A little, but if, as you say, it's a satire magazine then it's to be expected. Satirists have a long and noble history of stepping over lines.
The difference with the original post is that the
New Yorker is a supposedly respectable news and information magazine. On the other hand, my impression is that they were trying to insult, not Obama, but the people who keep saying those kinds of things about him. At first glance it looks to be the other way around. Either way, I think it was overly political for that kind of publication.
