you may not like to hear this, but Obama is your President and things like this aren't funny. They're grossly disrespectful and if someone did this while GWB were President you would have probably burst an artery.
You must have slept thru Bush's time in office.
I do find it disrespectful as I found the effigies, Bush in a noose, etc. disrespectful but lefties crying about it like they have never seen a President mocked before would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
Many Americans are uncouth and tactless. And common sense is at an all time low. Hyperbole is at an all time high and people don't even know what that word means (see post 40). There isn't much thinking going on when it comes to "socially acceptable", it's either over the top hate and the "free speech dare me to shut up" crap or "waaah you're oppressing me with using a word I've deems racist/sexist/homophobic".
Some of use in between get a laugh out of it, and also feel sick over the fact that we have to live with all of them/you. Sorry.
What's funny is that conservatives are claiming it's not currently disrespectful, but were once peeved enough to still have quick access to prior acts of disrespect.
I provided it. (with google you always have quick access to many things). I said it wasn't a big deal either way.
Whatever. The most fundamental, important form of free speech is criticizing, lampooning and even being vulgar towards our political class. It's the basis for the 1st Amendment's existence, the protecting of political free speech.
The President of the US is not a monarch, emperor, or demigod. He's an elected official in the position of the most scrutiny and most subject to criticism. That's the job and it has downsides. Americans are too easily offended and need to get over themselves. It's a freaking joke, and a decently subtle and funny one at that.
Free speech, get over it.
Great post, and I couldn't agree more. I'm glad to live in a country where one is free to express their unhappiness with their elected officials. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I saw this and I laughed. I recall seeing similar ones when Bush was in office and I laughed then, too.
This is America. The first amendment is one of our most precious and cherished rights, and that's true even when we disagree with others when they exercise that right.
"Your" president is a serial killer. To start with, he and hog meat killed four good Americans at Benghazi. He is responsible for many more, both of them are. He allows the slaughter of thousands by his incompetence and cowardice.
Yep, I even support classless, lowlife, despicable free speech like this. And the good thing about free speech is it allows the lowlife classless among us to show themselves so we know who we're dealing with.

Don't be so hard on yourself, after you have the opportunity to experience life a little longer, perhaps you won't have such a low opinion of yourself.. There is still hope...

Why did you feel the need to personally attack this poster for simply noting they support free speech whether they agree with the speech or not? You are unable to provide a rebuttal to that so you just attack?
ATTENTION non-liberals: We have the right to free speech in this country.
We DO have the right to be offended by the free speech of others.
This display is immature and just plain stupid.
