Just when I was getting the warm fuzzy feeling about rednecks in Georgia, I came across this picture:

 It seems that the people of Cobb County, or at least the patrons and owners of Mulligan’s Bar and Grill think that this T-Shirt accurately depicts  Barack Obama.

“We’re not living in the (19)40’s,” he said. “Look at him . . . the hairline, the ears — he looks just like Curious George,” said bar owner Mike Norman.

 

 

Norman is not new to controversy. Recent messages on the sign in front of his bar have read:

“I wish Hillary had married OJ,”
“No habla espanol — and never will” 
I.N.S. Agents eat free.”

“I’m saying out loud what everyone in this town whispers,” Norman said.
