I’ll bet you it’s Fox News that’s been complaining about Sarah Palin’s Newsweek cover photo — they are quick to call foul when they feel mags are treating her unfairly, like the US Weekly bruhaha over the Sarah Palin cover mess.
Comparing Newsweek’s Sarah Palin cover photo to Barack Obama’s Newsweek cover photo, Obama’s is wonderful and ethereal like. But it’s a credit to Sarah Palin to show that she really looks good close-up too — and I’ve certainly been placing that Newsweek cover of Gov. Palin on top of a mag on top of another mag on my coffee table — in a big effort to hide that Halle-Berry-look-at-me-I’m-still-sexy-after-having-a-baby-Esquire-cover from my husband.
So here’s the Sarah Palin Newsweek cover photo picture that’s causing the hubbub. (Click to enlarge the Palin Newsweek cover photo, or just peer at it below.)
Here’s a close-up scan of the Newsweek cover photo of Governor Sarah Palin:
So what do you think of the Newsweek Sarah Palin cover photo?
Fair or unfair?
Real or harsh compared to Barack Obama’s Newsweek cover photo?
Let us know how you feel…

has anybody stopped to notice that sarah palin’s glasses have only glass in them - not real lenses? how shallow can you get?
October 8th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Absolutely unfair. The title on the front cover is even more offensive. Liberals and the left wing media clearly believe they are intellectually superior to everyone else as the cover demonstrates.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
No. No. No. We’re just saying we’re smarter that Palin.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Smarter? Right. That’s why she’s where she is and you’re where you are.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Where is she, exactly?
October 8th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
The fact that she’s dangerously close to becoming VP (or worse, President)is poor evidence of her merit or her worth. After all, Bush was elected into that office TWICE!
October 8th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
And we’re also smarter than Bush.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Is that a light from our heavenly Father cast down upon our savior Barack?
October 8th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Oh don’t be a flippin’ idiot! It’s a cover for the love of mud. I disklike Palin, but my first reaction was, “Oh she’s older than she looks. Well that’s actually comforting! I want some signs of experience in my Vice President.” Newsweek did her a huge service by NOT covering up the wrinkles! We don’t want a 20 year old beauty queen for a VP–we want someone who’s done some living. I say well-done Newsweek!
October 8th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
I know Barack’s awesome, Jimbo, but he’s just a man.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
When will Barack walk on water? Oh yes, he was photographed just yesterday walking on Lake Michigan.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Non-issue!!
October 8th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
If you watch Fox news’ coverage of this ‘controversy’, it’s completely ridiculous. They go so far as to say that it’s an insult to women… now that was not my first reaction. I didn’t even consider it until they mentioned it! Newsweek, in my opinion, was certainly not intending to portray themselves as elitist liberals, something else Fox suggested. I think by showing Palin this way they show that she’s a real woman, not a mannequin McCain picked randomly.
While I wish someone a bit more qualified had been chosen, kudos to Sarah Palin. Whoever wins, now, this presidency will be unprecedented.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
And for the life of us we can’t figure out why there’s a war in the Middle East and why can’t get along when a bunch of idiots are arguing over some freaking wrinkles on a magazine cover. I don’t care if they put a bag over either one of their heads - I’m more worried about the economy, the cost of gas, the cost of groceries, lack of health care for so many people and all the money that’s being lost in my pension so that I’ll never be able to retire after working all these years. That’s what I’m worried about, not wrinkles and touchups.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
News Week Magazine…….ho-hum…What a shame as this magazine used to be my favorite subscription…well…guess what…no more.. Sarah Palin is “AWESOME” and so is MCCain…
BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE “AMERICA’s Interest at heart..he is a BITTER—BOY that needs to search is “IDENTITY” first then consider fixing the USA , then….all his other favorite countries….(islamic radicals). Sarah Palin is “beautiful” inside and out—BUT if you want to see “”" U G L Y “”" look at “Hussien’s “SIDE-KICK” Michelle (or is it Michael?????)and his girls….. oh my… Newsweek sucks!!!!!! Maybe you could try to get your magazine published in the Middle East since you all seem to be “anti-American” GO McCain & Palin #1
October 8th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
susan you are ascarin’ me girl. his little girls are cute, yo!
