yeah I don't like that newsweek cover at all.

First off, I'm sure Michelle Obama would disagree that her husband is gay and second of all... even if Obama was gay he would not be the first gay president ever. There have already been some closeted gay presidents in the past.

Exactly - I'm not into these "figurtive" headlines. If the guy is not gay, then why put that on the cover? And I don't even agree with this guy hardly at all - but it's not right.

You bring up a good point that it's not even verifiable. Rumor is that the only unmarried president - James Buchanan - MIGHT have been gay. We'll never know.

Wasn't Clinton the first black President? I remember reading that somewhere.

This is almost as bad as the Time cover. Print media should just go away quietly.

you beat me to it...this reminds me of that. obviously obama isn't gay, but he is definitely a first in that office insofar as homosexual rights are concerned.

Joey, your first mistake was using the word "Journalism" and "Newsweek" in the same sentence. An oxymoron to the nth degree.

Yeah. She's already better than 99% of the jocks riding.

Riding is good for kids, it teaches them balance, strength, empathy, responsibility, partnership, kindness. She needs her lead-line lessons

Does This Risque Obama Cartoon Cross The Line?
