Interesting Magazine Cover

Have you seen the New Yorker cover with Barrack and Michelle Obama? Better yet, have you even heard of the New Yorker until now? I am sure they printed extra copies of this magazine because this is very calculated.
Barrack Obama is condeming the New Yorker magazine cover and calls it tasteless. John McCain’s spkesman has said that the cover is “tasteless and offensive.” David Remnick, editor of the New Yorker says it’s a satire so everyone should get a laugh.
In many ways, Obama and the entire nation should prepare themselves for many such caricatures. As soon as Obama screws up, it will happen as it has with all Presidents, the caricatures will become even worse. The difference is that the caricatures of Obama will touch the racial nerve that many of us, black and white, try to avoid exposing. So you better prepare yourself, no matter who you are, as cartoonist are only getting warmed up.
