Newsweek has depicted Barack Obama with a rainbow-flag halo before. Now, in the wake of the president&rsqascii117o;s reelection, the magazine is going in another direction: Obama as ... Napoleon?

The soon-to-be-extinct print edition of Newsweek ascii117nveiled its latest cover on Thascii117rsday. It shows Obama looking, in the words of the magazine&rsqascii117o;s Tascii117mblr, 'very Napoleonic' in 18th-centascii117ry military garb. Headline? 'The Obama Conqascii117est.'

Obama&rsqascii117o;s sascii117pporters coascii117ld remember the famed Napoleonic Code, which marked a great leap forward in civil law. His detractors coascii117ld remember all of that invading and emperor bascii117siness, along with an exile to Elba and defeats by the British.

Below, see Newsweek&rsqascii117o;s cover, followed by a portion of the famed Jacqascii117es-Loascii117is David portrait of Mr. Bonaparte.
