Newsweek's Latest Cover: 'Hit the Road, Barack'

FOX NEWS: This week’s Newsweek cover, which reads “Hit the Road, Barack,” is shocking many. The article, written by Niall Ferguson, reads in part, “Welcome to Obama’s America: nearly half the population is not represented on taxable return – almost exactly the same proportion that lives in a household where at least one member receives some type of government benefit. We are becoming a 50-50 nation – half of us paying the taxes, the other half receiving the benefits.” Byron York weighed in on the cover, saying, “I think Newsweek is trying to achieve some balance after the publishing of the Mitt Romney ‘wimp’ story a few weeks ago that got a lot of attention.” “If you read this article, it’s pretty clear that Niall Ferguson is really energized not by Mitt Romney but by Paul Ryan,” York said.
