New Yorker cover depicts Obama as Muslim. Do you think it will have any lasting impact on his campaign?

An illustration on the front of the latest New Yorker magazine shows Barack and Michelle Obama in the Oval Office, dressed as a Muslim and a terrorist while an American flag burns in the fireplace. The magazine's editor says "satire is part of what we do," but Obama's campaign calls the depiction "tasteless and offensive." Obama, who hopes to be the first black-American president, has refused to comment on the illustration. 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.

We can only hope & pray!
It could be the blessing America is looking for. Maybe the Omamabites will see the truth finally about this guy,s hidden agendas. His backing by private $$$'s is very scary & dangerous to all our freedoms in this Country. He is allready owned by too many, that is why he has to spend so much time flip-flopping all over the place.
Wake up America and smell the rotten coffee! It's really kool aid!

    The simple FACT that Obama wants to be one of the most powerful men in the world, yet does not want ot be critisized in an way....scares the life out of me. IMHO....that is the descrption of a fascist dictator

    I think everyone thought it was funny, except for Obama. He has no sense of humor. He needs to lighten up. The comedians are having a hard time coming up with any humor on him. That is not good. We all need to laugh at outselves. I personally thought it was hilarious.

    I can only hope it will. america needs to wake up and look at this man and his past associations and his current record. Do the research and see that this man is dangerous and not qualified for our Presidency. His past will be our future. I hope the media and everyone sees this before the GE.

    Haha that's really funny. I don't know if it will or won't affect Obama. It brings a lot of his negatives to light in comical mannor. I hope Obama isn't all of those things but he don't have enough time to get me on board. It doen't matter to me because I am and have supported John McCain since Feb. Obama shouldn't worry too much about this mag cover. He will have to worry about his wife Michelle Obama's "Hate Whitey" rant tape at Trinity church once that gets released because that is going to "CHANGE" some Americans minds. Look for the tape in mid to late September (perfect timing). But I'm sure the Obama's will pull their all to usual "I miss spoke", "I didn't mean it", "That isn't what I meant" song and dance. The problem with that is the Obama's have sang that song way too many times already and by then the M.O. "Hate Whitey" rant will be so deep, hurtful and hate filled that the American people won't buy anything Obama says from there on. There will not be enough "I'm sorrys" to go around. I hope the Obama's are not even close to how they were presented on the cover of that mag. I hate to say it but I wouldn't be too caught off guard.

    The magazince cover may or may not matter in the big picture. However, if your running for President based on "CHANGE" you better not move on your positions whatsoever. Barack H. Obama is currently learning that first hand because the only "CHANGE" you get out of him is him "CHANGING" on every single position in the matter of 3 or 4 weeks. Barack H. Obama is finally showing everyone what his idea of "CHANGE" is all about, "CHANGE" whenever, whatever, where ever, why ever and however he wants. Obama is a Liberal and wants people to NOW all of a sudden think he is a Moderate. He hasn't operated like a Moderate his entire political career in Liberal Chicago and NOW he is trying very hard to sell the American people on that very idea. Magazine covers are the least of this guys worries.

    Hah well if I had the "hate whitey" tape I would have already released it by now so ya know I don't have it. Just wait and you'll see my friend another couple months and it will be the everywhere. I'm just a concerned Independent who doesn't want whitey haters in the White House that's all. Just take a long look at Obama and his wife's church, pasters, friends and past anti-white anti-American comments. To me and many other Independents it all adds up. When the "Hate Whitey" tape is released the American people will finally be able to connect the dots from these people's past as if the Obama's haven't already done enough. Smart people don't need a "Hate Whitey" tape. They already see and understand how these people think, act and talk and none of it's good for white people. B.O. wants people to think he is all of sudden a middle of the road politician. The reality of the matter is that Obama is pandering fool with a left wing agenda. Everytime the guy says something a day later he takes it back and pulls the old "I miss spoke" or "Michelle miss spoke" or "that's what I said but not what I meant" or "people are taking what I said out of context". Mr. B.O. and his wife Mrs. B.O. are ALWAYS miss speaking, why is that? Can't they get anything straight? Can't they say what they mean and mean what they say? EVER? I mean this dude IS running for President, isn't he? Then when someone wants to ask him and press him on something he breaks out the quick "you missunderstood what I said"...

I mean this dude IS running for President, isn't he? Then when someone wants to ask him and press him on something he breaks out the quick "you missunderstood what I said" song and dance. He just simply WILL NOT ANSWER A QUESTION. If Obama truly gave a damn about middle and working class people he would shut his mouth all together and fight for off shore oil drilling. But he won't because he would rather pander to the left wing tree huggers, MEGA Liberals and special interest groups and doesn't give a damn about you or I or anyone else getting to work and back everyday with gas at $4.40/Gallon. Obama is a FLIP-FLOPPING chump who only cares about getting power. So then he can dump billions and billions of hard earned American tax dollars into the Black community through MASSIVE SOCIAL PROGRAMS all while sticking it to WHITEY with his big doppy smile stretched across that mug of his. My friend, that is the REALITY of the situation. Liberal and BLACK social programs and special interest groups is what makes Mr. B.O. tick, it's what he is all about. Even if Mr. and Mrs. B.O. win in November which they won't, Obama will NEVER REPRESENT me and I will NEVER RESPECT him or his racist wife, Mrs. B.O. Besides B.O. makes people lose friends. I don't have or want B.O. and neither does the rest of America they just don't have the stones to be as brutally honest as I am. When they get in the booth to vote and nobody is around to tag them with the racist label it'll all be a much different story. The American people will vote with their heart while listening to their gut and that will not help Barack H. Obama.

    Nice math graphic though.

    Answered No. It is just a funny magazine cover.

    It is satire and meant to be humorous. Imaginative.

    This will not affect Obama's race for the White House. Nothing, it appears, can stop the man. Even he believes in his omnipotance these days. To his supporters he's capable of "walking on water."

    The political machine supporting him and his surrogates in the media, NBC and CNN especially, go into action immediately to dissipate or to switch any possible negative into a positive whenever anything might harm Obama's image.
