Barack Obama on the 'New Yorker' Cover: Shrug
With Larry King preempting a discussion about Obama's major foreign policy address (watch it here) yesterday in favor of asking questions about the latest New Yorker cover, Barack Obama tries to steer the media in a more productive direction.
"I've seen and heard worse. I do think that in attempting to satirize something, they probably fueled some misconceptions about me instead. But that was their editorial judgment. Ultimately it's a cartoon and not something that Americans should really be worrying about."
Duly noted. Video after the jump.

Just brush the haters off, Barack!
exactly, Nicole. It's good to see that Barack refuses to play a victim of this.
Thank God he just moved on. Unlike so many fools who were acting like this was the end of the world.

I disagree
If Americans don't understand satire, it is yet another sign that our schools are failing.

Totaly!
Daria,
I see what Obama's saying about you also bring up a good point. Americans love to coddle the village idiot.
