GQ Slammed on Twitter for Obama Cover Story

Twitter was abuzz Tuesday after GQ magazine released its cover story on President Barack Obama for its 20th anniversary issue of "Men of the Year."

In the article, written by Bill Simmons, Obama talks primarily about sports — he's "best suited" to be commissioner of basketball or part-owner of a National Basketball Association franchise after leaving office — kicking his smoking habit and identifying a Golf Channel reality show as a "guilty pleasure."

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is also featured in the issue, which includes write-ups of Tom Brady, Will Smith, Michael Keaton, Tracy Morgan and others.

But with more than 50 percent of voters disapproving of President Obama's performance, based on the current Real Clear Politics average of national polls, some readers laid bare their feelings on the GQ cover on Twitter:

Obama is "too busy" for criticism about his failing ISIS strategy but totes has time to talk w/ GQ about sports! https://t.co/jbvYIyaQd1
