New Yorker Cover: Giving Obama Camp Fits
The cover of the latest edition of the left-wing magazine, The New Yorker satirizes the "unfair" charges against Senator Barack Obama. Only the Obama campaign isn't laughing.
The cover depicts the alleged "right wing smears" that Obama is a “secret Muslim” who hates America, Michelle is a ’60s-style black militant in an Angela Davis afro and showing Osama bin Laden's portrait over an Oval Office fireplace with a burning American flag.
I think Obama's camp protests too much since the accompanying article is favorable to them. But it's the images depicted that has them up in an uproar. I guess it doesn't portray the Messiah in proper light.
My big question is: Will the New Yorker give John McCain equal time in pointing out the unfair charges leveled against him?
SIDENOTE: A new Newsweek poll shows Obama's big lead over McCain is gone. It shows Obama with a 3% lead, which is a statistical dead heat.
