So Barry Obama thinks that the New Yorker cover (surely you’ve seen it by now) is an “insult to American Muslims”.
Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday that the New Yorker magazine’s satirical cover depicting him and his wife as flag-burning, fist-bumping radicals doesn’t bother him but that it was an insult to Muslim Americans.
First off, Barry, you’re a liar. It does bother you. A lot. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a politician with thinner (albeit beautiful light brown in color — almost a creamy mocha latte) skin.
The cartoon cover depicts the Obama’s standing in the Oval Office doing their infamous terrorist fist bump.
Obama is dressed in his traditional Muslim garb (much like he actually is in this real photograph), while Michelle is dressed as an Ak-47 toting Pam Greer.
So, how does Barry know that it insults American Muslims?
Of course the easy target is “because he is one.” Or was one. Or would like to be one. But getting much closer to the truth is because he has a lot of Muslim friends. A lot of Muslim friends. And some very close ties to the Nation of Islam. There is no doubt that these folks have the ear of one Barry Hussein Obama.
Besides — the cartoon is obviously satire.
- If it were intended to be actual criticism of Barry, then the photo would not have had the US Flag burning in the fire place. Instead, it would have illustrated Barry’s BFF and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers doing a Mexican Hat Dance all over the flag.
- And there is no way that Barry would have a portrait of Osama over the fireplace (he keeps one in his wallet though, allegedly). Barry’s first order of business upon moving into the Oval Office would be to hang a 10′ x 15′ portrait of himself.
- Michelle would not be carrying an AK-47 in an Obama Presidency. As everyone knows that one of Barry’s first executive orders would be to ban all semi-automatic weapons in this country. Now if the image would have had Michelle toting a shotgun or a revolver…that would be somewhat more accurate. Something more akin to this:
I would argue that American Muslims aren’t that upset or insulted by it. You know how I know? Nobody has had their head cut off (or threatened to be cut off) over it yet. The offices of the New Yorker have not been bombed or threatened with a bomb.
If Muslims were truly insulted by the image, you can bet your ass they would have let us know about it by now. They wouldn’t need Barry to mouth their faux outrage for them.

Flash forward to the kerfuffle — and Obama’s icy reaction — over this week’s New Yorker cover parodying fears about the Obamas.
“We’ve already scratched thrift, candor and brevity off the list of virtues in this presidential cycle, so why not eliminate humor, too?” wrote James Rainey in The Los Angeles Times, suggesting “an irony deficiency” in Obama and his fans.
Everything is an insult in Liberal World, every jab a personal offense, every joke now causing victimhood. I’ve been saying for years that these folks on the left have no humor, and this does not change my mind, as Obama plays the victim card. It’s no wonder those in the humor business are having trouble finding a joke, much less a punch line.
Obama later goes on to say that “he’s developed ‘a pretty thick skin’ running for president.” Given the way that the fellow seems to run away, at full speed and genteelly screaming, from even the hint of a suggestion of a possibility of a whisper that he might be secretly a Muslim… well. I suppose that he thinks that he has, and that’s the important thing, right?
Obama is humorless, and full of himself. That would make him a great target for satire, except that his followers take the position that any mockery or criticism is racist. The prospect of four years of that sort of thing is the best reason I can think of not to vote for him.
Along with the muslim women kicked off stage, this report is very telling of his campaign.
Obama Steers Clear of Michigan Muslims He May Need to Win State.
He has shunned his mother, thrown his grandmother under the bus, along with too many to list, and he is disavowing his Mohammedan roots.
If anyone considers him a friend, they best not ever turn their back to him, or allow him to pat them on the back.
