11/17/2008, Cover of New Yorker Magazine after Obama's election
Delusional Time.com notes: "Why is the cover great? It doesn't do a victory dance. Rather, it whispers to the reader (the tribe): "Everything's okay now — we have our country back."
It's set at night, a time when creepy things happen, but also a time
when people sleep, safe and sound.
It is beautifully rendered. Simply spectacular."

NY Times: Obama invited Ferguson protest leaders to White House on Wed., Nov. 5, day after midterms, urged them to "stay on course". The meeting didn't appear on Obama's White House schedule:
11/16/14, "In Ferguson, Tactics Set for Grand Jury Decision in Michael Brown Case," NY Times, John Eligon, Julie Bosman, Monica Davey
(5th parag. from end): "At
times, there has been a split between national civil rights leaders and
the younger leaders here, who see their efforts as more immediate, less
passive than an older generation’s....
Some of the national leaders met with President Obama on Nov. 5 for a gathering that included a conversation about Ferguson.
According
to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has appeared frequently in St. Louis with
the Brown family and delivered a speech at Mr. Brown’s funeral, Mr.
Obama “was concerned
about Ferguson staying on course
in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. He said he hopes that we’re doing all we can to keep peace.”"...
