C'mon guys...This cartoon isn't really that bad. I thought it was done in good taste, and it did a good job at showing how the opposition likes to portray Obama.

Perhaps they should have captioned it with: Hussien Obama. So that there is no confusion about it being satire.
I think the problem isn't with the left knowing this is satire, but that the picture is being used by some supporters of the right. Whether they know it as satire or not (I would imagine many would have understood the original intent), apparently this is being used by opponents of Obama to help spread their anti-Obama message.
