This is Newsweek's last cover before they go out of business...and they were always one of the most liberal periodicals.
WOW! Newsweek COVER!!! It is their last cover before they fold. Also read the article at the end.
Wonderful article!!
AMAZING!!! The Cover of Liberal Newsweek Magazine:
Finally, Matt Patterson and Newsweek speak out about Obama. This is timely and tough. As many of you know, Newsweek has a reputation for being extremely liberal. The fact that their editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama and the one that appears in the latest Newsweek, makes this a truly amazing event, and a news story in and of itself. At last, the truth about our President and his agenda are starting to trickle through the protective wall built around him by the liberal media....
I Too Have Become Disillusioned
By Matt Patterson (Newsweek Columnist - Opinion Writer)
Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job?
Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League, despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer;" a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, less often did he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.
He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's "spiritual mentor;" a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?
Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were 'a bit' extreme, he was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass - held to a lower standard because of the color of his skin.
Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) "non-threatening," all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?
Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon - affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.
Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin - that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is.
And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.
What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people - conservatives included - ought now to be deeply embarrassed.
The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that's when he has his Teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth - it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years. (An example is his 2012 campaign speeches which are almost word for word his 2008 speeches)
And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. Remember, he wanted the job, campaigned for the task. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerless-ness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. (The other day he actually came out and said no one could have done anything to get our economy and country back on track). But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?
In short: our president is a small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such an impostor in the Oval Office

NEWSWEEKS LAST COVER STORY
TEMPLE MOUNT NEWS
THE ORIGINAL HISTORY OF THE SALE OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT PROPERTY TO THE JEWS IS FOUND IN 1 CHRONICLES 21:7-30 . . EVEN THE PRICE PAID!
Interesting happenings on the Temple Mount . . .
Israeli Jews continue crusade to regain the Temple Mount
Jewish activists want to pray on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, raising fury in Muslim world, A small but growing movement of Jews demanding the right to pray at the site of their destroyed temple is creating a potentially explosive clash with the Muslims, who considers the spot Islamic and ban Jews from public worship there.
Temple Institute Each week, hundreds of Jews ascend the creaky wooden ramp built above the Western Wall and enter what is often called the most contested real estate on Earth. Many then embark upon a game of hide-and-seek with their police escorts — whispering forbidden prayers while pretending to talk into cellphones, and getting in quick but banned bows by dropping coins and then bending to pick them up.
Their proposals, long dismissed as extremist, are now being debated in the Israeli parliament and embraced by an expansionist wing in the ruling coalition government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The numbers of Jews ascending the Temple Mount in accordance with Jewish law, has been steadily increasing and in recent months we have seen these numbers reaching a critical mass. Yet in spite of the increased presence of Jews on the Temple Mount, which has forced the issue of Jewish rights on the Temple Mount, (and Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount), to front and center in the media, (both national and international), and public discourse, the police continue to enforce draconian measures forbidding Jews from any expression of faith on the Temple Mount. This is in spite of the fact that Jewish freedom of worship on the Temple Mount is guaranteed by Israeli law.
Temple Mount activists decided to put an end to this intolerable situation and performed a premeditated act of Jewish worship on the Temple Mount. In addition, the group of thirteen Jews unfurled an Israeli flag that they succeeded in “smuggling” onto the Mount, and sang Hatikva, the national anthem of the state of Israel. For all this the thirteen were promptly arrested by the police.
Temple Mount activists plan to continue and step up their prayer activity on the Mount with the intention of establishing a new norm on the Mount that sanctions freedom of worship for all in this holy place.
In response, Muslims are crying foul and threatening violence, as they continue their attempt to drive a wedge between the Jews and the Temple Mount. The threat of Arab violence is no doubt the main reason behind the police hostility toward Jewish prayer and presence on the Temple Mount , as they find it easier to harass a relatively small number of Jews than to curb the violence of a large number of Arabs.
But enforcing the law, guaranteeing citizens their rights and punishing those who seek to deprive others of their rights is, in fact, the task of the police, a fact that they will have to get used to as the number and nerve of Jews ascending the Temple Mount continue to rise.
We see this development as a major step forward in our battle to reclaim our Jewish rights on the Temple Mount, the reinstitution of Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount, and ultimately, the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, may we accomplish this soon in our day!
