Good job Rolling Stone - in all truth I would like to be sitting on that Veranda, licking on the ice cream cone on the cover of 'bon appetit', while reading Rolling Stone. ;)

[novodia9]

Obama looks more delicious than that icecream
another reason for Glen Beck to start crying.

[TuffCookie]

they're all great, but Obama looks too cool for school in that RS cover, i love it!

Best Obama cover? Not even close:

Mad Magazine: Obama, the first 100 minutes

Oh no, the president has won again. Will the pain never stop for the republicans?

[Roma6888]

Some republican heads will be xploding again tomorrow!!

[Roma6888]

I love that cover!. I remember purchasing that issue and pretty much reading the article in less than 10 minutes. I was interested and first time i met David Plouffe. I had hopes after this article. I imagine the president winning the election!

[grasyknol]

I go with Rolling Stone because the cover is iconic. It will be shown in history books one hundred years from now.

The New Yorker Bernie Madoff as the Joker cover is the best cover by far, sorry Barack.
I oughtta know. My blog, "Buy The Cover" rates covers. So far I've only featured books, but maybe I'll start doing magazines too.
