First let me say that I DON'T believe the nonsense that the right is spreading about Obama. I don't think that he a "secret" muslim and I intend on voting for him. I feel that what he offers is a true and refreshing new start.
Ok, so back to The New Yorker cover. Dude, that cover is funny. I completely expected the Obama camp to be offended. As so many are saying, they are supposed to come out and say that. But honestly, it play on our ridiculousness and our complete gullibility when it comes to anything unknown.
That cover is showing us, that as a society, WE need to pay attention to the more important aspects of this campaign. And not to the distractions that the right politico machine is so famous for. They are famous for the whole Wizard of Oz "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" in an attempt to distract us from the disaster that would behold our country should John McCain win Bush's third term.
And I think it's funny. I am not black and I laughed out loud. And guess what, I bet Barack and Michele did too (privately of course)
