The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women depicts Barack Obama surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken (image below). It says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps -- instead of dollar bills like other presidents. The statement is followed by an illustration of "Obama Bucks" -- a phony $10 bill featuring Obama's face on a donkey's body, labeled "United States Food Stamps."
Next isn't from an official republican staffer, but it's just as disturbing. ThinkProgress.org reported that at the Values Voter Summit, vendors sold an item called Obama Waffles featuring a racist cartoon of Obama on the box front — with “popping eyes and big, thick lips” — and another image of him wearing an Arab-like headdress on its top flap (image below). Its creators, Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, said it was meant as “political satire,” and sold the box for $10 from a booth at the Family Research Council event.