October 8th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
all you jerks who think that obama is the one– yeah he is the one to try to bring America down to the same level as some of the radical muslims…. and if you have children and grand children…you can introduce them to slavery and bowing down to allah….. this is what he really wants and some Americans are so stupid to see what they have in store for you. Good luck with the Anti-Christ , dictator, and the end of your freedom… you will be just like the other countries….thank yourself for screwing your children!!!
If you love America and Love Freedom- VOTE_ MCCAIN/PALIN
October 8th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
susan
barack o’s girls are cute.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Wow…Palin’s beauty far surpasses that of Obama’s!
October 8th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
OHHHHHH….SARAHCUDA— THEY ARE SOOOOOOOO JEALOUS OF YOUR GOOD LOOKS AND PERSONALITY AND YOUR BIG SMILE. TOO BAD MRS. OBAMA HUSSIEN CAN’T SMILE AT ALL..
HEY- DUMB-DUMBS– GOOGLE “MICHELE’S THESIS…. SURE DOES REFLECT HER TRUE PERSONALITY…….. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE OBAMA’S THESIS…WHY IS IT SOOOO SECRET… HE IS AN UNDERGROUND TERRORIST- DON’T BE FOOLED BY HIS “JIVE-TALKIN’ WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING FOR THE FUTURE- ONLY THE PAST. WE ALL KNOW THAT MC CAIN IS NOT THE SAME AS BUSH-
BUT….I WONDER– IS OBAMA THE SAME AS AYERS, WRIGHT, AND THE REST OF HIS QUESTIONABLE GANG… WAKE UP AMERICA AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO REGISTER AND VOTE MCCAIN. ALSO, CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TOP newsweek.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
susan, sarah has a chive in her teeth, sweetie.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
HEY JIMBO - WHAT DO YOU KNOW? Obama scares this country….except for those of his own. He has yet to give us his plan…all he can say is no more bush……Maybe Obama is really “wilma” and michelle is “mikey”
READ THE BIBLE——
October 8th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
which bible? the one with them there serpents?
October 8th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
wipe that religion off yer sleeve and practice yer religion quietly like yer Jesus said.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
susan, where art thou? frolicking in the garden of eden?
October 8th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Susan - Look on your kitchen counter. There’s a plastic container with “S-M-TU-W-TH-F-SA” printed on it. Open “W” and take the pills inside. Thank You.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Susan…come out, come out, where ever you are.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
It is amazing to me that many of your comments are personal attacks rather than stating true opinions on the political race at hand. Both parties have their own ideas about how they can best run this country.
To talk about Obama’s wife and children is low, just as discussing Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy. Show me a perfect family in America and I will give them the floor to discuss all of our flaws. Susan, show me a person with true beauty that is universal the world over (I know it can be difficult to think past our borders), and they can point out so called physical imperfections.
It will be refreshing when we can return to conversations about campaign issues and not speculations and ramblings of narrow minded people.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Susan,
It is so interesting to me that you tell us to look at our Bible when you obviously are not doing the same.
Proverbs 15:2(NIV) says, “The tongues of wise people use knowledge well. But the mouths of foolish people pour out foolish words.”
James 2:8 (IS) “Nevertheless, you are doing the right thing if you obey the royal law in keeping with the Scripture, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment….instead, it should be that of your inner beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of Great Worth in God’s sight.” I Peter 3:3-4 (NIV).
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30 (NIV).
