India's Outlook dubs Obama 'underachiever' after Time cover



An Indian magazine has dubbed US President Barack Obama "the underachiever" on its latest cover, two weeks after US-based Time magazine did the same to India's prime minister.

Time magazine's cover labelling Manmohan Singh as "the underachiever" prompted heated debate in India.

Using Time's words on Mr Singh, Outlook reads: "America needed a reboot".

Outlook's editor denied the cover was a "tit-for-tat" response to Time or an expression of support for Mr Singh.

But the words on the cover of the magazine reads: "He promised hope and change. Four years on, President Barack Obama's sheen is gone. Can his lofty rhetoric carry him home again?"
