113. the article was an endorsement actually
The cover is self-mockery, like when we joke about having drunk the Kool-Aid as a way to defuse the charge by embracing it ironically. Hence:
With all due respect to those who think Clinton is the best surgeon for our times, we’re throwing our weight behind a different kind of healer, one who brings more than a smart set of policies, but rather a wholesale—yes, we’ll say it—change in approach. Don’t count us among the dewy-eyed who are infatuated with Obama and have conferred upon him celestial qualities: He is not divine. But do count us among those who believe he can inspire the best in each of us, begin to realign America’s international image, restore our civil liberties and expel the criminals and plunderers that have had an all-access pass to the White House since 2001.

Why the OP saw fit to exhume a 10 week old alternative weekly in order to strip it of all context is another story.
