Definately racism. They depicted Obama as a black guy! Assholes!
Have you looked at the box? There is a video clip I suppose I should post (see below). On the back he is in a sombrero erasing the US-Mexican border with a giant eraser. On the top he is a in a turban and the box says "point toward Mecca for best flavor." On one side there are rap lyrics that I would think mock black culture in a pretty severe way...No, just satire.
But I guess it is satire, I mean it is tasteless and mocks several cultures, particularly blacks, but surely not racist. Just in terrible taste.
Eh whatever, I am sure if it were 2000 and someone on the right were selling a Joe Liberman piggy bank with lots of commentary about how cheap Jews and pork that would just be satire as well. and surely no one would care.

I didn't think it was funny. I wasn't offended in the slightest by it, but then again, I am not offended by much.
Liberman... hehehe... now that guy's a joke I can laugh at!
