'Obama Presidential Library' float at Norfolk parade sparks controversy - Omaha.com: Nebraska

By Hunter Woodall   7-7-14

A Fourth of July parade float that depicted a figure standing outside an outhouse labeled the “Obama Presidential Library” has created a stir on social media and is also receiving criticism in Norfolk, Nebraska.

The float, in Norfolk’s annual Independence Day parade, was on a flatbed trailer being pulled by a blue pickup truck. The figure was dressed in overalls and standing next to a walker outside of the outhouse. The hands and head of the figure were greenish and appeared to be zombielike; the hands were pressed against the sides of the figure’s head. Miniature American flags were atop the float and on the truck. …
… the float seemed to be calling the president stupid, and the message seemed clear: “I don’t like Obama.”
