A Perception Problem

when did barry obama become barak obama and why?

I think the cartoon took into consideration the strongest Obama supporters from the Global standpoint! And dressed Obama and his wife accordingly!
It's cartooning,and don't be shocked if someday Obama is depicted as a teleprompter machine from the shirt collar up.

Newsflash! Obama condemns those who claim he's Muslim forever because of his birth, and issues death-fatwah against them!

The real irony is that the inside article rips Oblabla's Chicago roots and tactics. And that the cartoon may have been truer than it was intended to be.

Are Americans more comfortable with conventional politicians who look like Nazis or will they take a calculated bet and vote for the person with the most intelligence?

I like to think the latter; we'll see in November. We get the president we most deserve. I only hope we pick the best man (Obama) and not the most mediocre (McSame).

What image is that, Eleanor? The image of a magazine run by a bunch of snooty self hating Jews who go to the theatre so they can hook up with the boys in wardrobe? Yeah. I think it'll survive.

I think Obama will be whatever faith you want him to be to become president. The guy clearly doesn't want anything to do with Muslims after being born into the religion. He quits the church in order to look good, but he preaches to church going people everday that he promotes change and will be a different president. This guy is full of it and if the American people elect this guy into the White House we will be the biggest idiots for electing a person with no experience, no character, and no since of pride to be who or what he wants to be. I feel that a man is only as good as he has shown and this guy has change his mind over and over, things you cant do if you are president. You have to commit to a project and see it through....that is leadership and that is what McCain will do .

"EXOTIC, UNKNOWN, DIFFERENT" - - IN THIS CAMPAIGN; ALL CODE WORDS TO MASK RACIAL BIASES.

Quote from Eleanor Clift's article:
"The reason Obama is ahead by only a handful of points in a political environment poisonous for Republicans is because of lingering concern over his "exotic" (that's the code word) name and background."

You nailed it Ms. Clift. But at the end of the day whether its "exotic", "unknown', or "a different politician", they are still code words to mask racism. The word "racist" may sound too hard but you guys in the media have got to stop sugar-coating and masking the obvious sins of the people.

Based on exit polls taken in West Virginia and Kentucky primaries, at least 40% of Hillary???s votes came from Whites that will never under any condition vote a Black man to be their Commander-in-Chief. 20% openly acknowledge that fact to a clipboard carrying exit pollsters - - - aka, a strangers. Logical deduction concludes at least another 20% chose to do the same but hide their sins. And amazingly 10%-to-40% of the Hillary votes in all the contest since Texas/Ohio primaries said they will switch back to McCain in the general elections.

It is a bit disingenuous for politicians, talking heads, and party hacks to claim in a year the Republican Party is "Dead Man Walking", but somehow only trail the smartest, wisest, most authentic Christian presidential nominee since Abraham Lincoln, to claim it is just a "cultural gap" for Senator Obama to close with dialog. All the dialog in the world is not going to close the cultural gap between the 40% racist-White voters of Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Appalachian region and Almighty GOD'S hand picked leader to save America. You want proof, look no further then the die-hard confederate's inability to acknowledge the simple facts: (1.) the south lost, (2.) it was always about slavery, (3.) Lincoln was right to unite the nation, (4.) and they killed they're own brothers to the north in defiance of GOD'S WILL to bring freedom to a people of this land.

I am not one to throw racist accusations around so frivolously. But the way I see it the credibility of the news media has been steadily declining since they went mute on the run up to the Iraq invasion. The media was relatively mute then, and the media is relatively mute on the issue of race in this presidential campaign.

It was perfectly obvious that the cover was just another way to accuse conservatives of racism and bigotry. There was nothing sophisticated about it at all. Since the left has no substantive message of its own on how our society should be managed, this is all they have. The irony is that it was democrats who started the rumor that obama was a Muslim and it has been democrats who have been using racist and bigoted code words since the beginning of his campaign. The reaction to the New Yorker cover is just another example of how people need to lighted up and have a sense of humor. If we are ever going to have real racial equality then people are going to have to learn to laugh.

I had a good laugh over the satire cover from the New Yorker. It helps to laugh sometimes with all the bad news covered from A-Z.

I also had a good laugh presented by the Libyian President Omar Quafidi when he recently gave a speech that was carried live on Al Jazeera TV being beamed to all the Muslim nations (57 of them). In this speech he asks the question of what has happened to our Black Kenyian Muslim brother Obama? He gave a speech in which he told the Jews he would support their right to Jersualem which belongs to Muslims. Has he sold out to the white people in America? How can he expect us to support him unless he supports us?

Can anyone on any board answer the following question which he posed. Quafidi stated that our Muslim brother joined a Christian Church in Chicago and had been a member for 20 years, but, what faith was he following for the 26 years prior to joining this church? This church supports and works the Muslim Brotherhood so maybe not all is lost.

I had a good laugh at the satire cover of Senator Obama. I also had a good laugh on the Omar Quafidi speach he gave that was run on Al Jareeza TV that is sent into the entire Muslim world. He asks what has happened to our Kenyian black Muslim brother? He gave us such great hope and then he tells the Jews that he will defend their right to Jersualem! What is wrong with our brother, has he sold us our to the whites in America?
Senator Obama is now 46 years old and he joined the Unity Church 20 years ago by his own words. So that leaves 26 years in between. What was he for these 26 years? This is what Omar Quafidi is saying, that in reality Senator Obama is a Muslim and the church he joined supports the Muslim Brotherhood.
