Gush, Bore.

More media lust for Obama.

It will matter. When Jimmy Obama Carter loses in the general election or, if he wins, can't fix the economy.

You'll see, Liberal Elite.

When Jimmy Obama Carter loses in the general election or, if he wins, can't fix the economy.

...then what? Assuming Obama wins and can't fix the economy, what should we do? Go back to the republicans, who at least screw up the economy in spectacular fashion, while doing a reverse-Midas touch on everything else that comes along?

Seriously, once Bush is out and a responsible adult is in, we're going to be giddy simply by listening to the president speak without feeling a deep sense of shame. By following the most failed presidency in US history, the Obama Administration will look like philosopher kings to most people, even if all they are is regular politicians.

In 2000 the mainstream media kept the theme of Gush/Bore/It Doesn't Matter!

At least we could have some hard-hitting articles on Barry or Hussein or whatever he's calling himself today.

This cartoon is simply more Obama LUST.

It's going to be as destructive as Gush/Bore 2000.

You'll see.

It's not as if Americans have made lots of mistakes they kick themselves over in the past 8 years...........

anything would be better than the past 7 years.....

I think his given first name is Barak but that his family called him Berry as a nickname; at least until Barak himself insisted that they use his actual name.

Obama lust vs. more of the past 7 years?

Obama!

But you'll miss the 90's (Clinton) even more in the 2000-teens.....

of course we're all doomed now, but at least we've been warned!

PS - jclarkdumfuk, just piss off, ok?

I'm witcha you, vaporland--it's great, and if Dave Barry were a cartoonist, this is how he'd develop his material!

...but I really liked "Billbot malfunctioning, send another."

How true, and I like Bill.

Does anyone else recognize all the villainous Muslims? Farrakhan and Qadafi I get. And is that John Lindh? Who are the others?

We should really rather listen to the "sensible" voices that cost the Democrats all three houses from 2000 to 2006, who want us to have the candidate who endorsed the opposing party's presidential candidate.

You know, those Democrats who supported the war because it was more politically expedient to kill hundreds of thousands of people, than to risk getting called a traitor.

The Democrats who voted for the war without even having bothered to read the full NIE. After all, most of those people weren't Americans so they don't matter right?

The Democrats who when faced with a president whose unpopularity is second only to Nixon, who is noted for approving of torture, who violated American treaties, whose administration is notable for the brazen manner in which it shelters the corrupt, who has done more to destroy everything America stands for than the bloody Soviet Union, took impeachment off the table.

Or are you saying we should listen to the "Conservatives" who bankrupted America, got America stuck in two wars, dramatically failed on American security on 9/11, actually admitted to treating government contracts as political favours, and had one of the only partisan corruption scandals in America's history (K-Street)?

In short:

Given the choice between the "sensible" , the Republicans and those dirty Liberals, after this last few years?

I'll take my chances with the liberals.

Ruben ol' man, I think you've been reading waaaay too much of the "conservative" comic book Liberality (www.accstudios.com)! :-)

OK, it took me a minute, but I think what JClarkd is getting at is that there's been too much personality reporting and not nearly enough deep pieces on any of the candidates. I don't think, though, that this was meant as Obama lust, even in a backhanded manner - it's a look at the paranoid right wingers who have such a loose grip on reality that they make the SDS types of the 60s look like rational people.

On another topic: How long do you think it will be before some right-wing blog picks this up and, totally missing the sarcasm, repeats it as fact? That sort of thing has already happened with articles from The Onion, such as the Onion piece about a woman planning a post-abortion party.

Is it "Obama lust" just because it dares to suggest Obama might not be a "secret Muslim" attempting to sell us out to the Arab world?

I think some of you are making too much of the punchline--since the whole strip is an absurdist fantasy of Barack Obama's origins, it's a clever twist that Clinton and McCain would get tossed in as Manchurian and Alien Overlord candidates.

I can only respond to alien Hillary like Roddie Piper:

"Ha"!!..."figures it'd be something like this"....

Clark, can you possibly miss the point by an even wider margin? The right is trying to get some traction on Obama being a secret Muslim. Bolling is merely pointing out the aburdity of their claim by illustrating it. It is shaking a finger at the right and the media that gives this ridiculous claim a stage, and outside of that, isn't propping up Obama in any significant way.

Some of you Hillary supporters are so damn uptight. I'm sorry your candidate isn't doing as well as you would like. And I'm sorry she has been acting like such a petulant ass about it. And I'm sorry she made such a total fool of herself on the Bosnia trip issue that she entirely created herself. I really am. She is not as bad as this candidacy has made her become. But I'm not sorry that she hasn't just been handed the nomination that so many of her supporters seem to think she is entitled to.

My first three choices for nominee dropped out before I could even have a say, but I, or the many others i know like me don't exhibit near the sour grapes that you folks do.

I think the reason this qualifies as "Obama lust" is because half the cartoons in the world seem to mock Hillary and McCain, the other half, like this one, mock people who don't like Obama.

There are plenty of things worth mocking about Obama... except that, as history has shown, anyone who brings up anything vaguely unpleasant about Obama or his past is immediately labeled a racist. Without the fear of the brand of racism hanging over their heads, I think we would be seeing a lot more fun being poked at a coke-snorting idealogue who compares himself to MLK and JFK in the same breath that he denounces the so-called culture wars of the 60s, this guy who was raised in middle class suburbia who had to attend a hardline black church and change his entire identity just to get elected in Chicago, only to have to distance himself from that new identity in the face of national politics. Obama is just a rich young dweeb who thinks he can change the world. Unfortunately half the people reading this comment already think I must be an unforgiably racist cretin: That's why comics like this are a form of "Obama lust." No one has the guts to make fun of Obama. Which is sad, because having to face a little honest criticism might actually make him a stronger candidate.