October 8th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Wow there are some remarkably scary and stupid people in this country.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
The cover is a disservice. Where’d they get the photographer and what did they do? Click 3 pics on ultra zoom then use the crappiest? Why is her face cut off? Yes, it’s mean of them but no surprise. Hmmm… Obama in black and white with a glowy little halo. Perhaps they are depicting what they see afterall. She’s in-your-face, rather unforgettable and larger than life. He’s simple, mysterious in the fact we have no idea who he really is or what he is all about, and he has that nice little sunbeam shining down because he is the savior of the universe. He is not all black and white though. Plenty of Muslim blood running through those veins and he doesn’t think very highly of America. Perfect criteria for the next president and his campaign is probably funded by Al Qaeda. I can’t wait for him to have the key to all the secrets our nation holds. I’m overwhelmed with warm fuzzies and tingly to my toes. Just seeing him on tv brings proud tears to my eyes. I want his autograph and if I see him in real life I will fall out and faint because… because…oh, I just can’t beLIEVE I get to vote the first black muslim white guy with terrorists ties into office. Like, oh muh god!
October 8th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
oh man, genius tw, genius. You nailed that on the head. It makes me nauseated but I am dying laughing. By the way, for a close-up of that magnitude I’m impressed. Palin is intelligent and damn hot without airbrush.
October 8th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Obama does not care about anything except to make history to be the first negro president. Plain and simple. He knows nothing and has done nothing privately or publicly. I’m yet to hear of anything he has accomplished. 11 He has plenty of people buffaloed. 22 I can see right through him. He is a very dangerous and dishonest man with many friends to back up his ideals. 63 He talks real pretty but says nothing. What happened to our Constitution? Our so called government is tearing it up before our very eyes. If Obama wins this election, it could happen, God help us all.
October 9th, 2008 at 4:43 am
Jesus was a radical Jew who went out on his own to preach LOVE LOVE LOVE. Right wing Christians like Susan are NOT followers of Jesus, NOT TRUE Christians. Therefore, Sarah Palin with her lies inciting fear and anger towards Obama is actually the woman arrayed in purple in Revelations-she is the helper to the Antichrist who fools all the Christians who preach hate. These are the false Christians. If McCain/Palin should win- watch and see if she wears purple during inauguration.
The people who will go to heaven are the TRUE CHRISTIANS and disciples of Jesus- those who preach love, not hate. Those who do not follow the words of hate coming out of the mouths of the antichrist’s assistants. Obama is more of a Christian than Palin will ever be.
October 9th, 2008 at 5:27 am
It is actually the woman arrayed in purple and scarlet (red seems to be Palin’s favorite color) In Revelations, this woman will live in a city with seven mountains.
Wasilla is right outside of Anchorage, a city with seven mountains called “The Seven Sisters.” Coincidence?
If right wing False Christians want to play the Bible ticket, I think anyone can find passages in the Bible that will point to Palin being part of the antichrist.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Ok, so maybe some of us are just as stupid as Palin and Bush. Sadly, I overestimated the populace….
October 9th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Plus, if we’re talking about looks, what about that creepy way that McCain smiles and laughs…it’s terrifying. And his wife talks like a 12 year old spoiled child. Very unattractive. Remember, since we’re launching personal insults, that SOME people find substance and intellect attractive.
October 9th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Ruth its always tempting to asume we would know when the “end” times are coming. However, I am pretty sure that the almighty isn’t going to let us all in on it. As for Palin’s Pic, I would have to assume she knew what she was getting into- As a matter of fact,I think she is actually pretty smart for doing it. The big “BAD LIBERAL” magazine picking on The “DUMB” ole conservative “JOE SIX PACK” again!! worked like a charm I would say…
October 9th, 2008 at 11:33 am
PLEASE! Sarah Palin looked great on that cover! I can’t believe anyone would think she looked unattractive.
Or is everyone so bamboozled by the (paedophilic) modelling industry, with their 88 lb 14 year old waifs, that you can’t find a real woman over 30 beautiful?
