Transcript:
Democrats attack me with smears cuz I criticize Obama. (Man: Racist! Philogynist!) (Man 2: But- drones?!?) I give up. There are more of them than there are of me. So, how to draw Obama in a way that doesn't in a way that doesn't offend Democrats? Can't draw him white. That would deny his blackness. Draw Obama too black and you're racist. There's the abstract symbol route smiley face? Drone? Monster? A green one? No one is green. Smiley. Democrats can't criticize that. (Man 1: He's yellow?!? Sinophobe!)

Sorry the political correctness has gotten out of hand. I’ve never taken offense at the depiction of Obama drawn by Ted Rall.

Don’t let up, Ted! And I am confident you will never go the Doonsbury route – scared to criticize the Democrats! Obama and the Dems are murderers who represent the dictatorship of capital. Oh, but wait, that’s too “negative”. We’re all supposed to be rich so we can live in that makebelieve land of “good” capitalists" and “bad” capitalists. . .

Maybe a strawman or a red herring….

You can’t please everybody, so do what you think is right.

“No one is green.” Still lmao over that one.

Nice one, Ted. Ya just can’t win. (Aside: I still think that my suggestion for a Mussolini assassination comic (back in your WaPo days) should have been accepted.)

Grownups take a few lumps and move on.

Welcome to being a Republican, Ted. I would suggest drawing an empty suit, but that’s a little Trudeau-esque.

Ha, right, like it.

Guilty as charged. I’m negative about the many negative things Obama has done and is doing and I say negative things about them. As for Gen X, well, read Doug Coupland.

Agreed on all points.

Good thing I’m not smart because being positive is the opposite of my job. Positive editorial cartoon = greeting card (<—Mike Lester)
