Left is an art gallery image of Obama holding his two beautiful girls. The exhibit is entitled, "Nappy Headed Hos."It is hard to imagine someone branding two lovely, little girls with such an ugly, adult moniker. I don't know the artist's intent, but his exhibit serves as a warning that an Obama presidency will bring out the best and the worst in America.
Political leaders, presidents in particular, are considered to be fair game for the most demeaning jokes. Every self styled comedian can, without retribution, feel free tell any joke about Carter's brother, Ford/Reagan's memory, Kennedy/Clinton's or sex life. Its not right or wrong. It simply is.
Hence, you should expect every comedian, cartoonist, talk show host, drinking buddy, or randomn jokey yahoo you know to make jokes about President Obama. Some will be thoughtful. Most will be cheap shots, and many will simply be a rehash of the racist jokes we've heard for decades.
Get used to it.
