This is the sign of complete degradation of worst NY paper. It appeals to the darkest sides of human nature and is visual evidence of hate crime. Besides of that it is attack at our President. Full weighted criminal case.

Much ado about nothing. Check back and see the cartoons concerning Lincoln...who Obama is happy to be compared to. Welcome to the Presidency Mr. Obama.

Grow some skin. Stop reading into everything something that you find offensive. Been there, done that...and it doesn't do a bit of good. Unless the intended message by the *offended* is to propagate the idea of racism.
