Obama Camp Declares Jihad on ‘New Yorker’ Magazine Cover

Aides to Barack Hussein Obama are blasting a New Yorker magazine cover that depicts “President Obama” in the Oval Office, wearing a Muslim-style outfit and doing a fist-bump with his wife, Michelle, who is dressed in camouflage with an automatic rifle slung over her back.

A picture of Usama bin Laden hangs above the mantel of the fireplace, which has an American flag burning in it.

The July 21 cover, titled “The Politics of Fear,” is intended to be a parody, an attempt to show how “scare tactics and misinformation” are being used to try to derail Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign, says cover artist Barry Blitt.

“I think the idea that the Obamas are branded as unpatriotic [let alone as terrorists] in certain sectors is preposterous,” Blitt wrote in an e-mail to the Huffington Post. “It seemed to me that depicting the concept would show it as the fear-mongering ridiculousness that it is.”

The Obama campaign has had to fight an intensive e-mail spam campaign that claims Obama is secretly a Muslim, and his wife is a black radical. Campaign spokesman Bill Burton called the New Yorker cover over the top.

“The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama’s right-wing critics have tried to create,” Burton said.

“But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree.”

Obama did not reply to a question about the cover when he answered reporters’ questions on Sunday in San Diego. John McCain’s campaign also slammed the cover as “tasteless and offensive.”

The New Yorker editors also issued a statement Monday saying the cover “combines a number of fantastical images about the Obamas and shows them for the obvious distortions they are.”

“The burning flag, the nationalist-radical and Islamic outfits, the fist-bump, the portrait on the wall? All of them echo one attack or another. Satire is part of what we do, and it is meant to bring things out into the open, to hold up a mirror to prejudice, the hateful, and the absurd. And that’s the spirit of this cover,” reads the statement.

The staff of the New Yorker were giving us a message by doing that picture.....   They know what's up with him, too......

Special rules for Obama?
Sooner or later, voters are going to recognize the exquisite sensitivity of the Barack Hussein Obama campaign to ridicule as weakness. By choosing to cry foul  over the New Yorker cover depicting the Obamas as the opposition supposedly sees him, the campaign reveals the precariousness of the substance-free image-building effort to date.


The irrepressible Doug Ross  dug up a New Yorker cover mocking Bush and Cheney as the gay cowboys from Brokeback Mountain, sarcastically noting the missing firestorm of protest.


Are Americans really going to want to vote for someone who holds himself to be above criticism and mockery?

All of the stores are sold out and the NYr is out as well. They are reprinting and will have more on Monday and will be charging $9 per copy for them.

What this means is that they will do something like this again for the money it brings in.

What this shows is that the American people don't support Obama but are forced into submission by a biased media and the self hating Jews and whites who fanatically support him at any cost.

Exactly.  Obama wouldn't allow anyone to criticize him so he would be like a dictator.  Bush Jr. wasn't whining every time he'd get criticized with cartoons.

Wait a minute. Isn't it the Muslims that get mad and go crazy over cartoons??  You think Obama might have muzzie tendancies?

Obama is extremely furious about the cover of the magazine, and it pleases me to see him upset. Who on earth does Obama think he is? Excellent point you made about Obama being above criticism. This is further proof that Obama is indeed muslim. Muslim's become enraged beyond endurance if they view anything that is offensive to them, yet the muslims have no problem displaying nazi flags and calling for the death of Jews and homocide attacks against innocent civilians. There are also the cartoons in the arabic magazines making fun of Moses, Jesus, Jews and Christians. Obama, Muslims and the radical left are enraged only because that cartoon represents the truth...the very truth they have gone out of their way to cover up. Good job and I respect the New Yorker for having the courage to stand up to these MONSTERS who are trying to place a Marxist/ Muslim into our White House.

Obama is proving more everyday that he is unable to take political heat.  I guess when you have to lie everyday to the American people about your motives, your associations, and your political ideology, the truth eventually comes out.
