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.

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.

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?

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
