Illustrates something many are beginning to realize.. THAT OBAMADULLAH ISN’T BLACK. He’s Muslim, Taliban, Shiite, Saudi or whatever, but NOT black!!!!
To: PJ-Comix
Thanks Mad magazine. There is still some sanity left in the country! It’s at Mad magazine.

MAD has long embraced a purpose of poking fun at what it saw to be social excesses and follies.
