A Fourth of July parade float that depicted a figure standing outside an outhouse labeled the Obama Presidential Library has created a stir on social media and is also receiving criticism in Norfolk, Nebraska.
The float, in Norfolks annual Independence Day parade, was on a flatbed trailer being pulled by a blue pickup truck. The figure was dressed in overalls and standing next to a walker outside of the outhouse. The hands and head of the figure were greenish and appeared to be zombielike; the hands were pressed against the sides of the figures head. Miniature American flags were atop the float and on the truck.
Neither the float nor the pickup identified a sponsor; a sign in the windshield said it was entry No. 29.
Liz Guthrie of Pierce, Nebraska, took a photo of the float that has been widely circulated on social media.
From where she watched the parade, Guthrie said she could hear the crowd laughing and clapping as the float passed by.
Norfolk resident Glory Kathurima said she attended the parade with her 9-year-old daughter. As a black woman living in Norfolk, Kathurima said she found the float to be an offensive depiction of the president. She emailed Norfolk Mayor Sue Fuchtman as well as the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce and the Norfolk Daily News to voice her disapproval. She also wrote to the Norfolk Odd Fellows Lodge, which coordinated the parade.

The TV station was showing its pro-Obama bias instead of shedding light on the actual spirit of the community (which is clearly fed up with Obama).
Just another example of trying to influence the news instead of simply reporting it.
The TV station had to profile to find the person.
Will someone in Norfolk, NE please tell the “Black” woman that the “Obama Presidential Libarary float, is not racist, nor offensive, for the simple reason that Barack Hussein Obama is not an African-American...he is a Muslim, America Hater, from head to toe...period, working actively to destroy the United States of America!!!!!! Hail, Hitler, Alinsky, Wright, Ayres, etc. End of story!!!
As a white Nebraskan who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, I see nothing wrong with this expression of free speech. I find the POS democrat currently crapping on the Constitution and the office to be offensive.
Lady, your opinions are yours and you are welcome to take them along with the kenyan bastard you voted for along with the democrat party and stuff it.
FUBO, FAD
It is time.
Not that I object to your visual flashback, but I seem to recall that the float you show was somewhere in Europe.
Obama should have no trouble filling it ,LOL
His election was the perfect crime.
What exactly would be in the library since everything in his world is sealed and we are not allowed to see?
The only way to be patriotic and respect the Presidency is to disrespect the piece of subhuman pig excrement that has stolen it, bitterly hates America and Americans, and is doing its level, evil best to destroy all the good that is genuinely American. HOORAY FOR THE FLOAT!!!
“Obama is scum for saying that knowing the racial connotation.”
For many of the things this arrogant individual has done, he is lower than scum.
