The "New Yorker" cover page makes fun of the sad fact that vast swaths of voters actually believe that the Obama's depicted in the cartoon are real.  But, it also shines a light on the units of the media machine that have inadvertently helped perpetuate the rumors and innuendo that have led to mis-perceptions about the Obama's patriotism.  

    Now that's offensive.

 The inability of Obama supporters to appreciate that sort of irony is offensive as well, since they know all to well, the cartoon, in its outrageousness and non-PC style, does exactly that.
