How does a political caricature artist make a cartoon about Obama without being called a racist?
Q. A political cartoon is usually a caricature that physically makes fun of the subject person. Since our president is obviously black looking, how does a political cartoonist do a satirical cartoon making fun of his prominent features w/o being called a racist? Is this a touchy subject?

A. you can't say or do anything referring to obama in a negative light without being called a racist. disagree with his fiscal policies? you are a racist. disagree with his national policies? you are a racist. think he has big ears? you are a racist. welcome to the Obama-nation. as for voting against him... I did...as did most of my state...enough of us voted against him to keep this state electors from voting for him. however, we were outvoted by the dumb-masses who believed in 'hope and change'. the stock market's at a six year low, unemployment's at a 10 year high...Obama threatens that delaying his stimulus package will cause irrepairable damage to the economy... that 'hope and change' is starting to look a lot like fear-mongering [cont.]

A. Any murder of a public figure which is carried out for polictical motives is, by definition, an assassination. There have been thousands of murders which can be classed as assassinations over recorded history, as well as many unsuccessful assassination attempts. Some particularly well-publicised examples of assassinations in relatively recent times include: Abraham Lincoln, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Tsar Nicholas II and his family, John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Che Guevara, Mahatma Ghandi, Indira Ghandi, Rajiv Ghandi, Benigno Aquino and Yitzhak Rabin.
