    Some of the reaction:

    Had it been a BUSH mask, the liberal media would have thought it to be artistic and funny.

    Until Obama and the rest of the Democrats continue their assault on the Constitution, I believe the 1st Amendment still exist and people have a right to civil protest. If people would show as much vocal disdain for this shameful president and his highly unethical Administration as they have for this clown act then maybe this country wouldn't be in the mess it's in.

    It's actually quite patriotic. People need to go back to school and learn how the government is supposed to work. The President should not be wielding the power this administration is. It is unlawful and out of control. The government should be representing the people. If the people don't like it, time to make a change. A patriot historically has been a "rebel" or "revolutionist", so this clown is completely in-line with being a patriot and exudes patriotism. I applaud them for appropriately expressing dissatisfaction in an 'arena' that the public understood.
    While the left gets dizzy blogging and creating talking points about this; MO should hold its head high and continue to demand answers for dead American heroes in Benghazi that continue to be covered up by the Obama administration.

    So what! Sounds like they were just having fun, We've seen Mask of Presidents used in all sorts of Jokes/Live on Stage/Hollywood Movies and TV over the years, Obama is by no means exclusive.
    George Wells

    So who's the clowns now... lighten up it was only in fun .... sheesh!!!

    lol !

    I say GROW UP people, He is the worst leader we have ever had and ANYONE could see that if they got their heads out of the sand long enough to look at our country.
    Amy Jo Meekins

    If the clown had worn a President Bush mask the liberals above wouldn't have said a word! While I would support Porky Pig in the Whitehouse before Obama, I would say a parody of running down any individual is in poor taste. Let it go already. I wish people would cry out this loud about Obamas lies.
    Any one for an efigy burning? I'll bring the matches. :type:​

    Again, distasteful and not the sort of comments the Body should get comfortable saying.

    It's called freedom of speech. Don't like it move elsewhere or don't look at it. BTW, Scripture speaks badly of those who are evil and their works -- by NAME. :thumbsup:

    The was "black face comedy" in a modern disguise and just as offensive. Actions such as this simply re-enforce, around the world, the belief that Americans are ignorant racists who preach democracy and the equality of all, but do not walk the walk. They see Americans, especially white Americans as huge hypocrites. This type of action really aids and abets our enemies.

    Yes, the Constitution says we have free speech and that allows us the freedom to say or act out our stupidity and prejudices.

    And no, this person who many of you consider liberal would be just as outraged if someone had appears in a disguise in such poor taste making fun of Bush.

    In the military you may not like, yea you may hate an office, but you are to respect his rank. When a soldier salutes an office, he is not saluting the man but the rank. I would guess that everyone knows what happens if you do not salute an officer ... regardless of what you think of him as a person.

    Well, silly me. I saw the headline, and then the picture, and I thought, "wow. That's over-the-top making fun of President Obama."

    Thanks, Crabby, for letting me know it was a racist thing. I hadn't even considered that the mask was that of a black man; I thought it was making fun of the president.

    No one said anything about it not being freedom of speech. I'm just saying it's not the type of behavior that Christians should be high-fiving.

    In another thread, mention was made of Obama dividing the country. THIS type of behavior toward him and CHRISTIAN approval of it is what's helping to divide the country.


    ??? What does that have to do with making fun of the President?

    Liberals bring race into everything unless it benefits them.
