Obamagazines Part II - "Time" Magazine

Today, more evidence of the media's love affair with Obama: the number of times he has appeared on the cover of Time magazine. Barack Obama has been featured on the cover eight times since joining the United States Senate on January 4, 2005, approximately once every 0.47 years. McCain has been featured five times since joining the United States Senate on January 3, 1987, approximately once every 4.35 years. That means Obama has been on the cover almost six times more than his Republican opponent. When counting the number of times someone has been featured, for the purposes of this article, I am considering only times wherein the individual has appeared alone or with only one other person, therefore covers featuring the candidate in a dog-ear-style teaser or for "list" articles do not count. Below are the eight issues of Time in backwards chronological order that have featured Barack Obama.
