America’s Tending To Go Toward The Left Poem by Joe Rosochacki

(“The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama’s right wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree, ” Obama’s campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement Sunday.)

Who’s actually behind this?
Is it leftists, Sandanista’s,
Or is it rightists or independents,
Or in the fact Hillaristas?

(Knowing the liberal politics of the magazine, I believe the magazine's staff when they say the illustration is meant ironically, as a parody of the caricature some conservatives (and some supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.) are painting of the Obamas...)

The AK-47,
the turban,
flag burning,
Osama bin Laden,
the ‘fro from the ‘60’s,
Angela Davis look.
Can’t wait till the end of the book.

Vanity Fair will not be outdone,
The magazine produced its tongue and cheek humor,
They had hopefully received press by someone.
The stereotypes were of Senator McCain and his wife Cindy,
Prescription bill bottles held by Cindy’s hand,
A walker used by McCain, and a portrait of George Bush hangs,
Above to Constitution that is burning in fireplace.
Across this land, it’s going to be a tight race.