Sarah even looks about 10 years younger than her age, in spite of having a real life, with snowmobilig, skiing, and other outdoor sports! THAT is what appeals to bothe women and men, much more than a woman who had been made perfect by either airbrushing the photo, plastic surgery, or incessant, obsessive care of her skin since puberty.
October 9th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Now that picture of Obama is unflattering - it exaggerates his large features and smallish head by erasing mopst of his head with that light burst, and gives an awgul lot of prominence to his ears!
October 9th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
The wacko right says that the cover photo of Newsweek October 8, 2008 edition is biased against Sarah Palin. WHAT? I guess when you have nothing to run on you have to make up offenses to get news. The problem they say, is the photo is untouched and not airbrushed so every flaw of Sarah Palin is shown. Really? When I first saw the photo, I didn’t see these flaws, maybe because I wasn’t looking for them? I saw a beautiful woman. Now, I confess, I am an unrepentant liberal. I would never vote for Sarah Palin. Not because she has hair on her face, but because I don’t agree with her. Given the reaction to the photo by the reactionaries one can assume they have never seen a Richard Avedon photo. Oh, they usually ran in The New Yorker, a journal not known for its conservative articles. Many “liberals” have had every physcial defect on full display in The New Yorker in the many Richard Avedon photos. I don’t recall anyone saying The New Yorker had a left bias because of those photos. Perhaps that was the clue I missed that The New Yorker was a leftist rag?
October 9th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Chris, creepy would be Michelle Obama who looks like comedian Flip Wilson, not as the female character he played called Geraldine, but FLIP. She is an angry black woman who has trouble just keeping her lips down over her horsey teeth and she always looks really pissed. She is not a woman I can imagine as First Lady regardless of skin color. It’s her entire demeanor and she’s gross ugly. Cindy McCain is hot, classy, and knows when to be quiet. She’s a real lady. McCain did good.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
And Ruth, yeah. I could feel the love in those sermons preached by Jeremiah Wright. Love = truth and there is no connection there with Barack Obama. I see you are another one he has managed to convince he’s the prince of light, love and truth when in fact he is guilty of so many lies and fact diversions it is unfathomable. You’re getting all preachy here as if you know something about something and want to be the judge of people’s salvation. (”more Christan than”) Real good, Ruth.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Well, apparently he didn’t feel he did so well the first time. That’s why he left his disfigured wife for Cindy. I thought marriage was for better or for worse and sickness and in health…..just like a Republican to make the rules up as they go along. However, only use the bible when it’s convenient. That is just sad. I really feel sorry for his first wife.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Also, I happen to be a black woman, wife and mother, I think Michelle Obama is a great wife and mother. When we get someone positive that is of color why must some of us try to tear that down? There are bad people all over. I say if you are black, don’t vote for the man because of that you vote for him where he stands on the issues. If that were the reason in voting for him it would be just as wrong as those NOT voting for him because he’s black. It’s funny how we face racism on a daily basis but we always take the higher road.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Hey Chris and Jake, I take it you two must be the “Joe 6-packs” of this group…..so small and shallow!
People like you are the reason we still have hatred in the world today. Go get a life, please! You two and any others spewing negativity need prayer! I am not saying this because you support McCain; I am saying this because you apparently have hatred in your heart.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I don’t understand the issue. It’s a lovely picture. She is a gorgeous woman with artfully applied makeup. Let me just say, a closeup of most women would not be as flattering. What is wrong with people? The only thing this woman has is her looks, celebrate it! She surely doesn’t READ Newsweek. Let her have her pageants and her shout outs and her aerial wolf hunting. How about a stint on Dancing with the Stars? It appears the limelight is all she is in it for anyway, she is surely not prepared for a political run. Back to Alaska with her! She can come back and try again in 4 years, that will give her plenty of time to memorize those notecards and read “anything and everything…” to be just a pich more impressive next time. You betcha.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
josef stalin for prez. barney frank for veep. chris dodd for treasurer.
