I saw this picture of Michell Obama on google that was adulterated to make her look like an Ape and a Critical look showed that google was really giving it very high page ranking. Personally i thought, thiswas a bit going too far-do we have any ethics in google any more to allow such a picture to show and continously receive page ranking?
See the picture here for yourself and give your comments.

I think such pictures are fine. Democrats did such things with President Bush's pics many time, so they shouldn't have a problem. Think freedom of speech - it is just someone expressing what they feel. If such a picture were to be labeled art, then you could display any disgusting statement you want.
Still not convinced. Let me assure you that if you get on the wrong side of Barack Hussein, he'll do a lot more than modify your picture.

That's just RUDE! I hate to say this but its part of being in the limelight. You must take the good with the bad. Not that I am condoning it. It comes along with freedom of speech. I think that people should know who did this. As I was reading the article the person reporting didnt give the names of the site because he didnt want to give them publicity. The way people view Mrs. Obama is positive. He may get eaten alive. This may kill his career. Just from the short time it took me to view the site and read about it, I could sense the hostility. That's just from you, the reporter, and me. Imagine world wide? Unfortunately we must take the good with the bad. However, If we dwell on it, the creators of the photo win. If we look at it, give our opinion, and then move on, WE WIN! Michelle Obama portrays an everyday woman, mother, and wife. She's far from an ape. dl
