Waffles and Whine

BOO-Pharking-HOO
With Obama you get Waffles and Whine - Yuck!

WASHINGTON – Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap.

Values Voter Summit organizers cut off sales of Obama Waffles boxes on Saturday, saying they had not realized the boxes displayed "offensive material." The summit and the exhibit hall where the boxes were blah-blah-blah.
If you haven't seen it yet, which of the above is the culprit?  I cut the other two caricatures from the first two Obama political cartoons I could find.  So, what's offensive?  Calling him a waffler?  There is no Aunt Jemima Liar Mix to parody, so it has to be waffle.  Is it offensive because both Aunt Jemimah and Obama Rama are Black?  Then why? Oh, I see.  It's offensive because someone deigned to draw attention to his ... chronic waffling.

I'll take ten boxes.

While we're calling a spade a spade...

(I'm sorry, I've shown a niggardly amount of judgement on a black-and-white issue. I've created a tar baby, haven't I? Maybe this post should just be thrown down a black hole.)
