Messiah Barack has boxed himself in. If he and or his supporters whine about this, what will they do when something serious occurs from an enemy of the United States? I think this is what is going to LOSE the election for Sen. Messiah Barack.

Too bad Obama's most ardent followers were too stupid to get the joke...even though it was defending Obama. Satire serves an important role in society and sometimes you have to go extreme to have the largest impact.

I hop...Nikki, that's an interesting a hopeful take. I hope you're right about the end result.<BR/><BR/>Obama has been a phenomenon and something of a cause since he declared his candidacy. This could add to that.<BR/><BR/>However, a lot depends on what an individual voter brings to the party, so to speak. If it's raw prejudice, that voter will see in Obama what he or she has been programmed to see. S.W.

It gives a broader purpose to his candidacy than that of politician...he is now a poster child gainst racism. To me this will continue to benefit him and not hurt him. :)NNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506161645223765063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518523519497445289.post-37803613906812881682008-07-14T14:43:00.000-04:002008-07-14T14:43:00.000-04:00Where the cover fails as satire is in not making c...Where the cover fails as satire is in not making clear even to casual viewers that what it depicts is how right-wing political foes supposedly see the Obamas. As opposed to how the magazine, or at least its cover artist, sees Obama.<BR/><BR/><I>"On the one hand, this is how many right wingers see Obama."</I><BR/><BR/>I'm not so sure.
