as Barack Obama. Not a single one.

Someone I know has a photo up on his Facebook, saying, “This is the best Christmas gift (idea) ever. If I come across these, I’ll sell sheets of 5 for 25 cents.”

It was a fucking roll of toilet paper with a picture of Barack Obamas’ presidential photo on each sheet.

Seriously? You’re not supposed to defame images of the POTUS. It happens, yes, but putting it on a fucking roll of toilet paper? To wipe your ass after you shit? To put your shit, literally, on the face of the president?

Tell me when that has happened to a white president.

I’ll wait.

I’m actually going to disagree with this one, especially since it took me like 5 seconds to find this:

I really think in the grand scheme of “disrespecting the office” W got it way worse. Obama gets crap but all the stuff that isn’t outright racism (<— that statement there is key to this thought) is really banal, he barely has anything that you can even caricature that much. He’s got a very distinct pattern of speech but that’s about it. W on the other hand was portrayed as the most child-like simpleton or some bizarre texas oil-man firing his pistols into the air. In 15-20 years we’re still going to look back and laugh at Will Ferrell’s Bush and that caricature is really going to affect how he’s going to be remembered. Now I’m not saying that Bush deserves any greater respect but the way his legacy and presidency was warped by pop culture, toilet paper included, is worse than anything Obama has gotten or probably will ever get.
