See, I always thought that that particular cartoon was more "poorly thought through" than "overtly racist". There had been a "rampaging chimp eats a lady's face and gets shot by the cops" story a week or two before the stimulus hoopla and the cartoonist defended himself by reminding everyone that it is Congress, not the President, that writes bills. Undoubtedly it is poorly thought outand full of unfortunate implications, but the cartoon would have made sense no matter who was President.
