Yesterday, in The New York Post, the "cartoon" above was shown on page six, causing many Americans to feel disgusted and outraged. This was a reference to the chimpanzee who was killed by Connecticut police, after a friend of the chimpanzee's owner was attacked. However, it is also a reference to our commander-in-chief, President Barack Obama. Does the press have to stoop this low to call our leader a chimpanzee, to get people to read what they call news? The New York Post could not be more unprofessional, and unpatriotic for that matter. Our president should not be depicted in any such way- EVER. We have overcome the times of Jim Crow, and it makes no sense that in 2009, people have the mentality to think that this is a laughing matter. I am ashamed to say that this is not the first time it has happened (The New Yorker, July 21, 2008) and will not be the last. It just goes to show you why The New York Post is behind The New York Times and The Daily News in the number of readers, and I am sure that this "cartoon" did not help any.
