Is It OK For Europe To Like Our Presidential Candidate

I found this question being asked in my daily Huffington Post feed. I personally have no problem with the concept that our best and closest allies might not hate us if Obama wins the election.

Apparently McCain and the popular press don't see it that way. I have no idea what could possibly be wrong with the idea that Europe might stop hating us if we reject McCain's bid for four more years of Bushism. I wish we could fire Bush today and have the election tomorrow followed by inauguration on Thursday!

About That New Yorker Magazine Cover

Have you seen it? I think the best and fairest treatment of the piece comes from Huffington Post. No surprise that the Huffington gang of liberals is up in arms over the image. I don't like it myself.

The cover image shows the Obamas as America's worst fears. There is no text on the cover explaining what the image is supposed to mean. The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick claims that the cove is a satirical image of the anti-Obama campaign rhetoric that labels Barack and Michelle as everything the right wing hates.

The cover image alone shows no hint of the intended satire. It shows the Obamas in the worst light possible. I find it tasteless and offensive. It doesn't matter which side of the political fence you are on, the image will most likely elicit a reaction from you.
