I'm not sure what you are saying Heric.

Satire holds up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn. or it is trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly

The question is, whether it is satiric or not.

Obviously, DougR doesn't think so. I like it as is.

Amos doesn't think you for different reasons.

I don't think so. I think that they were trying to have it both ways.

If you or anyone else really think that the shot was taken at those smearing Obama and against them only, may I point out that, that impression must come from your imagination. because it is certainly not on the page.
