I get the joke but...

I really love New Yorker magazine. Its definitely one of my favorite publications. And I know there's a history of political cartoons in our country. I also know the above cartoon is meant to be satirical about the lies and innuendo spread about Obama. But the well respected publication is not doing him a service by putting this image in broad public view. This kind of image gets in people's heads. Its a one day story, but feeds into the most ridiculous of lies about Obama.
