Yes he can...GO!

There were no surprises when Left-leaning Newsweek magazine tried to pull the 'wimp factor' tagline with Romney, as they did with George H.W. Bush. But when they decided to go with their latest issue, featuring Niall Ferguson's piece, with an image of Obama and a caption stating "Hit the Road, Barack: Why We Need a New President" ...well, one can imagine how batsh*t crazy (to use a favored liberal term) the Left's wizards of smarts went!

HotAir: Well, he’s done it again. President Barack Obama has once made the cover of Newsweek. This time, however, it’s different. The photo of him is one in which he appears to be walking away, his suit jacket slung over his shoulder with Sinatra-esque insouciance. The title of the cover story—“Hit the Road, Barack: Why We Need a New President”—is also a departure.

The analysis, which one guesses carries a disclaimer by the editorial staff somewhere inside the print edition (something to the effect that the views expressed herein are not those of thee editors), is by Niall Ferguson, a professor of history at Harvard and a senior research fellow at both Oxford and Stanford. The author gave viewers of the Sunday talk news circuit a preview of his lamentations over the Obama presidency, or more specifically its unfulfilled promises, on Sunday’s Face the Nation.

"I think it was a genius move, [Romney's] best move so far..."


(TheRightScoop cuts out the rest of the talking heads to focus on Ferguson's point)

Ferguson's piece, entitled "Obama's Gotta Go" lays out a detailed case of Obama's broken promises, how badly he's presided, particularly through his ideological policies, and why Ryan and Romney should not only replace the Obama administration, but how their path to prosperity is our only hope.
