Barack Obama is BIG Seller on the Newsstand
This issue of The Week is the latest in the string of Barack Obama Magazine covers to hit the newsstand.
And, that’s not surprising. Especially after seeing the 250,000 (the number keeps going up!) person crowd in Berlin yesterday or learning that bombshell Pam Anderson threw her boobs support behind Barack Obama.
Last week’s controversial cover of the New Yorker was a virtual sell-out on newsstands with early estimates at 75,000 up from the weekly average of 43,000, reports the NY Post. (Most copies are sold via subscription.)
For Us Weekly, the cover featuring Obama and his wife Michelle sold between 900,000 and 1 million, above the magazine’s 800,000 weekly newsstand average.
Obama is also on the cover of the recent double issue of Rolling Stone, which could sell as many as 250,000, also above the magazine’s newsstand average for double issues.
Said a spokeswoman for Time, “Of our five covers featuring Obama and/or Hillary Clinton. . . this year, they either sold significantly above average or above average. On the other hand, the John McCain cover this year sold just below average, reports the NY Post.

VANITY FAIR MOCKS NEW YORKER COVER: HA?
Vanity Fair maintains a kind of affectionate rivalry with its downstairs neighbors at The New Yorker and this is how they show their love.
NEW YORKER MAGAZINE STIRS MORE CONTROVERSY
This week the magazine attacks all people who enjoy lobsters.
Just kidding. Joke.
But, I do hope they get away. Free all the lobsters! It is kinda cruel how they’re cooked. Isn’t it?
BEST & WORST BARACK OBAMA MAGAZINE COVERS

BARACK OBAMA RESPONDS TO NEW YORKER MAGAZINE COVER:
On Larry King Live, Barack Obama said, “I know it was the New Yorker’s attempt at satire. I don’t think they were entirely successful with it. But, you know what, it’s a cartoon Larry. And, that’s why we’ve got the first amendment.
This is actually an insult against Muslim Americans. Something that we don’t spend a lot of time talking about. And sometimes I’ve been derelict in pointing that out. There are wonderful Muslim Americans all across the country doing who are doing wonderful things. And for this to be used as sort of an insult or to raise suspicions about me I think is unfortunate. It’s not what America is all about.”
