After I stopped laughing at the portrait of President Barack Obama, Muslim and First Lady Michelle, feminazi black activist from hell, it began to occur to me just what the real message was from the New Yorker editorial board. it's subtle but it's definitely deeper than just a caricature of alleged right wing talking points and Internet smears against the candidate and his wife. The whole adds up to a Hail Mary up yours from the deserted Left to the candidate that had courted them and had them believing that Barack Obama was indeed hope and change that the Left could count on. So let's take the symbols one by one, shall we?

Barack Obama standing there in full Muslim regalia seems on the surface to be just a poke at right wing fear mongering. But added up with the candidate's of late moralizing to the black community about responsibility, accountability and fatherhood, along with Faith Based initiatives, I see something else in the Muslim attire. I see a mocking of Barack Obama's conservative values that do resemble the real Muslim faith more so than a secular left agenda for advancing the Black's cause. Muslims are indeed a very moral conservative people and not so much the wild eyed media portrayal we get here in the USA. To say the least the Left finds Obama's outing of his true agenda for Blacks and I assume the rest of us, offensive.

The burning flag has a few meanings. I believe that the first real intended Obama slam from the New Yorker by this image was on his FISA stuff and his general war mongering. I see a deeper meaning however, I see the burning flag and the picture of Osama Bin Laden as something already in the White House when Barack ostensibly arrived. These images stand for the things that a President Obama would simply continue. Things like the continuing erosion of American Civil Liberties in the name of National security. And, the continuing of this War culture by maintaining the belief that Osama Bin Laden represents everything that is Anti American and must be defeated.

The knock on Michelle Obama on the surface is a caricature of her Right Wing perceived out spokeness and perceived Black militancy. It's the fist bump that gives away the true intention of the New Yorker. They are making fun of Michelle's make over with print dresses and her warm and fuzzy appearances on shows like the View and Access Hollywood. The real message is that Michelle, like Barack Obama has now sold out to this mythical middle America with white picket fences and so much "green". Oh the green!, what Idealist can resist piles of the green? In my view, the Left at the New Yorker feel that they know of one idealist and his wife who couldn't resist the "green".

There may be some frustration at the New Yorker over Obama defeating Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. But then she's from New York and would have been good for New York as the President. Apparently Barack Obama paying black mail, I mean helping Hillary with her campaign debt wasn't enough to appease and "unite" all behind the effort after all.
