Shit, it's 1989 again....please kill me.

Well there’s this in the comments:

“i feel like i should at least offer up my own thought process from when the idea was brought up at a staff meeting …

i gave a thumbs up to this cover idea because i thought it simultaneously poked mild fun at the obama-frenzy that’s sweeping america …

we’ve poked fun of every other major political figure in our country’s history, black or white. it’s why satire is protected by American laws. edwards absolutely would have gotten the same treatment and he has more hair (it could have been blowing in the wind, the one thing this romance cover is missing).
