Fact is, the current president has been displayed as a chimp on this very forum, probably by some of the very members complaining about the Obomma chimp caracature. I didn;t see Obomma complaining when the same tactic was used against Bush. Why are Dimmercrats surprised when their own tactics are turned against them??

No complaints here...offensive or not, don't deny the intent. Portraying Bush as a chimp is intended to be offensive. Doing the same for Obama gets the same effect, but with the added tone of racism due to the association of apes to blacks hailing from the early era of this noble country's history.
The point is, the shirt was meant to illicit a chuckle from the Obama opposition, or a snarl from supporters. We all get that. What I don't buy is that he plays ignorant with regards to how chose to bring about his intended effect...
