A cartoon in the New York Post newspaper has triggered accusations that it is a racist depiction of President Barack Obama.
Commentators denounced the cartoon, while campaigner Rev Al Sharpton vowed to picket the newspaper's headquarters.
Cartoonist Sean Delonas drew police shooting dead a chimp, while remarking "they'll have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill".
The paper has defended the cartoon as a "parody of a current news event".
On Tuesday President Obama signed into law a massive, $787bn (�548bn) economic stimulus package.
The plan failed to achieve Republican backing and came after weeks of political wrangling.

It makes you want to promote infanticide.

I honestly don't think that any national newspaper would be so completely dim as to try and depict the first African American President as a monkey. That kind of thing is normally left to a certain brand of football 'fan', and perhaps daughters of former British Prime Ministers.
If the chimp had been drawn to look like Mr Obama, then perhaps the accusers would have a point.
Just a point on the monkey reference - it has always been used by racist as a term of abuse. When those fans made monkey noises at Sol Campbell, I'm pretty sure they weren't doing it from a sense of affection.
