President Barak H. Obama Is obviously about to make an OPEC leader welcome , walking hand in hand through the rose garden and making nice in the most diplomatic way possible President O will surely get oil deliveries increased enough to lower the average Americans fuel bill lowered to comfortable low levels again. God bless the good hearted.



President McCain would give up all of his wifes many vacation homes just to be able to take a normal pain free leak.

This has been so badly misinterpreted.

   Respectfull burning is the proper disposal of a worn out flag, in this scene we see First Lady Michelle Obama and her husband , President O, celebrating their purchase of a new flag while they privately and properly dispose of their flag that they had displayed till it was too ragged to keep.

   Michelle is demurely enjoying her second amendment right and seems ready for her weekly meeting with her well ordered militia.

   On the wall they still have the same portrait of Osama Bin Laden that President Bush put up , this drawing is not detailed enough to show the text of the "WANTED dead or alive" text on it or the darts in it.

    President Barak H. Obama Is obviously about to make an OPEC leader welcome , walking hand in hand through the rose garden and making nice in the most diplomatic way possible President O will surely get oil deliveries increased enough to lower the average Americans fuel bill lowered to comfortable low levels again. God bless the good hearted.


I've got to say plane, you do satire very well.

The camo and gun...that threw me.  My first thought was,  Angela Davis? Huh?

I guess I understand what he was doing but that is not a cover, that should be an attached cartoon to an article about all the nonsense that has been said about Obama.  Without any explanation on the cover about it, the artwork just looks like a statement about the candidate.

Chelsea Clinton was, in my opinion, never ugly, and is now rather attractive.

Beauty (or ugly,or homely) is in the eye of the beholder.

Quote
In any event, Limbaugh calling her ugly was cruel and totally inappropriate

True - didn't say it wasn't, just that I agreed with him at the time.

Quote
...even more so than calling Rush a fat drug fiend, because she was just a young girl who was not an actor on the political stage and unable to defend herself.

Well, Rush was a fat druggie, and chose to make himself a public figure, so I don't see anything unfair about saying so. Chelsea didn't have that choice when Billary was in the White House, and so should not have been made fair game. But I still think she was homely.

I still haven't decided whether Janet Reno was a man or a woman.

She is a woman.
I met her once here in Miami.
She is very tall-at least six feet.

Before this is explained, is it mean or is it trite or is it an ironic offering from an Obama fan?

It's mildly funny, but the same concept could be applied to any politician.  It's more a spoof on evolutionary theory or developmental anatomy, with political characteristics substituted for phenotype or organelles.  It's just as funny to do one on McCain with organelles representing duty, honour, country or "experience" or heiress-seeking.  The humour is from the inappropriate interaction of two concepts, politics and cellular anatomy, which in real life have nothing to do with each other.
