Barack Obama The Monkey Puppet
IN AMERICAN: “A toy being sold over the internet by a Utah couple is causing an uproar from supporters of democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.”
What is it?
“It’s a sock monkey wearing a suit with a lapel pin for Obama. Supporters of Obama have been filling online forums and blogs with angry words over what they see as the degrading depiction of a black man as a monkey.” So says abc4.com.
It’s so wrong. You can read about how wrong it is to portray politicians and presidents as monkeys here, here, here , here, here, here, and Curious Obama here…

They have done things like this in the past to poke fun at potential persons for office, and history records some funny events. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DOLL MAKER!!!

I think the doll is representative of a child’s toy and should be viewed as such. Certain cultures should stop crying and leave the past the past.
