Cartoon
This is from one of the McClatchy newspapers - not a conservative bunch by any means.

Yesterday's cartoon collection
from Bob Geiger's site.

That's what the cartoon says, but Obama signed it..nm

I'm reminded of an old Playboy cartoon

Nasty-looking old guy holding open one side of his overcoat: Psssst! Dirty postcards?

Pssst! Dirty bullets?

Did the bad cartoon hurt your wittle feelings?
Ugh, get over it already.

Notwithstanding the racist nature of this cartoon,
it wasn't even funny!! What a moron for an editor!!

Please explain how this is racism, when the same cartoon could be applied to any president?
