Monica Showalter "What is it about Democratic presidents and their urge to get in your face, showing themselves in all their arrogant glory on men's and women's magazine covers as their terms end?
Exhibit A is Barack Obama's sneering, smirking, arrogant photo on the cover of InStyle magazine, looking down with a sneer at all those deplorables as if to say, forever and ever, "I won."
"Had enough?
"It's styled to repel. The picture is a victory dance of sorts, not even hiding it, no Bushian modesty, not even trying to appear a nice guy. It shows what these political creatures are really like, in real life, the mask off, which includes a cozy relationship with the press, especially the fawning soft-side press. They are ego trips that excite only Democrats. And it's part of a bottom-drops-out trend started by Bill Clinton and will likely continue. Imagine what Joe Biden's on the cover of Teen Vogue or something in maybe 2024 is going to look like." . . .
