Do you think that the President of the United States needs special protection from insults because of his race? Sure I get the difference. On the street, in the workplace, in personal relations. But if you can compare GWB and Ted Cruz’s kids to chimps, you can do it to President Obama. History and context are meaningless in his case. There’s no history of a black President either. As President, people can say whatever the hell they want to about him.
