Good morning, Suki!
Oh...was I supposed to say something about the cartoon?? Ummmmm.....we could actually use some rain in this part of OH. I mean literally.
Ha ha!
Anyone notice how shrill and desperate the left is becoming as we approach the elections? November is like a slow-moving hurricane. They see it coming and they can't do anything about it. The recriminations have already begun. The propaganda is never-ending. This could be the ugliest political season in memory.
They're going to take away your Social Security check because they hate old people!
They're going to repeal Obamacare because they hate sick people!
They're going to repeal Welfare because they hate poor people!
They hate these programs because they help people, and they hate helping people!
Obscene profits! Corporate greed! Failed policies of the past!
Bush!
Cheney!
Aaaauuuuggghhhh!
Calm down, Rachel, calm down. Mommy has a treat for 'ums.
That's interesting. It appears you were being sarcastic but I actually DO hate all of those people.
Plus I'm a racist.
No we're not!
No we're not!
Fucking Kochsuckers!
Christofags!
As the plane gets closer to the mountain they are going to go totally unhinged and just start full on raping their republican enemies and throwing their own feces at reporters who keep asking them to explain where the jobs are.
The jobs are like the WMDs. They were there once, a long time ago, but then the government went an sent them all to Syria and buried them in the desert.
"Obummer Summer"
Shouldn't he be doing something like holding the umbrella over himself with a sun lamp and saying, "things are looking up!" Your cartoon suggests things beyond his control are ruining his summer, rather than his policies are making things worse, or at least keeping things the same.
I think the fact that he showed up to the beach on a rainy day shows he was ill-prepared and was deluding himself. I agree, though, that the cartoon suggests that he no longer is.
Maybe he doesn't want to pay the new tax he put on sun lamps.
Maybe he doesn't want to pay the new racist tax he put on sun lamps white women.
White people.
The only people I know who tan here are the local news guys.
They look like shit too.
Look, mr simple, Obama's energy policy is not helping to stem global climate change, therefore he SHOULD be rained on in the cartoon.
Jobs are beyond his control. No matter waht the government does they cannot create jobs and for most part everything they are doing is making it harder for anyone to get a job. That is what is so sickly fun about watching this shitbomb explode in slow-mo.
Yes I have a job. Yes I feel bad for those that dont. Yes it is still fun to watch as the Obama administration attempts every single Keynseian scheme at the wall to see if it will stick. Turns out all they are doing is making the wall dirty, but I am sure someone will have fun cleaning it up.
The gov't shouldn't try to create jobs, it tried under FDR & that was a disaster.
What the gov't CAN do is lose jobs & that is exactly what the O Man's policies have done and will continue to do
Behind a beaded curtain and in front of Pigpen ascending the horizon, a blind Japanese butterfly bisected by a lozenge atop a cloven driver stands in a Sasquatch footprint holding a personalized paramedic kit led by a French-flag swordfish impaled on a rotisserie against a star protected by a few coins. Ringlets of hair in various shades of gray retreat.
Mordant, but the symbolism's a little too obvious.
Disregard dadaist link.
Better than last week but that's a very low bar to hurdle.
I told him he should have come to Spain with me!
He could have gotten some ideas for new green power technologies -- solar power at night!
Moonbeam power is the next great green fad.
Not bad.
Why not a picture of a person with two broken legs, labeled "U.S. Economy", and Obama standing over them with a baseball bat shouting "Walk, damn you!"
A++
Why don't you stand up, Chuck?
Thats too close to reality. It might be seen as a legit policy statement rather than a political cartoon.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
It's nice to see Obama took some work with him on vacation, though.
There's a teleprompter in the briefcase. He's going to make the rain stop by giving a speech right after he commands the tide to not come in.
Why is his upper body melting but not his head?
Why is he holding a French swordfish?
Where are the oily otters?
He's looking for whose ass to kick about all this irresponsible precipitation.
Bad idea. if something happens to the rainmaker, then it may never rain again.
Could get arid.
Looks just like Seattle's summer of... well, summer.
I knew that Karma would make us see 52 degrees in August when the Obama administration announced a Summer of Recovery.
Hey, when you do nothing but vacation, eventually you get bad weather.
In this case, Jimmy Buffet is right: everywhere you go, you take the weather with you.
Literally, not funny.
Shorter version.
I don't see why he's so glum. he brought an umbrella.
Just heard some guy on Jim Bohanon talking about how, if we don't undo the evil Bush tax cuts, it will "cost" us about 700 billion over the next ten years.
So... cut spending by seventy billion per year, for the next ten years. Same result.
Jesus, it's really not that hard.
Heretic!!!
which 70?
Shit, there is probably 700 billion wedged in between the couch pillows in the oval office.
Oh theres the red button...
