What does Obama's reaction to the New Yorker cartoon say about his Harvard education?

I'll be honest -- I don't have an answer. I just wanted to write and say that your little essay, above, is the most interesting and penetrating commentary on the Obama cartoon controversy that I've read so far.

Thank you for openly expressing Obama and his supporter's complete hypocrisy.

Thank you for voicing the frustration of people in states like West Virginia and Pennsylvania who are scapegoated and demonized by the Obama bigots.

And, here's my answer to your question. Yes, you are correct. Obama is a phony and a hypocrite and so are his supporters and so is the whole demonic cabal of limousine liberals.

These parasites don't give a rat's hindquarters about the poor, or about making a better world.

They just have problems with mummy and daddy and they act those problems out through phony politics, while the poor go without health care and with lousy wages -- largely because of them and how they have f***ed up politics in this country with their identity politics, multiculturalism, hate American first agenda.

It's a rookie mistake. There's going to be a LOT of them to come. People have no idea how really unprepared he is for this task.

By the time his first 6 months are done, he's going to make George W. Bush seem like a brilliant genius. And I'll bet you, a lot of people on the LEFT are even going to be saying that.

The radical 60's leftists are electing a fantasy, a desperate attempt to deal with their midlife crisis, the reality that they are going to all be dead soon.

If you study the news and read between the lines, you can really see story after story that reveals their fear. The 60's generation thought they would change the world, be revered as saviors, and be worshipped for "saving the planet" for the ills of humanity. But now they are starting to understand that, no, the world will go on just fine without them, and really, they haven't done much to make the world a better place after all (in fact, just the opposite). And that is FREAKING THEM OUT.

The image of Obama as a Jesus-style savior isn't really that far from the truth. For many 60's liberals, he IS their Jesus and their last hope. They are desperately hoping he can heal them and give them perpetual life.

They're going to be terribly depressed when he proves to be a false prophet, and a rank amateur at that.

This is amazing we have obama trolls accusing non Obama

trolls of being trolls. When does the insanity stop. Your point

is well taken the depiction of the cover, was not a direct

shot at Barack or the African Queen. Now should this have been

the cover for The Klan weekly, One might have found this

to be a bit slanted. However your two affirmative action

dolts have chosen once again to drop the race card. and

plead that they are being wronged. Enough is Enough.

Kick these two idiots the hell out of the race, and drag

hillary back in. At least all she delt with was the odd Bosnian

sniper.

Actually, I think Obama's reaction was a mistake and McCain's reaction was correct. Obama knows it was satire and should have said so. The articles inside clearly point that out. Crying racism at every remark is a major mistake. Anyone who has ever seen the New Yorker should know this is completely typical. Obama should have said it didn't concern him in the slightest while McCain had to reject the implications of the cover. McCain's reaction was entirely appropriate and Obama's was not. I reject your conclusion that he is a "closet Muslim" but accept your conclusion that he is soft on terrorism. He has too many years attending a Christian church--racist as it may be. You are either Islamic or you are not--I don't think I understand how you can be a "closest Muslim." African-Americans have been exposed to Islam since before the days of Malcom X.

I think it says what I've always believed, Affirmative action students don't work for anything. They get it handed to them.

However, the cartoon is not unusual. Every public official has been the source for some cartoon, at one time or another. Where is the outcry for the Bush -toons or the McCain -toons, or the Jackson -toons? The only reason this is a big deal is because Obama is the messiah to his cult. Just another example of their double talk. They think its O.K. to make fun of anyone but Nobama.

The New Yorker uses satire often.

I do not think Iraq was a quagmire but that is what one of the past covers implied.

So, based on that and your view of the current cover, the New Yorker thinks a satire is an over exaggeration of the wrong views its readers have on an issue?

Face it the New Yorker is playing into the Obama game plan of keeping the topic off the issues.

Obama is a coward who will not debate McCain!

Also, you can buy a framed copy of the Cover from the New Yorker. Showing they do things to generate sales!

I guess that's the whole ugly point of satire - if it's not offensive, it's not really satire.

I think the Obamas are so desperately afraid of being "swift boated" that they feel it is their Constitutional duty to respond to every attack - real, perceived or imagined; but in so doing, they don't look strong as they had hoped - they look thin-skinned and humorless.

The Obamas simply do not wear well.

Its another chilling reminder from Democrats in general who are totally ignorant of the meaning and intent of the First Amendment, which allowed Larry Flynt to get away with satirizing Jerry Falwell by lampooning him in a fictionalized account of Falwells alleged sexual relationship with his own mother.

All I can add is that the references to McCain miss his point also. McCain was merely trying to stay the 7734 away from this one.

Well I really loved the cover and I'm a die-hard republican so I can see how Obama and his crazy wife would dislike the pleasure this caused me.
