Crazy OBAMA Illustrated in "the New Yorker"

I know we're making history in this country, with the first black presidential candidate and all. I also know that politics is a dirty game. What I don't know is how much racism from the collective unconscious of America will have to spew forth before we can move forward into a new day. Presumably, the muck-slinging has just begun, and I'm sure its going to get worse. The preview was Hillary, and her forthright attacks on Obama's race and class. I can only imagine what McCain is going to come with.
Case in point is the below illustration. Boy, the dude who drew this must really be scared. In his mind, he must equate blackness with anarchy and chaos, as is evidenced by the flag burning in the fireplace and a portrait of Bin Laden on the wall. He also has Michelle dressed like some neo-militant, and has Barack in traditional middle eastern garb. To add to this, they're giving each other the "terrorist" handshake...which just happens to be the ol skool greeting of choice amongst folks, but I guess white America doesn't know that?? Strange. I guess its supposed to be funny. Hardy ha ha...
