   The cartoonist has it right. This is exactly how BO treats the US’s problems…throw money at the people. He acts like he’s at a revival when he speaks.
   As this cartoon depicts, he comes across as a religious figure. So much for separation of church and state.

   Really, Calvinandquestionmark? And here I thought this was a commentary on how the newspaper industry’s dying and nobody outside the newspaper industry seems to be taking it seriously enough. Not even our leaders.

   I have a question. Do the press remove their shoes from off their feet when in the presence of the Great I AM BO?

   all right guys take it outside or down the street. This comic has been a sea of tranquility with no one deeming worthy of comment at all until now. It gets, PERHAPS, a touch political, and sudenly the great ones have to come in, open their mouths and prove how much they do not know.

   If you’re talking to me, I don’t know why because that’s what the cartoon depicts. That’s what the cartoonist is saying.

   Calvin, “He comes across as a religious figure” is the only part of your post that has anything to do with what the cartoonist is saying. The rest (separation of church & state, throwing money at the people being the way Obama deals with problems) is your interpretation, and I interpret it differently. I think it’s a straight-forward comment on the sinking newspaper industry.

    Brendan you said that this
    is “your interpretation, and I interpret it differently. I think it’s a straight-forward comment ”
    I agree. It’s open to interpretation, but in my opinion I think this is what is being conveyed

    redskins fan, remember, what doesn”t kill you, makes you stronger! And look at it this way, you really are setting an example, even if nobody else notices. LOL

    Gee, I thought the dying newspaper gig was obvious… all presidents and most executives sound like that. I figured to Lamont, the white house press room is like a visit from a major diety… Sure, press will always comment on the ones in power. It’s their job (including the cartoonists!).

    Now that’s really a hoot. I especially like Helen Thomas at the bottom right.

    WSFN’s comment has me thinking: I think a lot of what we’re shown is entirely from Lemont’s perspective. He never expected to be here, maybe it is like meeting a deity for him. For that matter, maybe Roxanne isn’t the evil harpy she seems to be, C-Dog isn’t as ignorant as he seems, and Susan isn’t as ideal as she seems. There’ve been some hints about how Lemont might be a Walter Mitty type who sometimes makes up his own reality: like that time he supposedly confronted the guy who cut ahead of him in line at the supermarket, or those times he told Susan exaggerated stories about the birds that attacked him, or the time “Writer’s Block” literally beat him half to death. Then there was the whole “Apocalypse Now” mission that no one but Lemont seemed to have noticed he went on. How much of what we see is real, and how much it is Lemont’s imagination?
