The more disturbing aspect about this ’toon is that these congresspersons, (most of them), seem not to care.about public confidence. Arrogance reigns on Capitol Hill.
http://www.humanevents.com/2014/06/16/congressional-job-approval-lowest-in-gallup-history/-Gallup=“the lowest number seen since Gallup started measuring the number in 1974”….16% job approval of Congress.-Varvel’s ’toon is based on fact.-I think it was La Gov. Jindal quoted recently that there is a revolution brewing In the voting public….-I know that I am angry at everybody in power in D.C. and I have voted since Ike for the best candidate on the ballot, but mostly my vote was useless, my biggest “win” was voting for 2 terms of Reagan…..who had the best beliefs in how government should operate and the best beliefs in how to face down enemies like the USSR and Red China. And his election and public support for Reagan was in contrast with the “elite” of the GOP, the RINO leadership still fighting conservatives in 2014. IMO, 535 Congressional and President/VP CLAY FEET EXPOSED.
It’s ALL sides, sticking their tongues out at each other in perceived victory or defeat that’s worn the underpinnings of confidence down. When will all sides decide to just shut up and work together for a common good. Now – I’ve given y’all a common thing to yap at.
Undercut by rightwing fatcats who fire up phony “scandals” like Whitewater, Troopergate, Benghazi, IRS, etc etc etc, and the silly suckers who draw cartoons promoting these bogus campaigns without being smart enough to get some of the loot for themselves.
“attack propaganda machine has evidently been successful”.Not attacking, just not blinded by idol worship. Fewer people working today then when Obama took office, far more people on public assistance, economic indicators have not been this dreadful in 30 years, since Carter.
“He never left, Obama is serving Bush’s 3rd and 4th Presidential Terms.”.Not necessarily. He’s adopted the worse from The Shrub, Slick Willie and made up his own screw ups.

As soon as it’s on the news, Obama will learn about it, just like everything else.

^^ If you oppose Obama these days, you’re an “Obstructionist”.But for 8 years before him, opposing everything Bush did made you “Courageous”.Hmm…..

This country was built on hope… and hate. As are they all.

“……Wow! Out of the first six comments, two were perspicacious……”.Yes, but the other four transmogrified into an ideological asseveration.
