  4. a penny a day keeps Obama away   14 years ago

    1. a penny a day keeps Obama away   14 years ago

      1. rather   14 years ago

        He looks satisfied too 😉

  6. sage   14 years ago

    It almost looks like Obama's signature on the cert. Is he a medical examiner as well as the Chocolate Jesus?

    1. Half 'n' Half   14 years ago

      He's only semi-sweet chocolate.

      1. Chocolateer   14 years ago

        Milk Chocolate really

        1. Willy Wonka   14 years ago

          Acutally, he's a bad egg.

  7. Kolohe   14 years ago

    Looks shopped

    (Afghanistan?)

    1. Bucky   14 years ago

      yeah, it says he's afgani.
      i thought he was saudi...

      1. Sudden   14 years ago

        Negro, African; Afhgani, Saudi.... same difference right?

  8. Johnny [Longtorso]   14 years ago

    Sucked. That is all.

  9. proegg antichicken   14 years ago

    lol, wut, does this mean Osama is dead?

  10. WTF   14 years ago

    Meh. Where are the morning links? I want my morning links!

  11. Bradley   14 years ago

    Wow, never heard this joke before.

  12. Bucky   14 years ago

    All Hail Seal Team Six
    Doom On You, Obama...
    To the Shooters and Looters, who's the strong horse now?

    1. Bucky   14 years ago

      oops, no coffee...

      1. GroundTruth   14 years ago

        Freudian slip?

        1. OO=======D   14 years ago

          YES!

          1. Bucky   14 years ago

            shhhhh! Holder might come a'callin'...

  13. Corporate Drone   14 years ago

    the certificate isn't notarized.
    RUSH JOB.

  14. Reformed Republican   14 years ago

    Is there some sort of obligation for for political cartoonists to go for the obvious joke, since they know all of the other cartoonists will, and they do not want to miss out?

    Or is it just laziness?

  15. Mister DNA   14 years ago

    LOL! It's funny because it's true!

  16. Barely Suppressed Rage   14 years ago

    Hey look! The podium is named Obama, too.

  17. Concerned Citizen   14 years ago

    Interesting, I just looked at Obama's birth certificate online, and it lists his father's place of birth as Kenya. Kenya didn't exist in 1961.

    1. Publius Cato   14 years ago

      The Republic of Kenya did not exist until 1963, but as early as 1920, the region was known as Kenya Colony.

      1. Concerned Citizen   14 years ago

        I also pointed out on Facebook that the name of the hospital didn't exist in 1961. The liberals reacted predictably.

  18. Dept O   14 years ago

    I'm quite disappointed in Henry Payne's ability to draw hands/faces/logical posing/anything really. How the fuck is Obama even holding on to the certificate?! How does someone miss this?!

    1. yonemoto   14 years ago

      +++++++

    2. Almanian   14 years ago

      I did not realize Obama did not have opposable thumbs till you pointed this out.

      Also, since that would imply the President is not as evolved as the rest of us, Payne is a RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST!!!!

  19. Dept O   14 years ago

    Ok.. so.. this comic isn't even H. Payne's latest comic... The one on his site, that's more current than this one, is at least moderately funnier than this one. I mean it's not the best, but the drawing at least made me smile..

    http://www.henrypayne.com/wp-c.....SCOLOR.jpg

    I know, I know, it would have been funnier if he was on the toilet watching the royal wedding when he was shot, but beggars can't be choosers.

    Is it reason torpedoing the friday funny; purposely showing us the worst ideas of these cartoonists? Do the artist's get a choice about what to post here? If so, why so sadistic Payne?

  20. Jay S   14 years ago

    Good thing the podium says "Obama" or else I would have no idea who that is.

  21. Tim   14 years ago

    Hilarious.

  22. Confederal_Republic   14 years ago

    You left out the huge cock growing out of Obama's forehead. Way to go.

  23. Almanian   14 years ago

    I didn't get a chance to see the site this AM. I will note now that, if I were Sage, I would say

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    That is all. Night, Reason!

    1. Almanian   14 years ago

      Also, why is there a cattail growing from the podium?

  24. mbt en france   14 years ago

    nice job!

  25. sologn   14 years ago

    is good

    If you grew up like I do using a romantic eyesight of what my wedding party ought to be like, then no make any difference how quite a few issues there are to request yourself, you're positive of a single thing, it requirements being perfect. these days not everybody seems as worried about discovering the great Wedding Dresses, but for the vast majority of us - deep within - it actually does matter.

    As quickly when you start preparing or even the large day, deciding on your wedding party attire gets an urgent require for most brides. Nobody would like to wait. even though dealing with wedding party strain and preparations, be positive to enable your self a lot of time to attempt on completely different designs and discover the a single who says "you".

    The theme of your wedding party would be an significant place when choosing that unique dress. have you been obtaining married for the beach? If so, you may pick a gentle airy style. Have you made the decision on the formal affair? Then by all means, go all out and put on a light attire covered in silk and lace. what ever kind of celebration your wedding party will be, your attire will perform among the most significant roles in it!With the cost of weddings, some couples attempt and minimize back again by creating their personal flowers, or purchase some wedding dress in a specialized dress shop at a high price, but why don't you try to buy a cheap wedding dresse online directly. Where you can also purchase your ideal wedding dress and some new fashions. whatever style, colour or cost variety you sooner or later choose on when deciding on your wedding party dress, don't neglect that it's you your fianc? fell in adore with, not your dress. The attire adds towards ambiance from the day, however it isn't the genuine centerpiece.

    After you have selected your wedding party attire hang it inside bag it arrives in and don't display it to everybody. Give company a thing to start looking forward to once they see you for your initial time walking along the aisle. And unless it is really unavoidable, don't allow your potential husband see your attire whatsoever prior to the wedding. They say it's poor luck as well as if that's merely a superstition, it definitely does spoil his surprise!

    Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and appearance. I must say that you've done a awesome job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!
