GOP mailing depicts Obama with watermelon and fried chicken on food stamp

Oop



The GOP newsletter, which was sent to about 200 members and associates of the group by e-mail and regular mail last week, is drawing harsh criticism from members of the political group, elected leaders, party officials and others as racist.

The group's president, Diane Fedele, said she plans to send an apology letter to her members and to apologize at the club's meeting next week. She said she simply wanted to deride a comment Obama made over the summer about how as an African-American he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

"I didn't see it the way that it's being taken. I never connected," she said. "It was just food to me. It didn't mean anything else."

She said she also wasn't trying to make a statement linking Obama and food stamps, although her introductory text to the illustration connects the two: "Obama talks about all those presidents that got their names on bills. If elected, what bill would he be on????? Food Stamps, what else!"




lol lady, have the balls to own up to it, at least that way you don't look like a liar as well. Then again she's silly enough to not think about it being used against the party. I think the denial is funnier than the image.. I bet the GOP wishes it could slap a large part of it's base sometimes.
