The New Yorker says its satire. It certainly will be candy for cable news.
At a press availability Sunday afternoon in San Diego, Senator Obama was asked, according to the diligent Maria Gavrilovic of CBS News: The upcoming issue of the New Yorker, the July 21st issue, has a picture of you, depicting you and your wife on the cover. Have you seen it? If not, I can show it to you on my computer. It shows your wife Michelle with an Afro and an AK 47 and the two of you doing the fist bump with you in a sort of turban-type thing on top. I wondered if youve seen it or if you want to see it or if you have a response to it?
Obama (shrugs incredulously): I have no response to that.
Priceless stage direction by Maria.
The magazine explains at the start of its news release previewing the issue: On the cover of the July 21, 2008, issue of the The New Yorker, in The Politics of Fear, artist Barry Blitt satirizes the use of scare tactics and misinformation in the Presidential election to derail Barack Obamas campaign.
Im sure Senator Obama is oh-so appreciative for The New Yorkers help.
I guess you have two sympathies. LOL Not me, I detest those Marxist far left Liberal uppity snobs.
Strictly put there to sell copy, that’s it cut and dry. And guess what. It’s gonna work. When someone becomes famous, or infamous in this case, all the leaches want to use that person for personal gain. In this case it’s the “magic negro”!!
More truth than satire.
do you get the idea that some liberals are quietly sabotaging al obama’s campaign?

I have to admit my sympathies go to the Obamas on this one.

WHY?
That’s one of their latest mantras, “The Politics of Fear.” Over and over and over again. Quite frankly, I think we should fear ALL politicians until we can find a reason not to. But when a politician appears to want to destroy our entire way of life, it is our duty to make people afraid.
It’s the American flag but the artist made it so that it also looks like human legs.
Check out the photo of Osama on the wall.
LOL!
The cover is an instant classic. I want the poster!!
My bet is that the New Yorker is packed with PO’ed Hillary supporters.
The question is, will the article be substantive; i.e., try to prove that each and every negative comment about the Obamas is a lie?
Or will it be the typical collection of contumelious comments aimed at those who are trying to gather information, pro and con? That is, us "clingers" I think is what we are called -- Hey! racist and bigot are soooooooo 20th century, about time they started calling us something new.
Well listen to the music of this Beatles tune by the NoBama folks while you read the article

This cover is a perfect example of just how insular Manhattan elites can be. They are so “sophisticated” that they know that this cover is just a parody of the way people in the flyover states see the Obamas.
Oh how we laugh at the rubes, their guns, their God, and their bitterness. How silly and stupid of them to believe in things like patriotism.
So they capture it all for a good laugh while dining on wasabi-encrusted medallions of organically raised llama on a bed of heirloom frisee, and sipping an single-vineyard Oregon pinot noir.
Just keep laughing liberals, just keep laughing.
Btw, Obama doesn't need any help in sinking his campaign. He and that skank he's married to are doing it without any help!
Of course he was.
Maybe it’s supposed to enhance their victim reputations - i.e., poor things; everyone’s picking on them just because they’re not typical white persons bitterly and embarassingly clinging to the English language. I can’t think of any other reason for the lib biased New Yorker to do this.
They're gonna catch hell from their own subscriber base in the coming days - what a shame - not!
Awesome, mojito, awesome.
Hillary’s not out yet..
“With a cover like that, one wonders if the New Yorker was making a coy attempt to torpedo Obambi.”
Liberals think they’re so smart. All the smart people will see the satire. Voters will see that Obambi is being swift boated. NOT!!!
What tools. =)
