The well-respected New Yorker jumped outside of the box this month with a cover of Barack and his wife giving a terrorist fist jab. It is meant to be sarcastic, pointing the finger at the ridiculous image right-wing media has created for Obama.
And while New Yorker covers are usually spot on, this one has to be the most confusing art direction choice I have seen in a LONG time. The Obama camp agrees. Get your act together guys, before your "satire" reaches the wrong people and flubs this whole thing.

divshare is acting stank for some reason man...
DivShare service is garbage time. The player and ease of use when it is working is why I haven't changed to something else yet.
would love it if we could straight download from your page but that usually requires some hosting for uploads…

Yes we should discuss Obama, especially this cover.
