From the Orlando Sentinel: President Charles Mojock apologized Friday after a participant in an estate-planning seminar complained that a speaker held a drawing to give away a punching bag depicting President Barack Obama as a black-eyed boxer.
Tavares attorney John Feldman, who brought the 5-foot punching bag, didn't mean to offend anyone in the audience of 85 to 95 people, Mojock said.
"He's well-known for his sense of humor," Mojock said. "He's the kind of person that likes to speak his mind and people generally enjoy what he has to say."
Feldman couldn't be reached for comment.
Lucille Espey-Francis, a Tavares attorney and Obama supporter, complained to Mojock that the punching bag sent a bad message.
"There was a suggestion that Obama should be beaten," Espey-Francis said. "What else do you do with a punching bag?" http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-08-24/news/os-lk-obama-punching-bag-apology-20120824_1_president-charles-mojock-bag-lake-sumter-community-college
And I am sure Ms. Espey-Francis complained loudly when there were George Bush dartboards like the picture below. Yeah, I didn't think so.
