The picture you see is of a Barack Obama Sock Puppet Doll marketed by an enterpreneurial couple in West Jordan, Utah. However, the lefty blogosphere and now the local Utah media have gotten hold of the story and are trying to start a witch hunt against the couple.

ugly effing thing.... blacks and monkeys in some parts of the US is a racial slur... i would first want to know the intent, and from the link the intent is:


The company selling the monkey is registered to David and Elizabeth Lawson of West Jordan, according to Utah Department of Commerce records.
According to the Web site, its makers created the "cute and cuddly toy" because they were proud of Obama's achievements and to introduce children to the political process.
"We hope you love the Obama toy as much as we do," the site says.

not sure why they chose a monkey, maybe curious george type thing and kids love curious george, hell, he made me eat my bananas and i thought bananas were slimey and disgusting, but george liked em, so i ate them

doesn't matter, if you don't like obama you are a racist, regardless of your reasons, he has the silver platter of defenses, just ask our new full time preacher, he'll tell you that your criticism of obama is racist and doesn't matter because you wouldn't vote for him anyways....
