This week's New Yorker magazine features a cover that portrays Obama and his lovely wife bruno as terrorist revolutionaries in the White House burning an American flag with a picture of Osama above the fireplace. As Mike Allen at The Politico reports, The New Yorker was aiming at the conservative image of Obama in order to satirize it, but judging by the reaction, they have hit a bit wide of the mark. As any humorist will tell you, comedy must contain a grain of truth, and this one has a bit more than that. The leftist fringe is already having a hissy fit over the cover which goes to show that it is not being received in quite the way that it was intended. For the truth of the matter is that Obama is indeed a radical, although he is working very hard to prevent you from discovering it. And the left gets really mad that anyone on their side would unintentionally send the wrong message by telling a bit of the truth.
And in any event, I don't think this cover is going to help Michelle's kids.
