Barry,
So, you found this satirical New Yorker cover art "tasteless and offensive."
Welcome to public life.
Guess what? In Washington, political cartoonists and caricaturists spare no one.
*Update* Chris at The Hot Joints reminds me of this truly disgusting cartoon run in the Obama-worshipping Rolling Stone magazine last month:
Here's a reminder of the crap Condi Rice has had to deal with over the years: . . .

Thinnest-skinned Prez nominee I’ve ever seen. B-HO’s in for a tough road.
I’m not familiar with The New Yorker. Is it typically a Conservative mag or is it apolitical?

Ah. So it's possible this is just a set-up.
Is anybody really surprised at the reaction? Phil Gramm is right. We are a nation of whiners. And if he is elected, Obama will be the Whiner-In-Chief.
Heh, heh. Good one.
Just wait unitl the MSM and CongressCritters call him Hitler.
He’ll need an extra dose of Prozac.
One thing I would change on the picture was to put Rev. Wrights picture over the mantle.
Nah, I suspect this cover has Hillary’s fingerprints all over it.
He sure does seem to be very thin skinned doesn’t he? I think of all the pictures that have been drawn of George W over the years it just makes me want to LOL!
Apparently Jesse really did cut off the last pair.
Fingerprints can come back even after they've been sanded off?
Malkin hits a bases loaded home run with this blog post—Yo South Side Barry-H.O. your halo is bent,the message has been sent, You Tube messiah, your 15 minutes is now for rent....
This was supposed to be satire and it back fired.
Hehehe.
Sanded off? That is sooooo last century...Hill had them lasered away ;)PaMom
A-men brutha!
Obama had the perfect opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons by going along with the gag and getting in a good laugh.
“I must protest, Michelle has never had a ‘fro...”
“This is an outrageous insult to Ms. Angela Davis. The ‘chocolate chip’ camouflage pattern did not exist in her day...”
“I charge artistic plagiarism. The artist clearly modeled me after the statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten. You will be receiving a nasty letter from Dr. Zahi Hawass in the morning...”
“Why did you put Michelle in a long-sleeved shirt? I love the fact that she has no arm flab at her age...”
Alas, no. He could have seen the humor in the situation and endeared himself to the public, but he chose instead to throw an adolescent snit.
I say the New Yorker was testing him and he flunked big time.
Barack seems content to allow a flood of modern pop art posters into his campaign, sporting that trendy high contrast graphic approach that puts Bob Marley and Che Guevara on so many walls. Hey, Barry, ya live by the art and ya die by the art!
