Jack Shafer: Why the goddamn hell is Barack Obama writing the cover story for next week's Newsweek?

Jack Shafer of Slate asks a good question: "Why the goddamn hell is Barack Obama writing the cover story for next week's Newsweek? He doesn't know anything about Haiti outside of what his aides may have told him. He won't even write it! If the piece is worth publishing, Newsweek should give the byline to its true author."
