OK, so if someone published, in a magazine, a photoshopped pornographic picture of Michelle Obama, or of Barry himself “playing catch”, that should be OK, right?

It would be OK for Michelle, but not for Barack.

Hustler Magazine v. Falwell was a 1988 U.S. Supreme Court decision that held that the First Amendment protects parodies of public figures as long as they could not be reasonably taken as true.
