1. Typical one-sided portrayal
that ignores all the liberal things he has done on each of those issues. Tom is doing his part to dampen spirits and convince everyone that change is impossible. Good job, Tom.

3. Dude, it's a six-panel cartoon
You want to represent your fawning obeisance to President McDreamy? Learn to draw.

4. Dude, it's a dishonest drumbeat.
Limbaugh only tells half the story day in and day out too. It presents an inaccurate and misleading portrayal and it's really all TT ever does. I know some people never get tired of being in a constant state of outrage but I like to look at both the good and the bad.

5. So here's your opportunity to correct the record. Let's see the list.
I'm sure if Obama is as wonderful and progressive as you say, you'll have no problem coming up with a bunch of genuinely left-wing policies he's implemented.

12. This is faith based politics.
You shouldn't ask them to actually have any, you know, evidence or proof to back up their blind belief.

Not a NYT editorial. Fer chrissakes.

19. That's how art works, doesn't it?
Strip away all the fluff and lay it out bare. But it's never meant to be "fair and balanced". That's all a lie anyway.

18. Any hint of dissent must be crushed immediately
Lest the general population realize exactly how many clothes the emperor is wearing.

24. I see blind faith in people who
unquestionably accept every accusation that Obama is betraying the left without checking it out. Dissent is not defined by dishonesty or gullibility.

28. Weakest dodge ever.
Identifying your faults and trying to lay them on those who call you on them.

How about a list of those things that you find the administration has done that you don't like, things that make you angry and that you find disturbing. Then I'll trade you with my list of appreciations.

Because honest left of center policies are just too extremist for regular Americans!

29. Here you go (link inside). Also you can ACT as if this list hasn't been posted1324o;1n2 times before
...on this site but you lose credibility with those who are going to remain objective.

33. from their top 25 promises: 3 kept:
1. require children to have health insurance.
2. send two additional brigades to afghanistan.
3. reform mandatory minimum sentences


#3, when you read the fine print, turns out to be: obama ordered a review. no actual changes have been made, nor will they be anytime soon. the results aren't due for a year.

#2, = escalation, just like the military wants. big deal, i didn't want two more brigades there in the first place.

#1 = the fulfillment of #1 is supposedly allowing parents to keep kids on their own insurance until they're 26.

come on, this is bogus stuff.

34. And, once again, not one of these "accomplishments" can be possibly called "progressive".
Not even close.

36. Limbaugh may only tell half the story, but it's less than 1% truth.
Tom Tomorrow might not be telling the 'whole' story either, but it's a freaking 6 panel political cartoon, not a novel. As far as 6 panel political cartoons go, it's pretty damned good.

that's why Loyalists keep focused on political pro wrestling and theater--conflicts between individuals and factions, without regard for actual policy

is too easy. It is so sad that there are so many of them.
