Well, I'm an Obama supporter, but I would be also disgusted if the publication's cover had a sketch of John McCain dozing off in a rocking chair with a clock in the background displaying 6:00 pm, thanks..

Islam is not just talk. Islam is not enough cultural. Confidence is also only authorized to Islam, Safety and Welfare is also a result of the Islamization. Religion is not enough to define about Islam.

ha ha ha ha .........nice comment. Both on Obama and Hilary.

May I know , who is that lady with Obama. Is it Hilary?

ha ha ha .........rhinestones

Really a nice cartoon. I like it. Making cartoons with some articles attract the visitors to read the blog.

Nice strategy.

What? Is Obama ironic? What are you saying.....huh.

New Yorker magazine published this article.

I didn't think it was either funny or offensive, but I am smart and knew immediately that the artist was actually being ironic and making fun of the way Americans see things and label things without telling the truth. The cover was so far from the truth that I can see where the automotive recruitment would be. My fear is that many people are not smart and don't think, and these are the ones that see this cover and say, "see even the New Yorker thinks, such and such about him". Ignorance is the problem, not the cover...thanks..!!

The Obama McCain satirical New Yorker Covers?..

I need to have a list of all the satirical components of the New Yorker's covers for Obama and McCain . Like McCain with the 7 monopoly hotels and Obama with the burning flag... I just don't know all them and I need them for a paper..thanks boy

Isn't it ironic for people who find the Christian God offensive on a moral level when they themselves have? subjective morality? how does a subjective moral person oppose the Christian God on a moral level...unless they are asserting morality isn't subjective...homelover

Wow, this makes me feel so sad...

The New Yorker in the last 2 years has

had to compete with "Mad" magazine for readers.

Sure, it will probably be passed around. But I've been CC'd on my liberal parents emails with jokes about McCain's age a few times now, too.

While McCain age jokes have been plentiful, I think there are very real considerations that deal with age and the presidency as opposed to hypothetical Muslim and terrorist associations with Obama.

Also, the way I think of it, if Obama's "inexperience" is on the table, so should McCain's age and inability to even use a computer. That's the two way street.

Not the Muslim accusations versus McCain's age.

I'm not sure why anyone is discussing whether or not this cover is "tasteless and offensive"; it is both of those things. Clearly. Satire, well executed or not, is often tasteless and offensive; bad taste and giving offense are two of the satirist's most powerful tools. Given the New Yorker's generally left-leaning slant, its hard to imagine that anyone would take this cover at face value; it's hard to imagine anyone not "getting the joke."

But there's getting-the-joke-and-laughing, and then there's getting-the-joke-and-cringing. The question is whether this is effective satire or not, and it seems to me that it's not; it seems to me that it just falls flat. And satire which falls on its face and is also tasteless and offensive really falls flat.

It seems to me that Remnick and the New Yorker have egg on their faces. I can't imagine what they were thinking in running this cover. All the more surprising given the wonderful topical covers the New Yorker has run over the years, and especially during the past few years...

Oh, and Matty, Hillary won New York state, not New York City, but still, what is your point?

And let's not forget that New York voted for Hillary Clinton. It's not like New York is some bastion of enlightened progressivism here.

"those people are powerful, they voted for bush TWICE & the cover, NOT the 18 page article, is all over the cable news."

They also voted for barack obama in the 2008 presidential primaries.

How easily those with their heads up their asses forget!

re: 7

Jen, I'm sorry, but you're comment is silly. There is both a liberal media and a conservative media, and its grown such that anyone can find significant portions of the media to back up their claims and beliefs, and each side can find any number of facts to justify their views. But your comment ("I can't believe people complain about the 'liberal media'") implies a complete lack of understanding of this cover, as does the whole 'controversy' surrounding it. The cover is satire. The cartoonist, I can only assume, is an Obama supporter, and not a "conservative" seeking to squash his credentials. The fact that this is being manufactured as a controversy is ridiculous. Its satire. If people don't get it, then we should stop pandering to them. Let the people that don't understand satire (even bad, tasteless satire) manufacture the controversy; let's not do it for them.

Maybe they wanted all of those lost subscribers in Nebraska back.

Zodak, if you want to think believing that Obama is a Muslim and so on is some kind of respectable mode of mental operation, go to it. Respect it, worship it, fear it, fall down before it. I prefer to make fun of it. Do you think cowering will impress the knuckledraggers? I don't.
