Also - I agree with EE-BO's post above, in that the cover misses the point why a lot of us don't want Obama for President. I'm against Obama for many of the reasons EE-BO mentioned (skyrocketing taxes, too much spending on entitlement programs, etc.).

I slightly disagree...it hit the point square on the nose and it is what i said a long time ago...Obama is not only your atypical candidate, he is your atypical BLACK candidate and because of that, a lot of fears were played upon in the very image, that much is known, now if you yourself has risen above the pettiness because you don't like his politics, then more power to you and I can shake your hand on that, but the pic was aimed at those whose politics squarely are aimed on 'appearances', 1/2 truths and misinformation. Those are the ones that feed off of the deception and play to people's fears as to why they shouldn't vote for him.
In essence, it misses the point of why the thinking and intelligent person, who sees past the surface wouldn't want him for president, but it hits the point why the fear mongerers and bottom dwellers don't want him for president.
