Barack Obama faced more controversy this week as a cartoon version of himself and his wife featured on the front cover of The New Yorker yesterday. As you can see, he is dressed as a Muslim, while wife Michelle is thought to be a terrorist. With a portrait of Bin Laden hanging over a fire place burning the American flag, I think this opinion of Obama is pretty tasteless and extreme. With one in ten Americans actually thinking Obama is a Muslim (not the Christian he claims to be), this will do him no favours in his presidential campaign.
The magazine says the cartoon is intended as a "satirical comment about some of the distorted right-wing attacks on the Democratic senator." If you ask me it's just another personal attack on Obama which needs to stop now.
