Political Cartoons: Will the real Obama please stand up



    I did this cartoon as a result of a conversation I was having with someone. We were discussing the loss of the Olympics in the U.S.A. and why the President might have made the journey as he probably already knew that the U.S.A. was out of the running or maybe it wasn’t clear at that point. Who knows? Anyway, during this discussion, the U.N. speech also came up. The topic was the difference in the speeches. On one hand you had a President who was in some instances talking less than positive tone about the U.S.A. and other countries as well in some attempt to get some unity I’m sure. Then a week or two later you have the sales pitch for the Olympics where the U.S.A. and more specifically Chicago was the cat’s meow. It was probably the short time between the two speeches but it struck me as nothing more than pandering to whatever audience happened to be there. Anyway, that’s where this cartoon came from. Enjoy and have a great day.

Harry Reid Cartoons: Nuclear Options and Nobel Prizes



    This cartoon came to life when I heard that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. I thought that was very interesting given that he has talked about what he would like to do and started laying groundwork for those plans but none of it is complete yet and no one really knows if it will lead to a significant enough result to warrant the “Nobel Peace Prize” or at least what I used to think a “Nobel Peace Prize” was all about. Anyway, that, combined with all the talk about using the “nuclear option” on Healthcare Reform led to the creation of this cartoon. Let me say this to be fair, I have not seen or heard Mr. Reid use the term “Nuclear Option”, I believe he called it “Reconciliation option” which both parties have spun into the “Nuclear Option” term when it is politically convenient for them to do so probably because it sounds so scary. It just works better in this cartoon so I figure if they can use it for their political ends, then I will use it for my humor ends. Enjoy and have a great day!

Political Cartoons: Generational Theft


    This cartoon idea came to me unfortunately more than one time during the past few years watching all the spending that has gone on. Things like using IOU’s in the social security fund to pay for other programs and other Ponsi scheme tactics are making it less and less likely those future generations will be unable to enjoy a quality of life that has been afforded to the current generations. I look at all this and wonder one, do our elected officials even think or care about it and two, if they do, what’s the plan or can there be a plan? Is it too far gone at this point and should we begin to prepare our children and children’s children for a lesser quality of life? Just some of the more serious thoughts that roll through my mind from time to time and this cartoon is a result of such thoughts. Enjoy and have a great day.

Obama Cartoons: Obama and Ahmadinejad Talk Timetables



    I got the idea for this cartoon while listening to all the media coverage of the U.N. stuff and Iran’s new but not so new facility that apparently has been known about for some time or at least the building of it has been known. Now that it is complete its news I guess. Let me see if I can follow the logic here. They are building a facility, we know they are, they know we know they are, they put a big message on the roof of it for all satellites to see and this is where they are developing a nuclear bomb……..O.K. if you say so. It just seems more likely that the development of bomb grade material would be someplace a little more secret. Who knows? Anyway with Ahmadinejad firing off or excuse me, “testing”, missle systems and the timing and all, this cartoon popped in to the front of my mind. Enjoy and have a great day!

Funny t-shirts: Give them all the boot in 2010

    This is just a silly little t-shirt design I did on an idea I heard the other day. The idea was something to the effect of just voting all incumbents out of Congress in order to try and get Washington to realize that there are many of us out here in the republic, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian and Independent that have had it with our voices not being represented on the hill. Anyway, this idea popped into my head so I put pen to paper and this is what came of it. Enjoy and have a great day.

Political Cartoon Humor, Speaker Pelosi….I shall not tell a lie.


    I happen to be watching the day that Speaker Pelosi gave her very interesting press conference. I have no idea weather she was telling the truth or not the only thing I could surmise as she stumbled and bumble through it was that she was extremely nervous about something. I have only seen her in a couple of other press type situations and thought she was a confident speaker but I have not a clue what happened last week. It did seem out of character for her. Anyway, since it seems to be “in” to say that people are misleading people all the time on Capitol Hill and the out of character performance by Speaker Pelosi I did this cartoon. Sometimes I wonder if this stuff will ever stop…..probably not but I still wonder. I guess on a selfish note, given that I enjoy doing cartoons like this, I should just be thankful that it does. Hope you enjoy the cartoon and have a great day.

Political Cartoon Humor, The Director of Homeland Security Weighs In


    I had the idea for this cartoon after listening to all the news surrounding the office of Homeland Security and the intelligence community in general. I thought back to when Janet Napolitano threw out the word terrorism and replaced it with Man made Disasters or something along those lines as well as a couple other softer, kinder, gentler terms for the war on terror. It is interesting to watch as the exercise of being politically correct or whatever trying to change terms and words is, take place and the responses that follow. I am sure that there is some point to it but it escapes me personally but I will say that it is entertaining on a certain level. I did this cartoon with that in mind as well as the recent release of the criteria that was allegedly released then not released as to how law enforcement can determine if someone might be a possible domestic terrorist….oooops, I mean, “Someone living in the United States who could possibly be responsible for a Man Made Disaster.” Wow….I lost my kind and gentle politically correct side there for a second. Good thing I caught myself, someone might have taken offense….ha…ha. Anyway, that’s kind of where this Political humor cartoon comes from. Enjoy and have a great day.

