@jaredvcxz: Possibly, but probably not. Then again that is a whole other can of worms. After all, thousands of innocent people haven't died under Obama... yet. So he doesn't really have as much scorn directed at him.
The bottom line is that if people would wake up and realize that this was just satirizing congress and the recent monkey incident, they wouldn't be upset. They aren't pissed because it's a tasteless joke, they're pissed because their convinced it's racist. Because fucking EVERYTHING is racist now. For christ's sake, I even encountered plenty of people telling me if I didn't support Obama I was a fucking racist. That's how paranoid our country is about racism.
And on your other little side note, Obama just sent thousands more troops into Afghanistan...not that it matters, I mean after all the liberal american media wouldn't want THAT to get spread around too much; can't be saying anything bad about Obama, now.
