I am not sure exactly how I feel. Part of me laughs but then I think of all the people that think that is true.
I have mixed feelings too. If it was in some other publication I would be horrified. I know they were trying to be satirical, but I'm not sure it worked.
It's clumsy, I think. The net effect will be "suspicions confirmed" or "doubts resuscitated" for many (as Molly says), and I think the New Yorker had to anticipate this. They wanted effect, and they got it. I hope the article which reportedly contains "a 15,000-word story about Obama's political education and early years in Chicago" offsets the cover damage and restores some balance to the debate.
Talk of the Nation is having this exact discussion right now. I am sure you can download it on NPR.com. I listened to a few minuets while I took an ice cream study break.
I agree with Trish clumsy is a great word.
I'll look for that podcast, Molly. Thanks.
