Cartoon

Personally I don't get this cartoon. Was the artist trying to convey that our president was a monkey? If so, yes this cartoon contains some underling racism and is in bad taste. I'm not clear on the message that is trying to be said here. Is it the bill was so poorly done that a monkey did it? I understand the cartoon draws off of the chimp that attacked a woman and was put down. But didn't the artist realizes that the African American President wrote the bill and that by saying the bill was done by a monkey you imply the president is a chimp. It may not have been intended as it appears but chose another analogy.
