Obama punching bag causes stir at Indiana fair     MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) -- A punching bag depicting President Barack Obama as a boxer with a black eye has been removed from the Republican Party tent at the Delaware County fair after drawing criticism from some fairgoers.

   Delaware County GOP spokesman Tom Bennington tells The Star Press (http://tspne.ws/MLPBOO ) he thinks the bag was placed outside the tent by party leaders. It was displayed at various times Monday through Wednesday.

   He says the bag was "meant in fun" to illustrate that Republicans hope to defeat Obama in November. But says he found it "mildly offensive" because of how it portrayed the military's commander in chief and says the bag was removed after fair visitors and at least one Republican voiced concerns.

   Bennington says some people had "a good time" with the punching bag

Funny, no one complained about the Romney punching bag in the democrat's tent  ;D

I don't see a thing wrong with these. Cartoonists and journalists make fun of whichever candidate they don't like and it is fine. It's called humor, maybe some folks need to quit trying to be so politically correct and get a life. When getting that life ask for a side order of humor.
 
Bash the Bushes all you want but oh no you can't speak out against Obama. Really ?
