Okay, I'll break it down for ya, and has nothing to do with racism.
1 - The bus. a few months ago Barry bought 2 hugely luxurious and expensive buses (couple million each) from some outfit in Canada (no buy american here) which he used for his 3 day "meetin the folk" from somewhere in Minny/Saint paul or something, ending up in a rich white Chicago suburb. Only mention the white cause Maxin Waters (d-calif) made a big thing about Barry never stopping in any black neighborhoods during his 3 day tour. He bought the bus with Taxpayers money even though his trip had all the appearances of a campaign event. Buying campaign stuff on taxpayers money is illegal - he claimed they had nothing to do with the campaign and has now broken them out again for "meet the folk" tour of southern states. Hence it's "not a campaign bus" on the cartoon.
2 - for the rabbit ears, probably better to get some news website and peruse the politcal humor cartoons starting around 2008. Barry had a fairly normal head back then. The worse his presidency has become, the smaller the head and the larger the ears. Same thing was done to George Bush. Since he's outright come out and said he is not responsible for anything (bad), the caption is a repeat of "it's not my fault" mantra (it's bush, it's the congress, it's the tsunami). Insert your subject.
3 - The Obama jobs bill is a see through attempt at legislating laws that help people from what it is - a campaign gimmic. Even the Democratically controlled Senate refused to pass it. Now they want to pass it in piecemeal. The actual purpose is to give Barry something to campaign against the evil "do nothing congress" (implying of course the republicans who control only 1 of 3 of the decision making institutions in our government). Since the Demos and Repubs have laveled the jobs bill nothing more than a "Stimulus 2" bill to feed half a trillion dollars to the unions, since in structure there is very little different from the 1.2 Trillion $ Stimuls that failed last year. Note last year they funnelled the 1.2 trillion to the bankers and car makers. Hence - "it's not a stimulus" on the cartoon.
Obviously not funny now, you kinda needed the background first
