OK, that’s just reaching. People who manage to link that chimp to Obama are in the category of ‘though doth protest too much’. They see him as a chimp themselves.

Anyone understanding the context of the cartoon knows this is total bullish*t.

But the media is happy to create the impression that the paper depicted Obama as a chimp.

Bush was the president compared to a chimp, the media is again revealing their latent racism.

This ditz must think Soetoro is smart enough to write a “stimulus” bill. If I were the judge, I’ve give her 5 seconds to get the hell out of my court. “Stimulus” was written by a bunch of greedy old white men in the ‘RAT Party. They’re all rich now. That cartoon doesn’t say a dang thing about Soetoro.

Why even compare him to a member of the ape family, or even any chordate, the guy is more like a shiftless shapeless squishy brain easting amoeba

Yep, reaching. The cartoon says that Obamacare was written by idiots but I don’t think anyone is claiming Obama personally wrote those 1200 pages on nonsense.

But th math is still prettyu simple:
Complaining about the government=complaining about Obama=rascism

GW Bush was compared to a chimp all the time by the left.
It was a form of criticism.
No criticism of Obama is allowed, though, and the “racist” accusation is what shields him.

I find this cartoon offensive. Who can I sue?

But Obama didn’t write the stimulus bill....

Like that, Obamacare, and everything else, he just sits back and becomes the PR spokesman for whatever the left wing of the Democrat party gives him.

Chimp my ass, the -resident is a chump or possibly even Valerie Jarretts hump.
Most definitely he is married to the worlds biggest rump.

And what about the CNN reporter that called Bush a chimp on air?

“.. some people said likened President Barack Obama to a chimpanzee. ...”

Horrors!

I should hope that the chimpanzee sues.

Many people, including blacks, voted for Obama "because" he is black. They are racists.
