The New Yorker thinks Obama is such a slam dunk that they depicted him in full Muslim, flag-burning, Osama-jihadist- garb, just to show their contempt for the anemic McCain campaign and anything Republican.  But what they didn’t expect was for Obama to be the one coming away with hurt feelings.

For a presidential candidate to be so defensive about a cartoon whose editorial barb wasn’t even pointing in his direction, might strike the average American as odd; but in fairness, Obama can be forgiven for thinking he was the one being attacked since it was the first time he’s appeared on a magazine cover without light beams emanating from his head.
