Obama Just Isn't That Funny

(via Southpaw) Good article that questions what you can realistically lampoon Obama for in the wake of the New Yorker cover debate.

On the issue of the cover. I'm torn - I understand it's satirical and does poke fun at the absurdity of the right-wing attack on the Obama's. But on the other hand, is it really appropriate for the cover? Or to run without a headline? And does it actually reinforce any misconceptions? Thought's on this would be appreciated.

Contest: if someone can send me a New Yorker cartoon that for once actually has the effect of making me laugh ... I'll give you a prize.
