Ape is a species, not a race, pocho.

I prefer not to put down an ape by calling him Obama.

I read the comment, in no way is it racist.( I do recall that the liberals nicknamed President Bush, "chimp".) He didn't call Obama an ape, he just said an ape could do a better job.

"an ape can do a better job"...its a common insult, and I'd can recall all the times bush was called that...

Maybe Rumsfeld did not explain the comment, so Progressives could "get it"

Do you remember when Carter said "Obama's a good black boy"?
