Obama is Re- Elected!

POTUS Man

Likely Voters

State of the Union

Why do I think this "marriage of convenience" for the night

is a bad idea for Dems? Because I'm cynical and believe

Dems will politely hold their applause, rather than

appear self-interested or show-off like. This will

in turn lead to massive flop sweat from our leader. 

Just what we DON'T need.

All Democrats Want For Christmas

After my first Obama disappointment ( Rick Warren delivering 
 inaugural prayer ), a promised myself I wasn't going to do any negative
Obama cartoons because  1. I don't want to give the Repubs any ammo for their nasty,
dishonest, cynical, meanspirited, full metal jacket, anti-Obama campaign and ...
2. Obama is STILL WAY, WAY better than any Republican.
 But with all due respect, Obama is no businessman. 
 As far as deal-making,  he had the wrong Emmanuel brother . 
Hollywood agent Ari would have been better .  
Worst thing I can say: Honeymoon's over.

Midterms HEART Korans

Midterms HEART Koran


How come there’s never a John McCain around when you need him? There are so many John McCains, I’ll have to specify: I’m talking about the voice of reason John McCain who set the old lady straight when she thought incorrectly, that Obama was a Muslim. Where’s that guy? Oh yeah, Midterm elections are only 60 days away. Republicans are in full metal jacket campaign mode. They’re not going to help anyone from our side. In fact, they will hurt us if it helps them. This is why Boehner took forever to answer, when asked if he thought the Koran should be burned and why his answer was so non-committal. The Republican plan is so obvious. Nobody would have to break into Watergate to figure out this strategy. Here it is:

1. Encourage hatred of Muslims. Use a building or a book burning to get your point across: Muslims are dark, mysterious, hate us and are secretly planning to kill us. They already outnumber us and they’re serial breeders.

2. Don’t correct any rumors about Obama being big secret Muslim. (If Muslims are bad and Obama’s one of them – bully for us.) Use Obama’s middle name constantly. You know the truth, but if it gets votes, who cares?

3. Engage Dems in constitutional discussions where they are constantly forced to defend Muslims on national TV.

4. Identify your most gullible followers: i.e.: If they believe Jesus rode on a dinosaur they will believe anything you tell them).

5. Teach them to read.

6. Get these gullible followers to register to vote in the Midterms. Give them a list of the chosen Repub. candidates that they can take into their polling booths.

7. Drive them to the polls and give them a free loaf of bread afterwards.

8. Repubs prevail in Midterms.

9. Repubs in Congress take away all gains by Obama admin – weaken healthcare etc. Repubs ruin everything again (and we let them because Dems are PUSSIES! There, I said it again).
**
We have got to get the truth out there because the naive and ill informed are being exploited for votes by the Christian right. If the Repubs win congress, I dread the future. Dems have got to find voters and get them to the polls. It’s our only hope. I am as scared now as I was before Obama’s election night. My worst fear (after fear that an orange man from Mad Men will be Speaker) is: What if Ruth Bader Ginsberg retires? This is serious. It’s all serious.

President Swims in Gulf

I just loved this afternoon's photo op. I wonder how many papers will print it Sunday? I'm sure the Repubs don't want any wholesome Kennedy-esque images planted in any voter's minds -
let alone a reminder the spill disaster got fixed faster than anticipated.

I've posted the newspaper headline that inspired it in a box on the 'toon.  Does it help or hurt? Write me.

Obama Visits Afghanistan

First he tackled healthcare Reform! Then he decided F the Repubs, he's going to make recess appointments! And today he's off to Afghanistan! Wow! This man is my hero!

Had a really hard time drawing the teabagger in the foreground.  I was also very torn about creating this image in the first place - but isn't that what we're all worrying about - what with these images of senators in cross hairs and threatening messages from the gun-toting fringe? 

Love your comments!

President Still Smoking

After his annual physical, it was revealed that Obama was still smoking.   I thought it would get more press than it has.  Damn that newbee earthquake! Meanwhile the No-To-Everything Repubs are getting mighty annoying.

