KTLA On The Street Asks: What do you think of the new cover of The New Yorker magazine, which depicts Barack Obama as a Muslim, his wife as a Black Militant, and features a burning U.S. flag in the fireplace and a portrait of Osama Bin Laden on the wall of the White House.

the truth is; Mccain is a joke.

Too old to be president.john himself, the people who serve him...they belong in a museum.

BUSH deserves to be impeached. The country is falling apart all around you, and the Republicans haven't done a thing for the past

12 years but shit on the CONSTITUTION, and YOU

and you still support them!

[blackkittygamer]

you they tried to get the "intellectual" black man to try and back up Obama. Really it just makes them look dumb too. It's a joke get over it. If you were to see this on the Simpsons or on Family Guy then every one would point and laugh.

The typical obamadroid doesn't seem to have any sense of humor.

I wouldn't call Obama a racist but I'm certain race is all he sees.

Newjer since you sound so very intelligent I hate to ask but what is the significance of 12years? Bush was elected 8 years ago.

6) 1% of Americans homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember it's congress that makes the laws,

not the President.

He has to work with what's handed to him.

It is amazing how many ignorant people think Bush is screwing them. If Obama is elected he will repeal Bush's tax cuts... By then, you & I will be scammed out of our money, but the only thing is you won't even know what happened.

Thought you might like some facts:

In 2006: 1)Consumer confidence stood at a 2/12 yr high; 2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gal.; 3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet; 2) The cost of regular gas soar to over $4.00 a gal.; 3) Unemployment is up t0 5% (a 10% increase); 4) Americans have seen $2.3 trillon in equity value evaporate (stocks & mutual funds); 5) Home equity dropped by $1.2 trillion dollars:

The construction worker had the most intelligent response. The New Yorker was making fun of the stupid Right Wingers at Fox News who asked if the fist bump was a "terrorist fist jab."

Remember: Barack Hussein Obama chooses to shame working class Americans because he, like the good Marxist that he is, is angry & frustrated with them for having resisted

the indoctrination into the culture of government dependancy that the left has

worked so hard to create. Nothing screws up the goal of total government

dependancy like an American with a job & their own health care. And the more

successful they are, the more they will be punished.

2)Obama proposes to keep spending money on programs that make our problems worse & create new ones that are modeled on big government programs that created much of the fiscal mess we are in. That type of change doesn't trust Americans to know what is right or what is in their own best interests. Also, he wants to cut our military & security forces in half! Obama also thinks we can improve health care by driving Americans into a new system(Socialism) of government orders, regulations & mandates.

1) Senator Barack Husswin Obama seems to think government is the answer to every problem; that government should take our resources (TAX Money) & make our decisions for us & keep us miserly equal & poor.

No, trahouston I call Obama a racist because if you read his first book on numerous occasions he writes about being prejudiced against so called "whites." I don't follow into the school of that being okay, though obviously you do. The changes on offshore drilling are because that issue is an EXTREMELY complicated problem at every angle.(Read about it okay? Not everybody is going to be able to run out and buy an electric car.)
