Barack Obama Schools Larry King On New Yorker Cover
 Thursday, July 17th, 2008  by Connie T.

This was a goosebumps-moment, even if you're not politically aligned with Barack Obama. Barack was on Larry King on Tuesday night, and Larry asked about the subject the mass media has been hashing and rehashing all week: the infamous New Yorker magazine cover.

When we first saw the mag's cover - depicting Michelle Obama and Barack standing face-to-face wearing hippie Military vs. Muslim garb - we thought, Well, there are idiots out there. Some of them can draw. And that was the end of it, as far as we were concerned. But for some reason this qualifies as Earth-shattering, discuss-it-all-week material in the MSM.

So Barack's response likely echoed what many of us thinking: are those your real issues, Larry? CNN?

"Well, I know it was the New Yorker's attempt at satire. I don't think they were entirely successful with it, but you know what? It's a cartoon, Larry.

"That's why we've got the first amendment.

"And I think the American people are probably spending a little more time worrying about what's happening with the banking and the housing market, what's happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, than a cartoon.

"So I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about it."

THANK you! He couldn't have said it more perfectly. And then Larry continues to ask about it. Hey, Barack, if we vote for you, could you fire CNN? Like, the entire network?
