Caption the Cover of the New Yorker
NRO ^ | July 13,2008 | Byron York]

The magazine says the cover art, featuring Barack Obama and his AK-47-toting wife in terrorist garb in the Oval Office, with a portrait of Osama bin Laden above the mantel and an American flag burning in the fireplace, "satirizes the use of scare tactics and misinformation in the presidential election to derail Barack Obama's campaign." But the Obama campaign is denouncing the cover, saying The New Yorker's editors might believe the picture is "a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create," but it is fact "tasteless and offensive."

1. “We did all this WITHOUT my birth certificate!”

2. “Wow, baby, they can’t believe the Change in us now, can they?”

3. “ Hah. And they said community organizing was a dead end job!”

4. “ No,no, no! Not “Dreams of My Father”-—it’s “Screams of the Founding Fathers”!

5. “ Baby, let’s get you some $ 600 earrings to celebrate!”

6. “ Let’s light a fire, and invite Bill Ayers over!”

7. “ Although I’m not fit, I made it, you must admit.”

8. “ Jihad at 1600.”

9. “ Baby, they are not going to believe our costumes for the Inaugaral Ball!”

10. “ I’ve flip-flopped so much, I wear them all the time now!”

Yup! You are right!

Hillary has yet to take off the kid gloves.

This gets more delicious with each passing day.

“I talked to the editor of The New Yorker, David Remnick, who tells me this is a satire, that they are making fun of all the rumors,” Kurtz added.

Everyone better save a copy of the cover, because it will disappear fast... from all sight. I wonder how long it will take them to take it from the newsstands.. or if it makes it to the newstands. ...Dang..I would buy one.

That’s what I’m thinking.

Take the cover off, throw out the mag, and frame it.

Tell Remnick to keep publishing these "satire" covers.

There is some truth behind every joke.

Americans have to keep fighting and exposing Obama as the racist cretin that he is.

On the record, the McCain campaign adds: "We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it's tasteless and offensive."

The Obama's are tasteless and offensive.

Her BS about helping Obama is about as believable as an announcement that I am Spiderman.

I don't know...I've never seen you and Spidey in the same room together...and you DO seem to get some amazing shots of him...

Obama's connections to Rezko, Wright, Farrakhan, Ayers and his endless ties to communists, anarchists, homosexuals, fascists, criminals and other registered democrats must be exposed!

As the Apostle Paul once said, we must fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the Faith!

To fighting Obama is to fight Communism, tyranny and oppression.

Uh, how about 'accurate and true'?!
