Obama and the New Yorker

This post is in reference to the following article

Well, well, well...so many things to say here. The first, I suppose, should be that seeing the cover made me laugh out loud. Is it in bad taste? Absolutely. Do they have every right to do it? Absolutely! Gotta love that "freedom of the press" thing. I actually see nothing wrong with it and completely get what the NY Mag was trying to do. My ONLY problem with it is by using this type of humor, they actually damage their own point. Here's why...Pro Obama types will either love it or hate it, but still vote for him. Anti-Obama types will be fueled by this and, in their ignorance, may actually think this proves their point. Obama's stance on this only fuels that right wing fire as well. He should have just laughed it off and given a speech on fear politics. That would have been the best thing. He just looks silly trying to fight it since it seems that he's not smart enough to get it. For him to say that it's not appropriate is, well, just not appropriate. Given the fear based political system we currently find ourselves, it is not only appropriate but necessary. I don't think the magazine is doing anything to help itself by printing this, but, like I said, it's damn funny.

Could be the New Yorker gets more Republican readers because of this cover...good for business?

Oh yeah, the picture is racist for sure...forgot to mention that.
