Let's start out with Jon Stewart's insightful take on this situation...

Barack Obama is in no way upset about the cartoon depicting him as a muslim extremist.  'Cause you know who gets upset about cartoons? Muslims extremists, of which Barack Obama is not. It's just a fucking cartoon.

From Wiktionary, in case we've forgotten...

fuss, noun (plural fusses): (countable or uncountable) excessive activity, worry, bother, or talk about something; complaint or noise ; an exhibition of affection or admiration.

Yup. That's about it.

The cartoon cover was snark, plain and simple. Snark that few understood (as can be seen in the Stewart piece), but snark nonetheless.
