Obama parade parody causes controversy | FOX13Now.com ? Salt Lake City, Utah News & Weather from KSTU Television FOX 13

Obama parade parody causes controversy | FOX13Now.com ? Salt Lake City, Utah News & Weather from KSTU Television FOX 13: HUNTSVILLE, Utah ? A parade entry portraying President Barack Obama and using the term ?Obamanation? has made some angry, and others upset at the negative attention.

It happened in the city?s annual Fourth of July parade.

The float showed a person dressed as President Obama with one sign that read ?Huntsville Welcomes Obama?s Farewell Tour?? On the back, another sign said, ?Ask about our assault gun plan. Call Eric Holder.?

On one side of the issue, people are saying the float was disrespectful and had no place in a patriotic parade. The other side says it was all in good fun.

Huntsville Mayor Jim Truett and City Council member Laurie Allen say the entry doesn?t reflect the views of the city. They say it was entered at the last minute, not through usual protocol and they would not have approved it if they had seen it.
