Hi Mr Hyde
I can only hope you are joking. These "wealthy, powerful and racist individuals" don't really need to see this cartoon in order to vote against Obama. (BTW, there are plenty of wealthy and powerful people supporting Obama too). Interestingly enough, many of those opposed to Obama because of his race, aren't really rich and powerful - they are working class whites making under 55K (going by opinion and exit polls in PA, OH, WV etc)
"Why did they pick a domestic magazine of the wealthy instead of international ones like Time or Newsweek for the cover? Get the idea?"
What are you talking about? Time and Newsweek doing satire on their cover? That's not their league. On the other hand, the New Yorker, considered by many to be left-leaning, has done satire forever.
Also, who exactly is "they" that's picking what cartoons to put where?