Health Care Shot

If Mitch McConnell actually read the president's reasonable HealthCare plan (only 11 pages!), would he be howling like this? Or is this why he's actually howling - because he so wanted the Dems to fail?

HealthCare Forum

After Obama's stellar performance fielding questions at the recent Repub. conference, Mitch McConnell has second thoughts about televising the long-promised HealthCare Forum event (because Obama is too goddam reasonable).

Hardest thing =  making a gag when the facts are like a gag. 

Since the Repubs are acting like children, I went with the kiddie party.   The sign is a mouthful, I know - but you try it!  My art is lame (That's a cake Pelosi is holding).  I hate labelling  people, so I omitted the obvious.   Thoughts?

Underwear Bomber

After taking criticism for Miranda-ing the Underpants Bomber, I LOVED the recent news that the whacko sang like a bird  after Obama sent for his parents.  So much for Bushie-Woo waterboarding!

Biggest problem was getting 5 people and lots of dialogue into such a small space.  Took me all day.   Now I just noticed the table is wrong. Well, I hope you laugh anyway.

State of the Union

My favorite editorial cartoons are those that combine two current events.  Here I mixed Obama's triumphant State of the Union message last night with the image of the darling Haiti boy who was pulled from the rubble after a week. 

HAUNTING ME: Was it a mistake to use a 10 day old image? Have people forgotten? Do I watch way more 24 hr news than the average person and not everybody saw this boy?

Love your comments! Karyl

How Obama Can Win Republican Votes

HOW OBAMA CAN WIN REPUBLICAN VOTES

Okay this is going to sound really stupid, but I’ve figured out an obvious and simple way to get Republicans to vote with Democrats on the Stim Package (and everything else from now on)! My first thought was Obama missed his big chance at his Bi-Partisan Super Bowl party: He should have fed the Repubs Ecstasy laced nachos. But then I realized A. They would have slept it off by voting time, and B. There’s probably some law against it, and C. The Republicans shouldn’t have been invited to Obama’s party at all.

What - say you? Exclusion’s not the Democratic way! We’re the truly bi-partisan ones – or aspire to be. That’s what we love Obama; he embraces his enemies. I admit I know bupkes about Washington. But applying the show business logic I learned in the trenches of Hollywood, I’m guessing what really happens in congress, happens away from congress with a Jim Beam in your hand. Being invited to the best parties is the coin of the realm. Before the Bi-Partisan White House Super Bowl party, I can just imagine the jockeying, the Emails and gossip about who was and who wasn’t going to be invited. I’m surprised cell phone towers didn’t melt just from the activity.

Just think of the parent brownie points you could earn for bringing your offspring to the White House to eat pizza and chill with the First Daughters! That’s something they can brag about at Show and Tell for the next 70 years. “I was part of history at the first Obama White House Super Bowl Party. Nya.” Nya, indeed.

COOL PARTIES AT THE White House are Obama’s ace in the hole and he’s been squandering it, bending over backwards and being nice to his enemies… and what good did it do? Why should Republicans who DON’T vote with Obama be rewarded with the same cool party invitations as people who DO vote with him?

Let’s face it everybody: A beer with the boss is a golden opportunity. From now on I say make the Republicans work for their invitations. The RULES: If you want to be part of the IN crowd, you’ve got to kiss up to us, like voting our way.

Were the three Republicans who voted for the Stimulus Package guests at Obama’s Super Bowl Party? If so, they and only they understood the true meeting of Quid Pro Quo. All others who partook of the bi-partisan guacamole and voted No should be taken off the White House invitation list immediately! No more kicking back with the most powerful man on the planet. No more pitching your state’s particular stimulus needs over a brewski with the leader of the free world. As Heidi would say: You are out!

So that’s my Bi-Partisan Congressional Unity Plan. Note to the WH party planning person: Delete all Republicans (except the three who voted with us) from all future parties until they learn their lesson.