October 9th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
mm, The negativity continually spews primarily from Barack Obama as he never ceases to point out only the wrong in this country rather than the goodness herein. America has assisted almost every needy country in this world with humanitarian aid on a grand scale, and we should. I make no apologies for my doubts regarding Obama because in far too many ways he is obviously anti-American and pro-Socialism. Palin called digging in the pockets of the rich “redistribution” while Biden referred to it as “fair”. The only fair I know of in life has cotton candy and ferris wheels. I define Obama’s “redistribution” for the word it actually is: theft. The American Dream is based around the hope that one can be ambitious, inventive, studious, hard-working, motivated and probably excel in this country. Socialism stifles ingenuity and creativity. Robin Hood was not noble for stealing from the rich to help the poor. It was a grand notion in the story but his means were terribly misguided. So are Barack Obama’s.
October 9th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
true that tw! can i live in your utopia?
October 9th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Let’s face it, Palin can not string two coherent thoughts together to make a grammatically correct sentence. I think she loses her place, in her train of thought, of the rote phrases that she has memorized and when she tries to think on her feet, she flounders. It was a very scary idea for McCain to have even thought to have heron the same ticket as him. She’s got a good look, plucky, but she certainly does not represent me as a woman. Send her back to the 50’s. Should I even think to start hiding my personal items now? Anything else, birth control information, sex educational pamphlets, HISTORY books, (real history, not creationism)actual complete rape kits, shall I go on? Please, this woman is the poster child for the dark ages and massive control issues. Alaska is NOT blocking the investigation into her dealings in her home state. Do we really need someone like her? All I can say is VOTE!
October 9th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Have any of you noticed the financial crisis that we are facing today? Not to mention the Iraq war and the vets who are not receiving the proper medical (physical, mental, and emotional) attention they deserve? Or the fact that so many people are without health insurance? Or all the other problems that face us both nationally and internationally today? We need to come together as a nation to overcome these issues, not complain about bad headlines or wrinkles. Get over yourselves.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:19 am
liz, liz, You said a whole lot without saying much of anything (like Obama) and conclude with “All I can say is VOTE!” which sounds like something Palin would end a stump speech with. You are correct, she does not represent women like you and doesn’t intend to. As for hiding your personal items what the hell are you even talking about with your bizarre rant of hiding history books and rape kits? Exactly how many rape kits do you need to hide and “shall I go on”? You mean off? Don’t worry lizzy. You will still be able to get as many abortions as you need for everytime you are raped while reading a real history book. Since your party believes abortion IS birth control, that a baby is not a baby until it can apply for food stamps and Obama has no qualms about throwing gurgling fetuses in a laundry bin, vote him in and you’ll be just fine. Palin can see Russia from her house. Can you see the psychiatric unit from yours? “All I can say is VOTE!” *heh*
October 10th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Sara Palin is clearly very qualified to run along side John McCain on the Presidential ticket. Our History clearly shows less qualified candidates AS OUR PRESIDENT (Ronald Reagan - an actor)…and he didn’t do that bad of a job in the end.
It is a shame that young people cannot see the horror that Obama would bring to this country. I say “NOBAMA”
Beauty and brains is a rare combination and Palin is blessed to have both! It is a shame that so many news shows are slighting McCain/Palin - they are clearly the best choice for our country.
We are at WAR with the country that Obama’s grandparents are from…I know that after Pearl Harbor we would not have elected an American decendant from Japan for AT LEAST 20 yrs. after that incident…what are people thinking? Obama is clearly linked to several controversial figures and some people are going to trust our country to him? It would be a disaster that all of America’s secrets be exposed to the rest of the world by electing a man who has NOT lived his whole life in the USA.
THINK PEOPLE!!!!
October 10th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Palin’s photo is beautiful. She looks vivacious and engaging.
I am baffled by the complaint and the comments here.
