On the cover of their July 21st issue of The New Yorker Magazine, a highly controversial cartoon featuring Barack Obama dressed in foreign clothes, and his wife Michelle Obama dressed as a militant radical, both celebrating with their much publicized fist bump in the Oval Office, all in front of a portrait of Osama bin Ladan. If that is not enough, there is an American flag burning in the fireplace.

This cartoon aparantly was supposed to be a “satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama’s right wing critics have tried to create”

This cartoon was part of a lengthy article on Obama titled ” How Chicago shaped Obama

    Offensive is an understatement for this cartoon, how ignorant this was to even publish this mess.

    What makes chimpy Bush and slutty Hillary less offensive? And what gave Obama the exemption from cartoons? Satire or not, it seems like for Obamaniacs, it’s only freedom of speech when the cartoon is making fun of your enemies.

    The future looks beautiful and brighter than ever. One or a million cartoons can not stop the winds of change. Change is coming, has come in the form of Obama. The last president lied to the public and sent innocent soldiers to die. The people welcome change, we embrace change with open arms. We will ignor your ignorance and push foreward to the future.
