Obama On The Money
The chairwoman of the Snohomish County, WA Republican Party issued an apology yesterday after a party volunteer sold "$3 bills" at a state fair showing Obama wearing an Arab head covering. At the top of the bill, it reads: "Obamanation Note... The Concerned States of America... The Prince of Platitudes." It also shows a picture of a camel. Chairwoman Geri Modrell, who ordered the bills removed, told the Seattle Times: "I don't think it's funny. They were offensive. The volunteers are being told very clearly they must not do these sorts of things."