As photos go, the cover of Obama is the most unflattering shot of him I’ve seen.
From a merchandising standpoint, assuming sides/issues were unknown, I’d be more likely to purchase and read the issue with the full-color, close-up photo as opposed to the washed-out, b&w image.
Why isn’t Obama’s camp complaining? (Or did they? Should they have?)
Why is Palin’s?
I seriously don’t get this. It is indeed a non-issue.
October 10th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
If Palin’s such a “real” person, she would have wrinkles and not expect a team of cosmeticians/artists to touch them up. Isn’t that the kind of thing they do in the Hollywood she so despises?
October 10th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
I fail to see how this is an “insult to women”. As a woman, I think all women should be proud of the way they look. It makes me sick to see these women spending ridiculous amounts of money on plastic surgery and all sorts of other useless procedures, when in reality, all a person needs to do is take care of their body.
I may not agree with anything Palin says, but I think this is just another distraction from the real issues. And that’s part of the problem.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Choosing Palin is just one more bad decision in a history of bad decisions by McCain. It’s funny; even Paris Hilton could probably name a newspaper when she’s on the spot. Could you imagine Palin as President? No wonder their trying to shield her from the media. McCain thought he would trump Obama by choosing a woman. Couldn’t he choose a woman with a brain? Well-it doesn’t matter, cause most sensible Americans know that surge or no surge twenty years from now there will be no democracy in Iraq-they will be back to their theocratic ways with a new dictator. Democracy is like a fine tuxedo. It doesn’t just fit anybody and it will never fit them. Just wait and see.
October 11th, 2008 at 9:42 am
“Is that a light from our heavenly Father cast down upon our savior Barack?”
Yes
October 12th, 2008 at 3:29 am
Jake: McCain was born in Panama and did not spend his whole life in the US. Obama was born in the 50th state, and yes he has travelled abroad, unlike Bush.
Everybody: Palin is beautiful and so is her picture. She is dumb however, not because it took her 6 colleges to get a degree, or that her sentences are incoherent, but because she doesn’t realize that she is not qualified to be VP.
Susan: Michelle Obama, though not very pretty with horsey teeth, is a Harvard law graduate and probably more qualified than Palin. And unlike Cindy McCain, Michelle is not a recovering drug addict who stole from a charity, or committed adultery with McCain against his first wife.
Jimbo: It’s just a picture. I know he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in international law, but any halos are imagined- it’s just a picture.
Everybody: Moslem is code word for black. If Obama’s father were a Serbian white Moslem who he met once when he was 10, and he was raised for 12 years by white Christian grandparents, no one would be calling him Arab, and the polls would be 20% spread.
October 12th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Can any brilliant theologist explain why a pregnant woman leaking amniotic fluid who knows she is carrying a downs syndrome child would get on a plane and fly from Texas to Alaska? For Gods sake if that is not trying to have an abortion, what is? Thank God that he gave her that sweet, sweet child. I bet he will bring much joy to her life.
October 12th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Don’t you idiots read People magazine, because I thought you did. Pay attention for once. I need some Iodine.
October 15th, 2008 at 1:34 am
What’s wrong with the cover? Looks perfectly OK to me.
October 18th, 2008 at 1:45 am
She is every woman.
October 18th, 2008 at 1:47 am
NOT.
October 20th, 2008 at 12:50 am
I have never in my life seen so many people hide their racist opinions behind dorky screen names! Calling Michelle Obama an angry black woman is beyond ridiculous. Are the Obama’s the first loving whole and complete black family that you have ever seen? They are actually living by Christian morals so you attack her personality? No discussion of politics, just crazy rants. Someone should be outraged at the way McCain treated his first wife. The bible doesn’t approve of tossing your wife just because she is no longer the looker she used to be. If you are a Christian please discuss this post in a manner that reflects the love of Christ not hate of Satan.
