Ever since the Obama White House got rid of that colonial era bust of on-loan from Great Britain, they've been on the lookout for new less offensive art.

Now we learn, thanks to Howard Kurtz on CNN, that Obama adviser David Axelrod made a call to the editor of the New Yorker magazine requesting a copy of the Feb. 1 cover of the magazine showing No. 44 walking on water. (No, not the newly-resurfaced Gulf of Mexico.)

The only stipulation: the cover art had to be autographed by artist Barry Blitt.

Guess Barry and Axelrod have nothing better to do than negotiating with Remnick over some cartoon images. Not only is Barry reaching the heights of narcissism unparalleled in the history of the White House, but Remnick is now giving gushing interviews about his role in the bargaining.

Soon he will be able to walk on the Gulf of Mexico. He’s such a load of whale excrement

Funny that.
Sigmund Freud once diagnosed Woodrow Wilson as subconciously identifying himself with Jesus Christ.

Look at Posting #1, the cover in question. I’m at a loss for words.

There is one way to gauge how messiah-like Obama is... Crucify him dead and wait three days. I’m free this Friday - it is for science you know!

That poor share-cropper is 10 times the man Barack Obama will ever be!...and doesn’t realize it.

1. Good graphic!

2. The saddest part is that Obama would look, laugh, and then feel he’d done a good deed by flattering Jesus with the comparison.
