Newspapers Could Not Keep Up with Demand After Obama's Landslide Victory as First Black President of the USA

The closest I could get to a New York Times Newspaper:

Newspaper selling became the sought-after product the day after Obama was elected president of the United States. I could not find one of the popular papers I usually read. Already, they are selling like hot potatoes on ebay and elsewhere.

New Yorker Magazine Cover Shows Obama Satire

Regarding the controversial New Yorker cover, Barack Obama defends the magazine's right to print it, but said it furthered misconceptions about him.

The cover showed Obama dressed in Muslim garb and fist-bumping his wife in the Oval Office while the American flag burns in the fireplace. The magazine's editors said yesterday it was an attempt to show how Obama's foes were resorting to the politics of fear.

"Well, I know it was The New Yorker's attempt at satire," Obama says in an interview that is to air tonight on CNN's "Larry King Live." I don't think they were entirely successful with it. But you know what? It's a cartoon, Larry, and that's why we've got the First Amendment.
