    Well at least Bok has stopped trying to be funny.

    1. ntnu   15 years ago

      You're a merry one aren't you.

      Have you seen the latest South Park episode?

      1. heller   15 years ago

        Yeah it looked like shit to me.

        1. Almanian   15 years ago

          +PFFFFBBHHHTTTTTT!!!!

        2. Almanian   15 years ago

          *golf clap*

    2. PS   15 years ago

      Piss off, there's not a single label in this cartoon. This is a huge step forward, future political cartoon historians will mark this day as a watershed.

      1. ?   15 years ago

        Show it to Mikey. He won't like it. He hates everything.

        1. proegg antichicken   15 years ago

          Mikey likes it?

  2. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    Obama gets no respect, I tells ya.

    1. Wind Rider   15 years ago

      Hey, ya cant always get what you pay for - with other people's money. . .

  3. sage   15 years ago

    Unrealistic. No one in the press corps is going to stand up to this clown. If anything, they'll be bending over while asking "Are you an awesome president, or THE AWESOMEST!?"

    1. George V   15 years ago

      MOST AWESOMEST!

      1. George VI   15 years ago

        MOST AWESOMEST EVAH!!

  4. Anthony Weiner   15 years ago

    Too bad political news has been so dull. Leave Bok alone, he had nothing to work with. 🙁

    1. Wind Rider   15 years ago

      Your just upset he wouldn't touch the subject of your dick with. . .YOUR dick! Get it?

  5. rather   15 years ago

    WTH is Suki?

    1. Wind Rider   15 years ago

      Ya bury the body, and you're asking US?

      1. druther   15 years ago

        I am not suki!

  6. J[o]h[nn]y L[o][n]gt[o]rs[o]   15 years ago

    Is "gave myself a waiver" a new euphemism for masturbation? It should be.

    1. John   15 years ago

      I thought it was "I am taking my talents to South Beach"? Or was that 2010. Maybe for 2011, it is "I am giving myself a waiver"

  7. rather   15 years ago

    I can see his hands

    1. J[o]h[nn]y L[o][n]gt[o]rs[o]   15 years ago

      He was speaking in the past tense.

  8. ?   15 years ago

    Mr. President, what's the Administration's position on the banned cicada ice cream that wasn't really banned?

    1. Fredo Mangu-Ward   15 years ago

      It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect!

  9. Doubleu   15 years ago

    I don't like this cartoon because of the way the beard is drawn on the guy on the left side.

    HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE!

    1. Critic   15 years ago

      The guy in the checked suit kills it for me.

    2. Ben Bernanke   15 years ago

      I don't like that either.

      1. "The Real" Ben Bernanke   15 years ago

        Come on guys, really? Let's be serious.

      2. "The Real" Ben Bernanke   15 years ago

        Come on guys, really? Let's be serious here.

  10. P Brooks   15 years ago

    The Ascended One is making those homeless people listen to a speech before he feeds them, right?

    1. Crackers Boy   15 years ago

      I hope he's not making that speech in an Orlando park, then.

      CB

  11. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    President Jazzhands.

    1. h   15 years ago

      Racist!!

      1. Ray Cyst   15 years ago

        word

  12. ChuckOH   15 years ago

    Damn! I actually smiled at that one.

  13. Andrew S.   15 years ago

    I actually like this one.

  14. Ms Choksondik   15 years ago

    Hey, at least cartoon Barry can utter a few words without a teleprompter.

  15. James Ard   15 years ago

    I'd say he drew a pretty good representation of the DC press corps.

    1. Paul   15 years ago

      Is that Paul Krugman on the left?

      1. George V   15 years ago

        Looks more like Frank Gaffney to me.

  16. Paul   15 years ago

    B-

  17. Joshua Corning   15 years ago

    Does that woman have a mustache?

  18. Jay S   15 years ago

    Who the hell is the guy at the podium? I can't tell without the big-ass nametag normally provided in these types of cartoons.

  19. Almanian   15 years ago

    If I were sage, I would say

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  20. Bucky   15 years ago

    but, the science is settled!
    whoops, wrong Demo-snark...

  21. Dept O   15 years ago

    It looks like Richard Dreyfuss busted out the JustForMen.

  22. Rosetta Stone Spanish   15 years ago

    Who the hell is the guy at the podium?

  23. Pandora UK   15 years ago

    Who the hell is the guy at the podium?

  24. granite countertop   15 years ago

    Every day we face with countertop,you can have a high quality of life with granite countertop of yalitongstone,but we will also very pleased if you can see Huaxingstone's granite countertop.

  25. nike air force 1   15 years ago
