We have an uproar over the above satirical cover of the latest New Yorker magazine. Why? Compared to the host of political cartoons about Bush over the years depicting him in every negative way imaginable - without any uproar from anybody - the response to this one about the Obamas is pathetic.
Think this is bad? Just wait until he gets into the Oval Office for real, and everybody discovers he's a sail full of wind.
Personally, I got a chuckle out of it... it's free speech at it's best, a political commentary about right-wing fears that completely avoids race and sex. It may be all smoke and mirrors, but it may also be a subtle warning about where their alliances may truly lie.
After all, Michelle is known to be buddy-buddy with the Nation of Islam, a very black organization promoting the idea that several southern states should be given over to the black race for its very own nation - over our dead bodies if need be - And Barak's Mom and Dad were both known to be anti-white and anti-American in many ways.
It took guts to publish this spoof about the "lightbringer", the man who will save America, the candidate with ALL the answers.
Let's all hope that the New Yorker cartoon is in reality just a spoof about right-wing fears... and not a prophetic omen of things to come.