PS–I do not support Sarah Palin but she looks fine in the picture. She is a politician not a beauty queen (at least not anymore). It is ok to look normal. I don’t see all the blemishes that people are so upset about.
PPS-Some of you folks need to pray and talk to God about this. The comments are really hateful and don’t reflect the fruits of the spirit that some of these “Christian” posters should have.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:02 am
Sharon, people not voting Obama are not necessarily racists. What a convenient old card to play and many Americans are nauseated sick of it. Believe it or not many of us have no concern regarding his skin color whether it be blue, purple, green or orange. Can you not understand many of us distrust him and his policies? Attacks on Michelle Obama? What attacks? She was never proud of America until her husband was nominated. The press barely touched that. No woman in the history of politics has been unfairly, unashamedly and so biasedly attacked as Sarah Palin. People here talking about horsey teeth and a nasty attitude? Those are personal observations that may not be ‘nice’ but Obama can call himself Christian, be a hating liar and that is alright with you? Do you personally know the Obama’s? How do you know they are “Christian”? I’ve heard plenty of hatefulness spew forth from the mouths of both and Obama’s affiliations are poison. A man is known by the company he keeps. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly. Hateful? Since you are the judge of that I hope you are writing CNN, MSNBC, NY Times and Obama’s campaign regarding hatefulness.
October 23rd, 2008 at 12:29 am
And Sharon, PSSSSSSS… “The bible doesn’t approve of tossing your wife just because she is no longer the looker she used to be”. I agree. However, Do you believe the bible approves of tossing the innocent unborn into laundry bins while still gasping for air after a botched abortion? Or outright lying about being pals with terrorists?

I’m a Canadian, and I know we have our stereotypes about being friendly people who live in igloos, drink beer, play hockey and say eh alot.
I’m going to let you in on a secret here, and i’m not just talking about Canada, becasue I have been around the world and met people all over.
The general stereotype for Americans is that they are rude, and stupid.
I’m sorry to say that a lot of you proved this one right.
Obama is not a terrorist, and you should seriously stop pushing your religious beliefs on others becasue that is NOT what Jesus would do.
For the record I don’t see any facial hair, and I am a female who does NOT feel this to be anti feminist. Ignore Fox-News becasue that is an oxymoron in itself.
I don’t see anything wrong with this picture except that it’s at a really weird angle for a close up.
If you’re going to defend your political party please be intelligent and have debates about policies, not whose wife is uglier.
And honestly i see nothing wrong with the caption on the cover. Sarah Palin would lose a debate with a hotdog and is clearly one of the most unqualified candidates to ever run in this election. Newsweek is not chosing sides here, notice how there is nothing bad about John McCain on the cover, just Palin and that is probably because they recognize her lack of intelligence, experience, and basically every other quality in the book.
For those of you who say that Obama is a shady character and we know nothing about him, I’ve heard of him for about 2 years now. Ms. Palin just waltzed on the scene two months ago.

Hi I’m from England, just read all the posts on this thread, what happened to your country, no one of the comment here reflects the whole of America, but it really sounds scary, so much hate. Forget colour for a minute, if Obama gets in what do you really think is going to happen?
The economy is shot, your at war with two countries and global relations are pretty low, Obamas hands are tied, if he gets in you will just plod alone for four years with him smiling, you may even have left Iraq, which will probably lighten the burden on the economy.
You tried the right wing way, if Obama gets in blame Bush not a magazine cover, he handed the presidency to the other team.
I don’t think the picture was that bad, and I don’t think it really matters, Presidency is not a beauty pageant, it’s a serious job.
Please don’t jump on my case, I can’t vote and my views mean nothing but this thread just seems a tad aggressive.
It’s not over for McCain yet, but none of the harsh comments here will change the result.
If your angry go and vote

The Newsweek cover picture of sarah Palin is captioned: She is one of us - that is the problem. Amazing stumbling on the truth. It is a problem for the MSM.
