Is Obama as witch doctor pic racist?

Charles at LGF has his panties in a twist because one of the speakers at the Tea Party in DC supported the guy who sent an email with a pic of Obama as a witch doctor. Now Charles is an insufferable prig, but I wonder if the pic is actually racist. It references ObamaCare and as such the witch doctor angle is understandable. The problem is that the left will reflexively call it racist and that hurts the cause. They have done this so often though that the charge becomes weak through the over use in obviously non-racist situations. But is any instance of making fun of Obama that uses any reference to Africa automatically racist?

So I ask the collective wisdom of the moronosphere, is the picture with commentary about Obamacare as context, racist? 2nd question, is it wise to give ammo to the wankers on the left by using it? I saw a couple examples of it at the march yesterday.
