However many people were responsible for ‘okaying’ the Obama cover should be immediately required by New Yorker publisher to subject themselves to toxicology screen tests. I would suggest looking for high levels of alcohol in their blodd work or crystal meth in their toxicology screen.

I am 68 years old, I grew up admiring and reading your magazine. Who would have imagined that one unbelievably stupid editorial decision would destroy 55 years of admiration and respect. But you’ve managed to allow that to happen. I’m not alone, I know. I hope certain responsible writers i.e. Seymour Hersh will have the self-respect never to publish in your now severely tarnished magazine again.

Farewell lifelong icon: it turns out to be true! The bigger you are, the harder you fall. Nancy Mikelsons

The portrait should have been of Karl Marx. That would be closer to their real views. He is no doubt the worst thing that could happen to this country right now.

OK Ann, so you saw a photo on FOX News of Obama not saluting during the anthem and the commentators stating he’s not patriotic. If FOX says it, it’s the GOSPEL.
Also you took the statement of Mrs. Obama way out of context and since FOX News continued to hammer that story, she’s has to be a terrorist.

Get off your couch, stopping watching TV and get in touch with the real world.

It sickens me how some people can be so shallow/one sided on a story. Look into the full story before commenting!!!!!!

WHY do they have Obama beside flags when
he will NOT wear one NOR will he salute one?
Obama has NO respect for our flag nor the National
Anthem. His wife and his preacher hated our
country until he became a possible presidential
candidate. When he becomes president they will
hug and jump up and down…..on our flag and
our nation. This cartoon couldn’t be MORE TRUE.
Sometimes TRUTH HURTS…….and the more it
hurts, the TRUER it is. OUCH…….Whoa…….
I smell a flag burning~!!!!!
