This is offensive but the monkey sock doll was not imo. The doll was adorable and any racist connotation came from the critics mind rather than the creator.

It's hilarious to see a dirty diaper democRat preach about morals and even more hilarious to assume there is any fear of Obama.
Fact is, buttons are the least of the problems facing America. After Michigan the Marxist Obama can do nothing about saving an economy which runs on oil. Obama was arm in arm with algore and he is now beholden to environmental-illness Global Warming Marxists.
Obama is in a corner and cannot break ranks and sign bills to drill, build new refineries or nuclear power plants. In other words, America's economy and morals will become a pathetic Obamanation...only if politically inept, history illiterate nitwits like you elect him.

This is obviously a setup. No political group would be stupid enough to support the selling of such an offensive item, especially one tailormade for the media to use to popularize one of their favorite propaganda pieces- that if you don't support the socialist Obama, it's because you are a racist.

See ?-----The damn Republicans always play to the worst in people.-----You don't hear them saying anything at all that is positive about their candidate.-----All they do is try to tear down the Democratic candidate, using fear, and lies, and anything else that might scare voters.-----But, there's nothing scarier than what the Republicans have done to our great country, during the past 8 years.-----Had enough ?-----Vote Democratic.-----Yes we can.

It was recently reported that they have changed their minds and will indeed sell the offensive item.

"Blacks must unite against the White Oppressor"...Michelle

Michelle who wants to be first lady wrote that in her thesis. Does anyone have a problem with that racist statement or is she allowed to harbor those feelings?

I can see all the paranoid racists getting worked up as they come to the realization we may have actually have our first Black President.

At Obama’s commencement speech he should give the old "Excuse me, while I whip this out" line.

What I would give to see the reaction to that.
