This is going to make for some interesting news-they can depict him as a Muslim, call him an 'Oreo', but my question is-CAN HE GET THE JOB DONE?? I don't care if he is black, white, purple, or whatever, I don't care, but will not only listen to the American people, but will he DO something? There is much to change, much to be done. When you enter politics, I guess you could say this type of thing (the New Yorker Cover) is to be expected, someone will always have something to say-just remember it's OPEN to interpretation, how do you perceive it?

To me Caker,it seems like someone very powerful does not want him in office, no matter how much the New Yorker says its only satire, negative stereotyping can push people sitting on the fence, who may have been leaning towards voting for him, to the other side. Current Mood:

This image was the 'talk' today. I enjoy these kinds of illustrations... I just think this one was done in poor taste. The Newyorker got the attention it wanted. Current Mood:
