2009-01-28
So I guess there's no longer a need for political cartoonists? There's the door, boys...

#13  If they won't crack jokes about him then they open the door to new talent who will.

#12  But his wife's got them Uncle Leo "I always look pissed off" eyebrows. They'd probably be to scared to go after her.

#9  This guy is going to end up gutting our intelligence and defense capabilities

Of course he is, now that the 'GWOT is over.' Pigs have a habit of avoiding an empty trough. You must keep them FED!

#8  He is an unrepentant left-wing radical ideologue out of the Saul Alinsky school. Look at his first executive orders. Look at his economic approach to fixing the stalled economy. Just because he picked people like Jim Jones and Bob Gates for his team doesn't hide the fact that he has Panetta at CIA and Rice at UN or Holder at Justice of Daschle at HHS. This guy is going to end up gutting our intelligence and defense capabilities as well as establishing the biggest government intervention and socialist programs ever seen even by Roosevelt standards. We are royally screwed until we can force the Republicans back in Congress in 2010 but they have to show a lot of backbone and mature proposals to win the people back.

#7  Â“A good-looking president isn't good for cartooning."

No problemÂ…just provide and illustration of his suit. And tell the folks that donÂ’t get it that you donÂ’t want to be racially insensitive.

#6  Yup, he's a politician through and through. Give away what you don't care about in exchange for getting what you want.

#5  My early assessment as well lotp and there's no comedy in any of it.

#4  He's not a liberal. He appears to be a leftwing radical. He'll appear to make all sorts of moderate decisions on issues that don't matter much to him, all the while working to make fundamental and irrevocable changes to income distribution, regulations, laws and social power.

#3  No surprise here. Commedy has been sensored for many YEARS!

#2  Just wait until the MSM decides to make news and brands him a LINO. Then watch what happens.
