This "Sock Obama" toy started out as a T-Shirt. According to the inventor, it was fashioned after "Curious George" and was meant to be Lovable, and something that Obama fans could hold close to their heart.

As to weather this was intended as a racial slur, I don't know, and don't really care. "That's Politics". Granted, if this was actually intended as an insult, I would agree that it is pretty low. However, these things commonly happen all the time.

I believe I can be compared to the majority of americans when I say that, until it was presented in this fashion by the media, I only considered it to be "cute". (not offensive)

Let me share with you, some images that "no one" seemed to object to, but are equally (if not more) offensive.

These two portray George Bush in a very "Dehumanizing way". Same as the "sock Obama" was said to be.

Also

Or this picture incinuating that George Bush is a "Pimp"

Or this picture of George Bush that visualizes him as being a "War Monger"

Or these images of the president portrayed as "Stupid" in a very insulting way.

Finally, what the heck is this? Is this supposed to be a "Death Wish" or a "Death Threat?"

If equality doesn't apply to everyone, then "no one" is equal! Personally, I think Obama blew it "Big Time". When Andrew Jackson's opponent referred to him as "Jack Ass" instead of "Jackson", Jackson ran with it and made the "Jack Ass" his political symbol. (It still sticks today)

If Obama had run with this and made light of the similarities, big ears and all. he would have clinched the presidency! Barrack! The extreme left wing is "not" doing you any favors! (Wise up!) You missed a historical moment.

Does anyone know where the "Teddy Bear" originated from? It was named after Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt There was hardly a child in America, male or female, black or white, that didn't have a "Teddy Bear" that they loved. (dehumanizing?)

The extreme left media and bloggers are getting more like "Barney Fife" every day. (Don Knotts - deputy on Andy of Mayberry) Andy only allowed Barney to have "one" bullet, and keep it in his shirt pocket, or he'd hurt himself.

By yelling "discrimination" and "dehumanization" about this sock monkey, they killed the goose that lays the golden eggs and shot themselves in the foot, all with one shot. For Obama to embrace this racial nonsense is to display a lack of wisdom. We need someone sharper than that in the Oval Office.

The "Sock Obama", fashioned after Curious George, could have possibly been the "new" symbol for the democratic party! Where's the "change" we are always hearing about?
