Obama portrayed as a monkey (or ape, I suppose).

Is this intentional, or are people really this clueless?

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

While I think Obama is an idiot and believe that his socialist policies will damage the USA, I don't like that some idiot wants to make sock puppets that look like monkeys and say they look like Obama. I think it's offensive.

It's a Utah company. Shocking.

What? No watermelon slice?

Add reason number 3 for why Obama probably won't be spending a ton of time in Utah during this election.

And I am grateful he won't be in Utah. He's a pussy, but I don't need his socialist tendencies ruining my life with time he's too afraid to spend here.

When Paul Frank gets wind of this, he is going to slap an injunction on these people pretty quickly.

This sock puppet is clearly a ripoff of his Julius the Monkey.

The puppet is kind of funny.

What's REALLY fun is the creator's (who are Obama supporters living in Utah) not having any clue why people could be offended by it. They basically said "Why would anyone be upset? It's just a cute stuffed animal!" They literally have no idea!
