Put the same drawing on a TV screen with the Fox emblem in the corner and a pair of couch potatoes parked in front of it, put that on your cover, and you've got satire." --expectator i found it extremely offensive also and i appreciated this reader comment that appeared on slate.com:

I honestly think that perhaps the cartoonist did think this was parody-to those who realize how slanderous all the images of Sen. and Mrs. Obama are. However, to think that this image wouldn't be taken and manipulated and leveraged by right-wing nutjobs, and to think that the vast wastelands of ignorant white folks out there in Americaland who actually believe Rush Oxycontin and Sean Hack-ity when they promulgate some of these horrendous myths, suggests that the New Yorker is actually stealth wingnuts. Thing is...to me......how could you even THINK to depict such an explosive image on the cover? You KNOW what the media (if by media you mean self-satisfied millionaires circle jerking) will do with this image, and it will have no bearing on rational thought, or decency, or rationalism, or real life lived.
