New Yorker Cover Irks Obama Campaign




The New Yorker magazine has drawn the ire of the Obama campaign with the publishing of a magazine cover that displays the candidates as "fist pumping terrorists". The above link references the actual article published by the New York Daily News. The Obama campaign has labeled the cover "Tasteless and Offensive".

The magazine's attempt at satire is clearly in bad taste, as it plays to all of the negative stereotypes that have been associated with Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. The "Politics of Fear" is clearly in season.
