It's not a question of what would have been better for the Obama campaign or its supporters, myself included.

It's only a question, as far as the New Yorker is concerned (and by extension the rest of the mass media which is indulging in a feeding frenzy) to exploit the celebrity status of the Obamas for their own gain.

But I do agree that there may be a lesson learned from this cartoon, as Genie is also hoping will happen.