Political Cartoon Humor: Bo weighs in on Cap and Trade

    I had the idea for this cartoon a week or so ago when the media was covering some of the particulars on Cap and Trade. During that same time frame there where reports on the “first dog”, Bo. The two of these things bumbled a jumbled around for a while as I listened to the positive and negatives on Cap and Trade. It is interesting to me, as for as the debate about carbon emissions go, that people think that it is going to make some spectacular difference. The only reason I say this is because even if we go through the pains involved in making all the energy changes, their is no way China, Russia and India which are large economies are in a position or even want to stop burning oil and coal as a chief energy source. My point is that the carbon emissions coming from these up and coming countries is most likely going to be far greater in the future than the US could ever accuse itself of in the arena of carbon emissions, just a thought. The result of all of this thought was this cartoon so enjoy and have a great day.

Political Cartoon Humor, Playing Obama

    I was listening to the news about how the new administration decided it was best to let the head of GM go and our current treasury secretary say that is was a possibility that the head of a bank could also be a possibility for early retirement. It is interesting that government is making those decisions and not the boards of those companies. Don’t get me wrong, as far as the head of GM or some of the other heads of companies go, if there performance has been less than stellar for a decade or so then that is probably what should happen to them. I’m just not sure it should be a group of people which have, for the most part, not run any type of business entity. It is definitely very interesting to watch as is the reactions that seem to be bubbling up right now. It was these things that gave me the idea for this cartoon. Enjoy and have a great day.

Political Cartoon Humor, The Use of Political Capital

    There has been a lot of talk this week about the AIG bonuses, Government Budgets, the economy and a variety of other subjects including the President going on late night TV, another first for a standing president. I thought of this cartoon because of this late night TV appearance. It seems to me that whenever a perceived crisis, conspiracy or whatever you want to call it, the president leaves Washington and to cash in on some of that popularity capital that he has been given from his followers. The reason I say this is that he remains popular as a president while the policies seem to be loosing traction which would indicate that he has done a good job of separating himself from his policies. If that is the plan it seems to have worked thus far. Anyway, it gave me the idea for this cartoon. Enjoy and have a great day.

Down at the Government Think Tank

    I was thinking about all the missteps and gaffs as well as all the examples of people in government posturing for their next election cycle only to have to re-posture because the first one ended up putting them on the un-popular side of an issue. It must be mind numbing to be a politician right now.

    (Wait…wait….did I hear a collective “poor babies”……..oh no sorry my mistake…..it was just crickets.)

    Anyway, back to my point. I did this cartoon several years ago and it seemed to fit in the context of a Government Think Tank or Lack of Think Tank. Enjoy and have a great day.

Political Cartoon Humor, Republicans and Democrats on Pork Bills

    This cartoon came as a result of a lot of different stimulus. First is the talk about the Governments domestic budget both now and in the future but most of all the 8500 plus ear marks of “pork” that’s in its current form. I have been listening to the back and forth about how one side defends it by saying its last year’s business even though it runs through September of this year. I guess the general consensus on Capitol Hill is that we the American people are all not intelligent enough to figure that one out. Bottom line is that it does not matter what year it is for, promises are promises and President Obama made the promise to the American people that pork or ear marks would not be part of his administration. Oh well, I guess we are all suppose to shrug like we have so many times in the past and give them a pass like so many times in the past. The second stimulus came from all this talk about how officials are using things like twitter and the like to communicate to …….I’m not sure who. I thought it would be funny to put them in a setting similar to the pop-culture crowd. What would they say? Well, here is the result of all of that mess. Enjoy and have a great day.

Political Cartoon Humor, How will Obama-nomics affect evolution?

    I have been listening to everyone cut up the budget that has been presented with increases and cuts. It is interesting to see someone try to defend it. There are a couple of things that make it interesting to me. One, the numbers that are being reported state that there is an overall increase in spending. Setting aside the earmarks that were said would not be part of Obamas budget but have somehow found a home there from both parties, it is interesting to me that the president has said that many things have been cut back as if that is a good thing based on the total amount being larger than last year. (The rationalization is truly frightening)

    Question: How do these people define fiscal responsibility? Anyone…..anyone…..Buller……Buller

    The second thing is that I seem to remember a line by line look at the budget and using a scalpel rather than an axe being portrayed during the campaign. Did the scalpel get lost in the move or maybe it is just a scalpel that is as sharp as a butter knife. Not sure but it got me thinking of where this might all be heading so being in a cynical and sarcastic mood, I came up with this cartoon. Enjoy and have a great day all.
