The July 21 cover of the New Yorker magazine is causing quite a stir!! Both the Obama and the McCain campaign agree that the picture is offensive!! The New Yorker magazine defends its decision and says the illustration is satire.
Obama is wearing a tunic and a turban. Michelle is wearing army clothes, has an AK-47 and an afro, and the American flag is burning in their fire place. I think that's a picture of Osama bin Laden also above the mantle and ofcourse they're doing their famous "bump."
Offensive or just tongue-in-cheek? What do you think?

I would say its a satire, what happened to the freedom of speech? Well there was some uproar when something like that not so long ago, what'd America say to it? Well its freedom of speech....
Why is it that whenever Obama is being taken swipe at the campaign cant help but cry foul.. I think they need to get over it already!!
I love it! The New Yorker is saying, "This is what the Right wants you to fear." America would be nothing without political satire. This is what freedom of the press is all about.
