Time magazine mocks Obama 'Hope' poster with McConnell's 'Change'
Time magazine mocks Obama 'Hope' poster with McConnell's 'Change'
By Dylan Stableford 7 hours ago Yahoo News
In the wake of the Republican Party's shellacking of Democrats in Tuesday's midterm elections, Time is tossing some salt in President Barack Obama's wounds.
The magazine's upcoming cover features an illustration of Sen. Mitch McConnell, the presumptive majority leader, mocking Shepard Fairey's iconic "Hope" poster from Obama's historic 2008 campaign.
The cover line: "Change."

McConnell's victory was a blow to Democrats, who had hoped to defeat the longtime Republican senator as an act of symbolic upheaval. But Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, the 35-year-old Kentucky secretary of state, was unable unseat the 72-year-old Kentuckian.
In an interview with the magazine, McConnell said there "is no possibility of a government shutdown" on his watch, and that his top priorities as majority leader are "approving the Keystone XL pipeline, repealing the medical device tax, trying to restore the 40-hour work week, trying to get rid of the individual mandate. These are the kinds of things that I believe there is a bipartisan majority in the Senate to approve."
Time wasn't the only publication to mock Obama's "Hope" poster. The New York Daily News published an alternative version on its cover Wednesday, with Obama above the word "Nope" to illustrate what many are calling the repudiation of the president's policies at the polls.
The "Hope" poster had already played a role in the McConnell campaign. In October, the GOP sent a mailer to hundreds of thousands of Kentucky voters featuring a holographic wiggle image of Obama's face that morphs into Grimes'— one of the most overt attempts by Republicans in 2014 to tie local Democrats to the president.
