Don't believe for a minute that Obama actually wrote that package. It's doubtful he even read it. That stuff is done by staffers, who present (at best) briefs to their bosses laying out what they want them to believe is in there. So I don't see any criticism of Obama personally, only politically.
The cartoon strikes me as perhaps more revealing about the viewer than the cartoonist. Those who are always looking for the tiniest slight, always trying to put words into other people's mouths, or those who themselves view blacks as being at a lower level of evolution and are ashamed of their views will, I believe, tend to see this as more demeaning than it was meant to be.
People just need to stop taking themselves so seriously!
