It doesn't seem likely that it was intended as racist, but that doesn't -by itself- let it off the hook. I have to say I did see a race connection the first time I saw it. But if they apologised then, well, forgive and forget, really. As for the "double standards" of portraying Bush as a monkey for years then crying foul when Obama might have been portrayed as one, that's completely missing the point. It's like saying the n-word and the word Honkey are equally offensive. They aren't, because of historical significance.
