This is one of many distractions.
I understand the satire and irony of the cover. It is actully humorous in that light. However, It does speak to a gross misconception that many americans have about the Obamas and I fear that they will remove the satire and claim it as a a conformation &vindication of those illogical beliefs and use it as further propaganda against Obama, which only removes focus from the issues and will continue to fuel this ignorance and bigotry. Such a shame!

Obama and McCain need to stop whining over nonsense. Two grown men with perpetually hurt feelings, who are constantly indignant and offended? I haven't heard so much screaming "not fair!" since I was in elementary school. I hope the ghost of George Washington kicks their wussy asses.

OBAMA IS A CLOSET MUSLIM
Obama is a Black Liberation Theologist ("BLT"), a theology that racist, James Cone, made up out of whole cloth in 1969. Cone is credited as being the inspiration for Obama's "former" church. Cone explains that BLT is based on the teachings of former Nation of Islam Leader, Malcolm X, and so-called "Black Christianity" that calls on all blacks to "kill" images of Jesus as a White man. Cone has also called white people "the devil".
BLT is a front for Radical Islam.

Well, considering that magical Jesus came from the Middle East, I suspect he wasn't a "white man" in the mold of say, Parsly or Hagee. Doncha think?
Perhaps you might want to take a look at the people within your church? Maybe you don't agree with all of them? Perhaps someone wanted to burn a gay person or Muslim alive? Would you light the match?

Please try to come up with something new. If these people are so bad that the world should feel threatened maybe they should be sentenced to death. For your information jesus was a jew they are not considered to be Caucasian AKA white.

I'm disappointed at Obama, I thought he would have been smart enough to be one of the "select few" who have a functioning sarcasm detector. Either way, I guess he has reason to be concerned either way though, since the majority of americans are idiots who don't get it.
Strategically ... ( 4 months ago by Oitucrem)
Strategically speaking, I do believe Obama did the right thing, specially after McCain said it was offensive. He could make McCain seem dumb by explaining the satire. On the other hand, McCain could twist Obama's endorsement of the cover into a nice speech of how that sort satire is what we could expect of Obama and his candidacy. Thin ice either way. There are more stupid people than there are smart people, and this IS an election. He had to go with the popular voice, not the smart ones.
