The photo depicts “President Obama” in the Oval Office, wearing a Muslim-style outfit and doing a fist-bump with his wife, Michelle, who’s donning an afro and is dressed in camouflage and combat boots.

The New Yorker says the July 21 2008 cover entitled, “The Politics of Fear” is intended to be satirical. In a statement, the magazine says the cover “combines a number of fantastical images about the Obama’s and shows them for the obvious distortions they are.”

An excerpt from the article:

Obama has been providing plenty of plastic for the flip-flop factories with the adjustments he’s been making as he retools his campaign for the general election. Under headlines like “IN CAMPAIGN, ONE MAN’S PRAGMATISM IS ANOTHER’S FLIP-FLOPPING,” the big papers have been assembling quite a list of matters on which the candidate has “changed his position,” including Iraq, abortion rights, federal aid to faith-based social services, capital punishment, gun control, public financing of campaigns, and wiretapping. Most of them are mere shifts of emphasis, some are marginal tweaks, and a few are either substantive or nonexistent.
