Best thing about being Prez. You get ALL the neat stuff.

O-o-o-o-o! Make the current occupant of the White House look like a real MAN!
But, at the drop of a peanut (as in Bennett’s brain) any conservative president is a total doofus, an idiot, totally incapable of governing, etc., etc.
Yet another LAUGH OUT LOUD moment reading Bennett’s cartoons.

@Jim Guess
I think the point is that the Cabinet seems to be male-only. Perhaps I’m off base.
Conservatives have good ideas. Liberals have good ideas. There are good people who believe different things. Doesn’t mean one group is always right/wrong.

Jim Guess apparently has a mind polluted by Obama-hatred, and can’t get the reference in this cartoon. Obama has a lot of women in the White House, but is not nominating any women at the cabinet level at this point. It’s a perfectly pertinent criticism. It has nothing to do with calling Obama “manly.” (Though he’s a fine basketball player, so I don’t think anyone but the right-wing knee-jerk troll crowd would call him unmanly.)

Could it be that the capable women all turned Obama down?

The only thing important to Obama is what is in his own mind.

TV-tip: “James May’s Man Lab”. Very funny guy (from UK’s “Top Gear”) shows you how to defuse a German WW2 bomb, serenade a woman or make your own kitchen sink out of concrete. Manly stuff! :-)

Don’t forget when he custom-made his man-cave car, complete with recliner, glass-knob antique lamps, a working fireplace and bookcases. Drove like your den would drive: badly. But what a great show. Captain Slow rocks!

Romney has some binders for Obama…

As I recall, Susan Rice was to be his nominee for Secretary of State… So, maybe he’d have one woman in his new cabinet if not for witch hunting Senators.

Why are his cabinet leaving him?
What do they know about him the rest of us don’t know?
