Campaigns denounce upcoming New Yorker cover


(NECN) - Both Campaigns are denouncing the upcoming cover of the New Yorker magazine.

The magazine shows Obama in full Muslim dress standing next to his wife Michelle, who's carrying a machine gun.

An Obama campaign spokesperson called the cover tasteless and offensive. A sentiment echoed by the McCain campaign.
