Obama’s New Yorker Cover Controversy

Sure, if I were Barack Obama I would probably be a little pissed at the New Yorker too. While I pretty much see Obama exactly how he was portrayed on the magazine cover, I definitely understand the controversy. However, Obama is just a senator. Where was the controversy when the New Yorker had a cover of President Bush as a Nazi or shaking hands with the devil? This my friends is the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal. Liberal’s will complain and demand an apology, a conservative won’t even dignify it with a response. The late Tony Snow almost never responded to a character attack on himself or the President, and that was one of the many things that made him great.
