Satire is satire, but this is a most disgusting, irresponsible form. When terrorism is so in the forefront, what is there to find comical? Not only is it disrespectful, it is defamation of character be ye Democrat or Republican

Maybe when you realize that he is supposed to represent all Americans, not just african Americans, the jokes will stop. Maybe when BET and TV One make the coverage equal the jokes will stop.

Obama is just another joke sucking up more taxpayer money for secret service.

If he really loved America, he would drop out and let a real American have the job.

The New Yorker blow it this time. It's a little bit of a stretch
to think when looking at this drawing that everyone is only going to think the obvious. New Yorker stop back tracking
we know what you meant.

No. McCain that was catptured and would have died for me. Not some boy that has lived in America only to go to school at taxpayers expense. Some boy that had a father that worked in the Kenyan government. A boy that I am not sure even loves this country.

You stupid big boy!

If the joke was about McCain, no one would be interested. But because its about the teflon candidate, everyone is upset.
This is so stupid. Get over it.
It was all in fun.

He was born on a military base in Panama while his dad who was a Naval officer was stationed there. While not a huge McCain fan I believe that being born out of the country because a parent was serving the USA should not be a disqualifier.

It's amazing what a bunch of racists you all are. Seems to me there's that deep seated hatred that a white woman slept w/ a black man. I guess she's not one of you anymore, eh?
So now because his name is Barack and not Bill, John, or Jack - he's a Muslim??? A Muslim who can't wait to get into office to burn the flag? Get the F out of here. AND putting an Afro on an African American woman is stereotypical nonsense. And before you object I AM AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN WHO SERVED IN OPERATION DESERT STORM.

Fascinating that you fanatics are so overwhelmed with fear that this country might just elect someone who can save us from economic and social despair that you would lower yourselves to such racist nonsense.

A whole lot more of an American than the fool you want to destroy this country. SOmeone that has only taken and given nothing. Nothing what-so-ever.
