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.”
