Devastating cover..., I love it!

[Chgogal]

Did the New Yorker include the pictures of Obama’s Texas Staff with their delightful posters of Che in their office?

Satire my foot. They know that 90% of the people who see this cover will just take it as The New Yorker’s POV. The highbrow left just shot a torpedo at Obama.

perhaps this will be the equivalent of dukakis in a tank or kerry trying to look tan.

I truly cannot believe how many people on this thread actually think this is a hard-hitting depiction and either a) feel sorry for Obama or b) think this is the work of HRC's people behind the scenes.

Please get with it.

The advert, profile, focus group, and image people working for Obama live and usually work within walking distance of the cartoonists, writers and editors for the New Yorker. They go to the same parties and have drinks (and sex) with each others wives and/or boyfriends. This cartoon is part of the makeover Obama is currently enjoying by virtue of his -- completely unchallenged -- move to the center. This cover will generate gazillions of dollars in free publicity and was undoubtedly timed to go on sale and was thoroughly vetted and coordinated by Obama's people. The best thing you could do is ignore it. It's not a cheap shot at Obama. It's the furthest thing from that. It's also not simply making fun of people like us. It's an attempt to draw the uncommitted into the "kewl kidz kamp" by getting them to identify with how ridiculous it is to portray these nice middle American folks as leftists or race baiters.

Its all part of the BIG SHOW.

Just trying to build sympathy for the Obama’s.

Especially since he can’t seem to find a valid birth certificate.

At least Clinton had Carter’s pardon for his draft-dodging.
