Obama Campaign Blast New Yorker Magazine covers....

Barack Obama's campaign blasted Monday's satirical cartoon on the cover of The New Yorker magazine showing the Democratic presidential hopeful wearing Islamic dress while his wife holds a Kalashnikov. The cartoon drawn by Barry Blitt shows the couple standing in the White House's Oval Office with an American flag burning in the fireplace under a portrait of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. While i am no big fan of the Senator, I just thought The new yorker was way over the line here, if it was meant to be funny, well it was not, maybe it was meant to scare Americans from voting for a Black person, The Senator lack of experience is enough to not get him elected, the New Yorker did not have to bring this garbage into the fray, the cartoon was frankly disgusting and tasteless, and should have no place what so ever in American politics.
