Marietta, GA: Obama as a cartoon monkey

bar in Marietta, Georgia recently began selling t-shirts showing the face of Curious George, a cartoon monkey, with "Obama in '08" below it. While the owner of the bar admits that he is mocking Obama's appearance, he insists that his intentions are not racist.

Although it is true that many critics of George Bush compare him to a monkey, we assert that there is, in fact, a fundamental difference between calling a white person and black person a monkey.
