First the angel Obama-el got his gay-lo from Newsweek, and now, in the creepy 2013 Inauguration issue, he’s the second coming.
Framing President Obama as our lord and savior isn’t surprising. We’re more shocked by the news that Newsweek still has covers after killing its print publication. But that doesn’t make it any less creepy and cult-like.

Hey, Newsweek knows its readers. (We think “readers” with an “s” is accurate, but our data may be stale.)
This is some creepy creepiness right here. RT @jstrevino No, Barack Obama isn't an object of a cult, why do you ask? http://t.co/7tORuohI

Good thing Newsweek had no credibility to lose! [Update: It’s kind of hilarious that Newsweek’s editors think this kind of trolling will result in increased readership.]
Newsweek is basically the Slipknot of journalism now. High shock value, really crappy content.

Anybody have a picture of Newsweek prior to Bush's second inauguration?

Glad you asked. Here’s Newsweek’s 2005 “Inaugural Issue”:
What, no cloven hooves?
