Barack Obama

This illustration provided by The New Yorker magazine, the cover of the July 21, 2008 issue by artist Barry Blitt, shows Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama dressed as a Muslim and his wife as a terrorist.  The magazine says the cover is meant to satirize the use of scare tactics and misinformation in the presidential election to derail Obama�s campaign, but Obama's campaign called it 'tasteless and offensive.'

Woke up this morning and this is what everyone is talking about.  Obama Campaign said this was "offensive and tasteless".
Then McCain's Campaign turned around and said the same thing.   Very creative. 
In my opinion the New Yorker was just making fun of all the rumors that have been talked about the Obama's.  Was it wrong?  Is this what the American people are thinking and the New Yorker just decided to put it on their cover?
I have only been alive for thirty some years and every President that I can remember has been made fun of.  Do we need to get upset about this or take it with a grain of salt?  Saturday Night Live has been making fun of presidents since they have been on the air.  Is that wrong?
Obama does not wear an American flag on his lapel?  I will not vote for a person that is not proud of his country and display the American Flag.  Granted McCain is old but does age really matter?  Nope, McCain is an American Hero and has my respect and vote come November!
