ST. PETERSBURG - A Florida neurosurgeon has resigned from his post with a county medical association after forwarding an e-mail with an image portraying President Barack Obama as a witch doctor.

Dr. David McKalip submitted his resignation as president-elect of the Pinellas County Medical Association last week, and plans to remove himself as a delegate with the American Medical Association.

McKalip forwarded an image depicting Obama in a loincloth and with bones in his nose. The caption read, "ObamaCare, coming soon to a clinic near you," and was forwarded to about 150 people.

The doctor has apologized for his actions, telling a Tampa radio station it was a "very bad mistake."

5. That's one of the news outlets to which I emailed a link to the initial

blog post about this cretin. I doubt my email had much to do with the story, but...

7. He's still on staff at USF College of Medicine. Contact their Dean here:

You can find public information about Dr. McKalip here.
Just type in his last name in the search box.

Interesting note -- he doesn't carry malpractice insurance. He also accepts medicaid. Draw your own conclusions about that...

I would recommend letting the administration at USF know what you think about one of their faculty members emailing such a blatantly racist piece of propaganda.

9. Oh, I have no doubt that Dr. Klasko is already aware of

this. Yes, indeed. McKalip's got some 'splainin' to do, I'm thinking.

11. Yah, it's all a big mistake! A mistake, I tell you!

He made a mistake and put some people's names on his mass-mailing list he shouldn't have ought to. That's the mistake.

It's always a mistake. He's not a racist. He said that several times, so it must be true...
