New Yorker Mag Cover: Funny or Offensive?

Does the new cover of the New Yorker magazine go to far?
The cover shows Barack Obama and his wife standing in the oval office, him dressed like traditional Muslim and Michelle resembling a terrorist with a machine gun strapped across her back.
They’re giving each other a fist bump while a picture of Osama Bin Laden hangs on the wall and an American flag burns in the fire place.
According to the AP, the Obama campaign spokesman said the cartoon was "tasteless and offensive".
McCain has also condemned it, according to MSNBC.
The New Yorker says the over the top cover was meant to be political satire.
