Link to cover photo

Keep trollin, trollin, trollin

Note: that cover is indeed, the real cover. The troll is by Newsweek, not some anonymous photoshopper.

I don't think they're dumb! Obama is clearly a non-US born Muslim! Where is his birth certificate?!

Where are Mitt Romney's tax returns? Doesn't he believe that when he dies he gets a planet to live on?!?!

I think all the comments are even better. People showing other people that they were trolled is always nice.

How is this trolling?
Lol, it's Newsweek

Is it really trolling if it's the truth? I'd hate to be considered a troll just because I'm being honest.

Obama-critics can be really god damn annoying. My friends are either obnoxiously liberal or even more obnoxiously conservative. They're both loud and stubborn and swears the idiocy of the other side. I remember asking a friend, out of plain curiosity, what Obama had done he didn't like. He thought for a second, stumbled over a couple words and sputtered out something that resembled fox news throw-up. And yet I still hear all the time "Fucking Obama: Worst president in U.S History".

Don't get me wrong, I don't think of the man as a contemporary messiah. He's a politician, unfortunately.

Usually the big complaints are "Obamacare" and leading from behind in either Libya or Iraq. Hawks make the worst critics; they always sound like warmongers when they criticize someone for prioritizing peace.

As to how it's trolling, a blanket statement like 'Obama's critics are dumb' is provocative, and cannot be supported factually. Every critic will not agree on what Obama has done wrong, and some will disagree vehemently with each other, sometimes more so than they disagree with Obama!
