朝鲜官媒朝中社前不久发表文章，辱骂美国总统奥巴马是“血缘不明的杂种”、“邪恶的黑猴子”。对此，白宫强烈谴责这一种族主义言论，称其“丑陋又无礼”。
5月2日，朝鲜中央通讯社刊文谩骂奥巴马是“小丑”、“肮脏的家伙”、“长得没人样”，并称“奥巴马最好到非洲野生动物园跟一群猴子住一起，舔食观众抛出的面包屑。”
对此，一向对朝鲜官方言论置之不理的白宫坐不住了，严厉回应抨击朝中社此举极其令人反感。美国国家安全会议发言人海登表示，“朝鲜政府控制的媒体素以装腔作势闻名，但上述评论极其丑陋又无礼。”
《华盛顿邮报》评论称，尽管朝鲜官方言行向来无礼，但如此野蛮地攻击美国领导人却极为罕见，甚至连美国十九世纪五十年代的词汇都搬了出来。对于此次人身攻击，朝鲜似乎丝毫不担心其后果，但与该通讯社其它文章不同的是，这篇文章并没有英文版。
朝鲜称“他（奥巴马）是血缘不明的杂种，”“数百万年以来人类早已进化，而他却仍保留着猴子的特征。”
这篇5月2日发表的文章几乎未被外界所注意，但却被长期关注朝鲜人权状况的美国律师斯坦顿(Joshua Stanton)发现并挖了出来，在另一篇较温和的文章中，奥巴马被称为“邪恶的黑猴子”。
据《华盛顿》邮报报道，这篇文章名为《对少年犯奥巴马的神圣惩罚》，文章共四大段，每段都以普通民众的引语形式出现。分析人士称，在朝鲜，引用市民言论不仅被官方所认可，而且常被加入政府宣传部门的想法。英文原文
The White House on Thursday sharply condemned a lengthy and racist North Korean screed against President Obama, calling the rhetoric from Pyongyang p~~pparticularly ugly and disrespectful.p~~p
The rebuke came in response to a recently published diatribe by North Korea calling Obama a p~~pclown,p~~p a p~~pdirty fellowp~~p and somebody who p~~pdoes not even have the basic appearances of a human being.p~~p
Another part of the tirade declared, p~~pIt would be perfect for Obama to live with a group of monkeys in the world’s largest African natural zoo and lick the breadcrumbs thrown by spectators.p~~p
The White House — which often ignores the rhetorical excesses of the North Korean regime — suggested that the new comments from the Korean Central News Agency were especially repugnant.
p~~pWhile the North Korean Government-controlled media are distinguished by their histrionics, these comments are particularly ugly and disrespectful,p~~p Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, said in a statement.
Propriety has never been a part of North Korean rhetoric, but rarely has Pyongyang so ferociously — and personally — attacked a US leader, in this case pulling language right out of the American 1850s. The attack seems unabashed, except for one thing: Unlike most articles published by the North’s state-run news agency, this one wasn’t translated into English.
p~~pHe is a crossbreed with unclear blood,p~~p the North says.
And later: Obama p~~pstill has the figure of a monkey while the human race has evolved through millions of years.p~~p
The diatribe, published May 2, almost escaped foreign attention. But Joshua Stanton, who blogs regularly about the North’s viciousness and rights violations, uncovered the Korean-only piece, as well as a separate, milder article that was translated into English and in which Obama was called a p~~pwicked black monkey.p~~p
The Korean-only piece (headlined p~~pDivine retribution for the juvenile delinquent Obama!p~~p) featured four lengthy passages, each attributed to a regular citizen. In the North, quotations of citizens are state-sanctioned and often spoon-fed by the government’s propaganda department, analysts say.
