This is kind of an interesting situation, in my mind - Obama is the President, but authored about zero percent of the stimulus bill. Is his standing as President enough to invoke racial overtones in the cartoon regardless? (Clearly there will be a subtext of some degree no matter what)

regardless...that 19th century mentality is a no...
remember these gems?
Limbaugh and Curious George
Bar gets sued over monkey shirt
GOP's stuffed monkey at Palin rally
See why this doesn't fly?
It's a lame way to try and tie in the chimp shooting with the stimulus bill and Obama's (or any black person) heritage.
I have viewed some of his other work and clearly he is not a fan of Obama and is provoctive, but no big deal, but this crosses the line.
ETA: Interesting...he is accused of gay bashing also... Delonas BAAAAD cartoon
