They say it makes him look like an ape. I'm not so sure I agree. I have seen hundreds of political cartoons with facial and other features greatly exaggerated as a caricature. Bush looked more like an ape in just about every cartoon I saw of him.
Why is he bald? It makes no sense. Cartoons are supposed to exaggerate people's features. He doesn't have buck teeth - this cartoon has no likeness to Obama.
Usually he's drawn with big ears and very white teeth, what's up with the big upper lip. This cartoon looks more like a dark version of President Ford.

You're right, it doesn't look anything like Obama. I wouldn't say it's racist as much as it shows the artist doesn't have much talent for caricature.
It sounds like he is just made at a private site cutting him off for a depiction they don't like and he is intent on stirring up trouble. Seems like not a big deal.
That cartoon isn't racist it doesn't make him look like an ape --- and the cartoon doesn't look like Obama or an ape.
They used to refer to Bush as "The chimp" and they would try to make him look like a chimpanzee. That wasn't racist either.
