This provactive New Yorker cartoon debuted over the weekend and immediately sparked a fury of discussion in the political world. It, of course, parodies all the stereotypes, bunk and rumors dogging the Obamas, but does it go too far in making the point? Barack Obama's campaign was none too pleased. Per CNN: "The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. "But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."

Readers ... your thoughts?
