The drawing is good enough that he is unmistakeable.

they fall into several groups- 1, parroting whatever smear Limbaugh has going (We Built it, etc.), 2, falling back on the usual stereotypes of "big spender, hates god and america" Obama, and 3, thinly veiled racist scribblings.

an example:

Is that a thinly veiled reference to the asshole who (I think) suggested that Obama be branded?

On the first one, but the big dawg had me howling. I thought the GOP's hatred of Clinton was single minded, but Obama has set the bar even higher. That is why I get so angry when Obama negotiates so poorly with them. Nothing he ever does will appease them, unless he suddenly become white. And even then I think they would find something else to hate about him.

In the middle of an impeachment process, Clinton managed to lower the debt, get more people working, and do more for the average American than the GOP could dream of, and keep the country going. If Bill could do all of that despite the GOP attack, I didn't care about his indescretions. That was his personal business, not the country's. He was doing what he was elected to do.

This is how ethnic cleansing begins.....demonizing a specific group of people for trivial reasons. Divide, conquer, and control.

the last one is kind of an anti-obama cartoon. I think it implies he's changing his rhetoric from "hope and change" to "remember this is mostly Bush's fault."
