...in case you didn't see this, here you go, the Lord Messiah Obama Hussein Barack and his belle Michelle in her alter ego Angela Davis guise.  This apparently has offended the Lord Messiah, as he thinks most Americans are too stupid to see the satire in the picture and will instead believe that he is a muslim because of his attire in the picture. |

I thought it was hilarious, given his massive attempts at glazing over his past and it keeps coming back to bite him in the butt.

Most Americans ARE too stupid to see the satire in the picture and will instead believe that he is a Muslim because of his attire in the picture. That is just a fact of life. I too found it a hilarious cover. It should not offend anyone who has the sense to know that The New Yorker Magazine is all about satire. They have had some of the greatest cover illustrations for decades  Here is a link to a Baltimore Sun article with some thoughts on the cover... www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation/politics/bal-te.magazine15jul15,0,4906395.story |

After reading your link one thing stands out more than anything else.
The very same people thought it was ok and funny to depict Bush as the devil, Hitler, or a evolutionary throw back. Not one snivel or whine was heard from them, they gladly jumped upon that band wagon and cheered the artists and publishers.
Moral of the story:
If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

 This was emailed to me last week. If I were him, I would not be offended over a cartoon drawing especially when this picture is finding its way to millions of in boxes. |

I was not suggesting that BB was like that, but rather that emails such as that are as I described them |
