headline.

I thought it was frigin hysterical! Now did Time, Yes in deed. That boy is screwed his whole life!

That is so rude and disrespectfull

This area will love him. San Diego will get a parade up for him in Hillcrest! I can hardly wait till he makes his entrance into the holiest of holies.

With the Black and Hispanic population being the MOST adverse to Gay, Lesbian, Bi or Transsexual marriage, perhaps that Halo may become Obama's "noose?"

Also he will loose Muslim & Catolic votes.

I can understand him loosing the Catholic vote, but WHY the Muslims, ELLE? That I don't think he would dare lose!

Not that many Catholic votes. None of my friends in the church are opposed. Hierarchy and conservative Catholics, yes, but they are not the whole church.

Yes, Catholics are more progressive now, with all these scandals with little boys.

Again, hierarchy.

Nope, they will all change their minds now to accept gay's in order to continue support for Lord Obama, the first "black" President and La Raza conspirator.
