The cover cartoon of The New Yorker and the story as a package might be considered a satire, however, the majority of American do not subscribe to the magazine, hence, they don't read the story. Most people only see the cover, the despicable cartoon which is circulated on the internet, and that the media pouring more gasoline on the fire by spreading on the national news over and over again.

What do you think if you only see that cartoon and not read the article associated with the magazine cover? That picture will be circulated again and again to defame Obama just like he did not place his on over his heart during the National Anthem.

You can cay the picture is just like a campaign from the swift boaters. You can be sure that the publishers of TNY are laughing all the way to the bank.

yes...and the crazy thing is the New Yorker is mostly read by liberals and intellectuals (typically the folks that would tend to support Obama)...The Editor of the New Yorker didn't realize that the satire on his new issue's cover actually might antagonize many current readers of his magazine.

Which blows my mind away.......I just saw the editor on AC 360 and he still doesn't get it.
