Look at the bright side; if it wasn’t for double standards liberals would have no standards at all.
In the era of Obama; even rodeo clowns are a source of scandal.
But abandoning Navy SEALS in a battle is totally fine.
Sickening.
There have been Obama masks since he became president just as there have been masks of other presidents such as Bush.
You can buy a full, pullover, vinyl mask of Obama on the internet for $10-$15. Probably also available at your local costume shop.
Why then is this particular Obama mask controversial while the other Obama masks have not been controversial?
Masks are actually caricatures and as such Obama masks feature large teeth and big ears. And this rodeo clown Obama mask also features large teeth and big ears.
But the rodeo mask also features Obama as having thick lips and blue gums/lips.
So, instead of trying to compare this mask of Obama to masks of Bush, you need to compare this Obama mask to other Obama masks.
TELL THEM HOW YOU REALLY FEEL! I have!
This skit has been around since the 1960s when Lyndon Johnson was the “dummy”. I worked rodeos then and saw it often.
How the skit works.
Rodeo clowns work in teams. One yells he is going to bring out a dummy for the bulls to hit, he then drags out the dummy, often with the mask of a current politician, and props it up with a broomstick.
When the bull come out, often the bull will buck away from the dummy.
The the next bull and rider may buck toward the dummy in which the dummy jumps to life, grabs the broomstick, whops the bull on the butt, and runs for the fence with the bull after him. This gives a thrown rider a chance to get away in the opposite direction.
The audience always loves it.
The WhiteHouse needs to get those pics.
