I do not believe it has anything to do with race. There's a saying that goes "so simple a monkey can do it". Too many people are just too racially sensitive.

While I never like to see anyone reduced to an animal, even as caricature, if Obama were white this controversy wouldn't exist. If Delonas wanted to call the president a jackass, he could have drawn a donkey. It's even the symbol of the Dem party and would have expressed his opinion two ways. Thanks for your comment!

The comic offers no insight or intelligence and the joke just falls flat. Contrast that to the blatant depictions of George W Bush as some sort of monkey. It wasn't my favorite light to paint him in but in a lot of ways, it was apt. <abbr><em>Jack’s last blog post..<a href="http://boxofjack.com/articles/2009/02/21/links-for-2009-02-21/" rel="nofollow">links for 2009-02-21</a></em></abbr> Absolutely 100% agree with that last paragraph.
