Sorry - and I know I’ll catch a lot of heat for this - but I don’t buy this argument. The cartoon was in horrible taste. The link of a monkey to Obama is easy to see.
I am a right leaning conservative and I abhor politcal correctness as much as Obama’s socialist policies - but this cartoon should not have made it on the pages of one of my two favorite newspapers - the other being the Wall Street Journal.

“The link of a monkey to Obama is easy to see”....Now THAT’s Racist!!! :)
Get over it ~ if this sort of thing (showing the President as a monkey) didn't bring us together as a nation in the past, then why do the Democrats indulge in the practice.
I say it's good for community building and harmony. Those who are offended will jump up, scream, and become targets for the new National Volunteer Security Force.
The link of a monkey to Obama is easy to see.
Especially since the gubment doesn’t want us to even give a hint that intelligent design may have something to do with our creation, then HE must have evolved from a monkey.
Sure, if you're one of the perpetually offended class.
Otherwise it's quite a stretch, since the caption clearly refers to WRITING a bill, and O'bama didn't WRITE the bill.
It's clearly referrring to Reid and Pelosi, but that doesn't bring in the racism bucks, so keep trying.
You will get no heat from me. This cartoon was in very bad taste and does nothing to further the conservative cause.
as you should due to the phrase in your next paragraph.
...I abhor politcal correctness...
If so, then this should be funny as all get-outs and I know,
...THAT'S RACIST!
Really? Obama did not write the bill and publicly said he hadn't read it. I think you are too easily offended.
When I look at the cartoon, I see “Obama = Chimp” in the sense of incompetent “monkeying” with the economy.
When you look at the cartoon, apparently you see “Obama = Chimp” in the sense of “sometimes in the past, people have equated black people with monkeys”.
I see nothing to do with Obama’s race in my interpretation of the cartoon. But YOU do.
In my book, that makes YOU the racist — not me.
I got a good laugh from the cartoon, and I’ll continue to laugh at it without guilt, and pass it on to everyone I know that I think will appreciate the humor.
Obama didn’t write the stimulus bill. Obama hasn’t read the stimulus bill. Obama doesn’t even know what he signed.
The cartoon is about those who wrote the stimulus bill.
Just like when Obama referred to Palin in his “putting lipstick on a pig”. The only difference is that dems always get a free pass in such situations and scream bloody murder when it happens to them.
The link to Obama is invisible. The link is to the simian congresscritters who wrote the bill, led, not by Obama, but by the botox bitch from San Francisco.
Obama was criticized for voting present often during his legislative career. He has already figured out you do it as president – just sign whatever your 'Rat congress passes.
It is not easy to see as far as I am concerned.
Hmmmmm, I wonder why some see it and some don’t?
I wondered some while ago if the owner was going to sell it to a conservative...
