Criticizing Bush, making fun of Bush = Funny, patriotic and great wit
Criticizing Obama, making fun of Obama = Racist, insensitive and wrong
But on the other hand those adjectives and descriptions can be reversed depending in which side you are on.
Ultimately, we have freedom of the press and the right to criticize our government anyway we want, doesn't have to be tasteful or approved by anyone. If the politician cannot take the heat, they shouldn't be in office because they will always be criticized and made fun of by someone.
These cartoons are meant to sell papers and get across a point of view or make one known.... this did that and with the ensuing press and attention, it made that cartoon that much more attention getting.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
