so what do myLotters think of the recent cartoon printed by the NY Post?
Would really like your opinion on this one.
The paper apologized to those who were offended and that they didn't mean anything by it...Bull...they know exactly what they meant, who else signs stimulus packs?
I think that was disrespectful and very immature of the NY Post and whoever the cartoonist is!!
what do you think?

I think that the man that wrote the article, knew what he ment, and that is why he had the article printed up, I don't think he approved of the stimulus package, alot of the republican were again this package, so they thought this cartoon was funny, using the monkey he thought it would be a big joke, well sorry Mr no one is laughing, I didn't think it was funny, I saw it here on Mylot the day it came out, this man that wrote the article, knew he was in hot water that is why he apologized. angry

I actually thought it was hilarious...what they were trying to say is that a monkey could have a better chance of fixing our economy than most of our politicians would...or that the stimulus package looked as if a monkey had written it...I don't think they meant anything racial by it, but of course Al Sharpton and some other people who like to piss and moan all the time about something would take it as a racial attack...

HEY AL...GET A REAL JOB LOL

I guess we all perceive things differently, but to tell you the truth, I don't care who/what they compare him to as long as he does the job we are paying him to do. People compared George W. Bush to an elephant because they said he had big ears, but no one cried foul on that one...

I can't believe that people are worried about a cartoon with the way our country is in trouble. I'm more worried about the fact that the stimulus bill was passed so fast that no one had a chance to read it let alone study it.
What about all the pictures of Bush and the monkeys no one complained about them. With any political cartoon you get out of it what you want to.

President Obama gave the Stimulus package to Congressional Democrats to write or should I say fill with their pet projects. All appropriations bill must come through the House of Representatives. To me the cartoon is saying that they are all a bunch of monkeys and I think he should apologize to the Monkey Species for such an insulting comparison. Even monkeys have better sense that.

I didn't see it but NY Post should know better, that is a racist cartoon, blacks have been told they look like monkeys and apes or not much better than them since they came to north america. The paper should be sued.

It was my understanding that the cartoon referred to who wrote it not signed it. So essentially I think it was referring more to Pelosi?
