31. The water fountain gets me too, along with Martin saying "Pinch Me".

Lincoln crying and the Absentee Voter were great too.

And "Worst to First" was awesome. Someone should leave a sign like that on the White House every day.

9. I actually cringed at that one.
While I'm estatic about an Obama Presidency, I don't want to turn him into the "Hitler" the Republicans accuse us of doing by changing the name of the country to fit one man's name.

:shrug: Maybe that's just me.

21. I know!! I feel so relieved about that...
Finally a president again who plays well with others. And the voters don't look like such idiots with Barack as our choice.

do you think that with the changing of the guard at the white house, that you will have less material to inspire your artwork?

32. It's like the Onion article...


http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/black_man_given_nations">Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job

WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break."

41. I'm a cartoonist not a mathematician dammit!
Edited on Thu Nov-06-08 06:52 PM by ddeclue


This cartoonist either doesn't know Obama's age or can't perform basic subtraction.

Obama is 47 years old. This MLK speech was given 45 years ago. Obama was 2 years old not 10.
