Some really conservative, well-known cartoonists
who are really unable to draw Obama's likeness
(possibly because they really, really dislike him so much):



Obama as--Mitt Romney (with a tan)?

Chuck Asay, the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph



Obama as--LBJ??

Glenn McCoy, Belleville News-Democrat (Belleville, IL)



Obama as--the way GWB often did look, I'm afraid.
(Poor Ramirez.)

I gacked this from someone at LiveJournal.  It had the caption "What's she holding on to?"  ;D


I'll admit that was my first thought upon seeing the image, even before I read your text in the post. Seriously, what else could a person think?  :laugh:  And why is he wearing a relatively short dress? I hereby suggest that male angels/saints should wear throusers: Protection against flashing mishaps while flyyying through the air. :P


Oh, and Meryl:  ICON LOVE !!!1! as they say other places on the net.  :-*

Hey, I'm enjoying all these cartoon versions of Obama!  :)


In my opinion, most of the cartoonists have found "their" distinct Obama... except the Glenn McCoy and Chuch Asay versions. Especially the latter is hopeless. He hasn't even latched on to the ears!

I laughed at most of these, even some of the Conservative ones... but the one I liked the best, was the Washington Post cat rescue.  :)

The Deer in Headlights cartoon is hopeless as far as a satirical point goes, though. Wishful thinking?

Yes, I love Tom Toles.

Wishful thinking, yes, especially if you want to live in an alternate reality.
Oh well, at least Mr. Ramirez is certainly...consistent....
(Please note: the Oval Office carpet was clean when Mr. Bush was in residence,
according to Mr. Ramirez. Also, look at George Washington's portrait on the wall--
Yike!)
