am I the only person who found it funny?
Michelle look particularly fetching in her Angela Davis getup.
I am surprised that what is obviously a joke/satire has gotten so much coverage from the chattering class. and outrage from the Obama camp.
much of the expressed outrage about the the "tasteless" and "offensive" cover is along the lines of "oh, we get the joke - we worry about "them" - them ignorant fly-over-country bitter rednecks - they are going to think this is an actual portrait"
this is a political cartoon and cartooning has a long history of being mocking and satirical; I think that those moaning and complaining are discounting the ability of the reading public to get a joke
