Is it:
A) A direct hit against Obama?
B) A satire of what the the far Right supposedly thinks Obama represents?
C) A satire of the Far Left, for thinking the far Right can be reduced to simplistic notions of what Obama represents.
D) A satire against people who read The New Yorker (and their ilk), pointing out their hypocrisy, since there have been repeated jabs against right-wing politicians (including the sitting president), with the outcry we see now.
E) All of the Above.
F) None of the Above.
If "F," what's your answer?
F. A ploy to sell more magazines due to declining revenues in print media.
ReplyDeleteI think it was meant as B. But, also given that even when people are told that Obama is a Christian, they insist that he has "arab tendencies" because a Republican lobbyist said so on FOX. So this cover really does no favors to the Obama camp.
ReplyDeleteAll in all it was like Koz said-a desperate attempt to get more sales.
Hey we actually agreed on something. Swagina.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Koz. I'm sure it will become a collector's item if Obama wins.
ReplyDeleteKoz - Well, that goes without saying.
ReplyDeleteLJS - "Arab Tendencies" would make a great band name for a teenage band in Iowa: scare the fuck out of the 'rents.
Dragon - At least we can't accuse the New Yorker of giving us inexplicable cartoons, like they did to Elaine in Seinfeld.
