McCain's flag
And yet, McCain doesn't even wear a flag himself. Nor does Clinton, as far as I can tell. How did this ever become an Obama issue?
-
Why is Obama asked about patriotism?
@Whisper:
For the same reason that Reverend Wright, a man who helped operate on a President of the United States, has been called an America hater.
For the same reason that conservatives reverends who called for the overthrow of the US government because they don't call for the blood of gay people are just expressing their religious beliefs.
For the same reason that Hagee can state that a hurricane that left thousands dead, hundreds of thousands homeless, isn't called insane for saying it was because of a parade. After all, it only effected black people, since obviously God doesn't hate white people when he sends a hurricane through Florida and Georgia.
Because he's black. And that's the only reason. Oh, he didn't put his hand over his heart during the Star Spangled Banner - he must be an America hater, because he's black. Why is he asked about Harry Belefonte's statements by Tim Russert, when the two men don't share anything - other than color?
Let's not kid ourselves. By the standards of the media and the conservatives, only liberals and black people can be unpatriotic when they speak out against America's policies and actions. After all, America is *always* Good and Just, and therefore should *never* be spoken out against. Unless, of course, a Democrat is in office - then its their duty.

I liked this T.T. because of the American band aid gauze on McCain's jaw. Cool.
Hillary would get Tom Tomorrow's vote if Barack Obama drove a old Chevy pickup truck with a rain umbrella rack.
Hillary needs to assure Bill is not all washed up. Bill can run a third term escorting young buxom interns.
Hillary? Go rest?
Vote for bawlers.
B. Obama is detritus? Just scroll over everything. B. Obama is elitist? Just drink mason jars of Angry-web brand Balloon shark juice? huh? Ignore it.
Scroll over this detritus. This is stooped GC elitist. Ask Mr. 'A'? Who is he? Never mind that. Mr 'A' has big biceps? Who cares. He gets his ego bruised. boo boo. Some people just need constant stroked and patted on the back. They are like Horace Walpole huh. Walpole was a politician too and wrote from a Castle called Otranto. ( detritus ) Horace wrote a Gothic novel.
`detritus? sthu!
If B. Obama and Hillary ever go to the Green Nottingham Forrest, I hope they hold hands and search for Spring mushrooms. That's real hick food. Instead of visiting a military brass's commissary for bowling shoes, matching socks, or to buy a kite to fly..... Visit a rural butcher shop for some fresh slain Billy Goat meat? It's a favorite deluxe sandwich 'round here on a wheat sub bun. Enjoy a home made Reuben Hood beef?
It's choped goat meat. Cook slain goat on a open outdoor hearth. Toss leftovers in a cracked bowl. Use some shucked yellow kernel corn from last year. Also ~ Popping up now is fresh Spring asparagus. Just Add goat and just about anything to a batch of hillbilly morel mushroom soup? That's gourmet? That's elitist? Vote for who don't pluck the eyebrows.
Do you know where to get a flag band aids that is 12" X 12"?

pitch perfect
As usual.
Just perfect and raucously funny.
-
Tom
Tell it the way it is...that was hilariously funny!

when will our country split into two?
Obama is elitist. Come on. Stephanopoulos may be wealthy, but he never committed a "cling" blunder. (did he?)
Each of the three candidates has flaws. I'll *easily* take Obama with his elitism (and inexperience) over the other two. If blue collar Sarkozy can lead France then Obama can do the US. Snazz us up a bit.
Who's more annoying to whom, by the way: the elite or the fat-eaters? (Reminds me of a good piece in the Onion - click my name). How many years until the US splits into Redovia and Bluelandia? Perhaps 100,000 max.

Spot-on, as usual
They really ought to make mainstream media folks read this strip until they get it. Of course, that could take a long time.
-
I'd hate that
Yep, I'd sure hate for the president to be learned, well-read, intelligent, familiar with the world around him or her, as well as curious about it, and be able to interact with the leaders of the world with out making a complete embarrassing laughing stock of our country by saying something completely inappropriate like, oh say, "Awesome speech" to the pope as you pass each other on the stage, like the pope just popped an awesome wheelie.
-
Is it just me,
or does Mr. Tomorrow generally achieve more in a few panels than certain Salon writers do with 2000-3000 words?
-
Tom Tomorrow
This is awesome. A great example of how simple satirical humor can be far more effective than massive, self-indulgent essays written by blogger blowhards.
And to whoever wrote that "Attention Pundits!" article (I think it was Traister), I hate to break it to you, but you ARE pundits.
Cheers.
-
cling and elitism
I think TT may be off a bit: Obama's blunder was verb (cling), not adjective (bitter).
And this strip is about elitism, not elites. Two very different things.
Awesome strip, Tom.
-
If this goes on...
With six months to go before the election, things can only degenerate to "in how tender a part of your body do you have a piercing for your American flag pin?"
-
"elitist" is a word invented by losers
I've never considered "elitist" to be an insult. I would really prefer that my President be better than I am in all ways - particularly education, ethics, and intelligence.
-
@clamshell Huh??
"blue collar Sarkozy"
I'm wondering if you don't know what the phrase "blue collar", means, or anything about Sarkozy. Or both?
-
Great stuff
Outstanding; TT has the ability to reduce the issues down to their essence. As an aside I have to say that the position of "leader of the free world" is vacant at the moment. As far as applications from the US are concerned, don't call us - we'll call you.

AS Jon Stewart said...
I paraphrase "I want sombody elite running my country, someone who speaks 16 languges and knows quantum physics. We tried a average idiot and that didn't work."
