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.
