Obama Makes The Cover Of The New Yorker
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
From Politico:
The New Yorker says it’s satire. It certainly will be candy for cable news.
At a press availability Sunday afternoon in San Diego, Senator Obama was asked, according to the diligent Maria Gavrilovic of CBS News: “The upcoming issue of the New Yorker, the July 21st issue, has a picture of you, depicting you and your wife on the cover. Have you seen it? If not, I can show it to you on my computer. It shows your wife Michelle with an Afro and an AK 47 and the two of you doing the fist bump with you in a sort of turban-type thing on top. I wondered if you’ve seen it or if you want to see it or if you have a response to it?”
Obama (shrugs incredulously): “I have no response to that.”
Go read the whole thing at Politico.

That is one serious Angela Davis Ohio Players circa 1973 Black Power Fro
She needs a red black and green mojo rake in her left back pocket for the total look though
Frankly, Michelle would look a lot better with that fro than she does with her pseudo-Jackie Kennedy hair.
She looks so dumb with her current hairstyle.
But then, so does McCain. Obama actually has real style, for what it's worth, which is just about nothing.
The flag in the fireplace is a nice touch. I won't be allowed to comment on this at work. But on the other hand, they do want us to smile at people a lot...
Are you allowed to refer to Barack Obama as "The Messiah"?
You will be, but only with your forehead on the floor and your ass in the air.
LOL!
Yeah, probably not a good idea.
I agree about the fro pastorius lol
I LIKE fros
my pappa is Jewfro Bodine

I always thought that whole ass in the air thing says it all
YO GOD!
SMELL MAH ASS!
Not so good.
I can have a bit of that Jewfro thing happening myself. I used to look like Napoleon Dynamite when I was in high school.
My hair goes all frizz too now

nice to see you here
I get to spend the entire day at work watching people react to that cover. I'm surprised Borders hasn't issued a statement that it won't carry the New Yorker this week out of concern for the safety of its customers and staff who might be hit by flying arugula.
RRA,
May the arugula fly.
The more I think about this, the more extraordinary it seems.
The left never says much directly (except that they hate conservatives), so one wonders if this is some kind of twisted warning.
I understand the satire angle. It is funny as satire, but surely the New Yorker knows that not all of their readers understand satire. In fact, the reality is, probably very few of them do, being that most leftists don't understand humor at all.
good point Pastorius
although unsettling
LOL
