2. Looks like Obama is about ready to turn that hose on the
Republican!

Who richly deserves it...

3. Except that Obama looks the furthest thing from stooped, tired, and defeated to me.

5. Good point..that would be
what a fireman looked like literally when putting out all those gigantic fires but in his job.. President Obama is able to do the work And keep fit.

Like the attention to detail of his fireman's cap, though.

21. The expression on his face...
Edited on Thu Apr-29-10 10:21 AM by badgerpup
...reads (to me, at least) "I have had...just...about...ENOUGH of you" :grr:

(as he ponders the merits of the hose VS those of the axe)

12. They'd need about 6 gas cans with that label.
Reagan and the Bewshes' predecessors were not only smarter, but more fiscally responsible than them. "Hey, let's blow the National Credit Card on the military and the wealthy! YEAH! Grab the whiskey, I'll take the wheel!"

Stupid shits.

you know, when it was standard practice not to pay for things (per Orrin Hatch)

17. This is what you want to be sending your RW relatives and friends
who just don't seem to get it (mostly because they don't read and are glued to Faux and Crazy Radio.

You could also add a Tea-Bagger to that cartoon that would bitch about the cost of the water used.

22. Love the symbolism of Obama as the "socialist" fireman.
Wish he wasn't drawn so weakly.

27. Looks right, one's talking, and the other is acting like he'll do something he's all dressed up, he
has the equipment, but hi's not actually addressing the problem.

31. except until very recently, Obama was asking them for water, getting gas, & pretending it was water
GOP ideas are the problem and Obama's reforms are too often applying slightly less of them instead of chucking them altogether.

32. If only their number was negligible...
The Republican Party of 1956. Taken from their party platform.


We believe that basic to governmental integrity are unimpeachable ethical standards and irreproachable personal conduct by all people in government. We shall continue our insistence on honesty as an indispensable requirement of public service. We shall continue to root out corruption whenever and wherever it appears.

We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs—expansion of social security—broadened coverage in unemployment insurance —improved housing—and better health protection for all our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people.

We shall continue vigorously to support the United Nations.

Dwight Eisenhower summed it up perfectly.

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.

-- Letter to Edgar Newton Eisenhower, his brother (1954-11-08)
