Easy, the racists who keep giving them reason to analyze in the first place.

Find a news article that says that
unless you consider internet blogs to be a reliable source of information

I'm just amazed that folks in the USA, grown adults, are STUPID enough to not know about the historical and sad stereotype of blacks, especially by the KKK, compared to and being called monkeys.
I'm not buying the "it was congress who wrote the bill" argument, so there's no racism.
Congress wrote the bill alone eh?
If Obama is not elected, the version of this bill is not even written, so it is his bill.
The writer was trying to represent Obama and did it in a racist way (or at least did the same as walking a tightrope, it was close enough).
But again, though, consider the source, the left hating, neocon Newscorp.
You think they would have done this against Keyes, Steele or Thomas?
In addition, they could have used, even the GEICO caveman, or anything else instead of a chimp, or maybe even the Blago fiasco, if they wanted to sickly tie a tragic accident into a news event. But it would not have united their GOP base as much, right?

Do keep in mind that there had been an escaped chimp, shot by police, all over the news in the NYC suburbs days before this cartoon appeared. It wasn't as if the chimp imagery was random.

Just throwing that out there.

I'm looking at the chimp drawing right now. It's stupid but it is not racist. I think some black people and white people are looking for something that isn't there.

If you understand how goverment works you SHOULD know CONGRESS wrote the bill as it is with all the changes and pork thats in it. THEY are a group of idiots, a monkey could do a better job at what was wrote. its not Obamas bill just because he was voted prez. Its his because he signed off on it. its that simple, enough of this white folk indignation BS .
