   Words? Just words?

   Oops - asked and answered, never mind.

   I see 9/26. Can’t tell what year.

   Clearly, Obama is so awesome not even the fourth wall can contain him.

   (And if you click on the strip, you’ll see it’s 5-26, not 9-26)

   Well, it says “words are your friends”, so it’s definitely not from the W era. Must have been for Clinton.

   Learning on the fly. Very characteristic of the Big O’s administration.

   pschearer,
   yeh, that’s the problem when you don’t hire hardened criminals to begin with, like the previous administration.

   The date is 5/26, you just need to enlarge the print to see it clearly.

   wndrwrthg,
   Good point. The soft criminals from the Clinton administration can handle this pseudo-president just fine.

   It must be wishful thinking to read 9/26 on the panel. Is the O’s godlike persona so perfect that GT wouldn’t dare take any little swipe at him during his 4 years in office?

   But not to worry, friends. The punch lines won’t land anywhere near the Golden Child. As in yesterday’s strip, GT will feed BHO his talking points - just like a teleprompter - to drudge up the same-old same-old on George and Richard.

    “The same-old same-old”? Not a fresh and substantive point like the fact that he uses a teleprompter?

    Oh my gawd, after 8 years of cringing every time Junior opened his mouth and butchered his mother tongue, people have the nerve to take potshots at Obama? Have you no shame at all? None what-so-ever?

    If people I had supported lied as much and as often and as badly as the repiglicons have been doing lately, I’d hide in shame. Obviously we have more sociopaths that originally thought.

    How could yesterday’s strip be 9-25 and today’s be 9-26 if yesterday’s had a reference to Dick Cheney and today’s is a clear follow-up to yesterday’s?

    It’s a 5. You people need to have your eyes checked.

    And BINGO!! A flag magically appears in the 4th panel.

    Right on Rottmom, we’re never happy. Bush was too dumb, Big O is too smart. The American public is just like Goldilocks. We want one that is just right.

    At least ZIP is not explaining how the strip works.

    Don’cha love rookies

    Nemesys, what does BHO stand for?

    Definitely it’s 5-26. Which means - guess what! - today.

18. 

    Allan Brown said, 5 months ago

    @Rina the use of BHO Just guessing it is for

    Barrack Hussien Obamma just all the initials which sound a lot better than BO and any reference to why we have OS that’s Old Spice in longhand

    DeeBerg - From yesterday - That’s exactly what I thought!

    DP. unlike Bush II, Obama won a fair and clean election very handily. The polite term for Bush II’s victories is “squeakers.” Nothing pseudo about that, and if you start talking about birth certificates, GTFO.

    peterkeenan said, 5 months ago

    Yep, definitely 5-26. Of course over here (in Australia) we’d write 26.5.

    You lost the election you guys. By a wide margin. Now try to clean up your act and behave or you will lose the next one by an even wider margin. (But don’t get your hopes up of winning.)

    I thought so, Dypak, you naughty boy you!

    ppaneuhaus said, 5 months ago

    I thought the whole point of the strip today was that it’s hard(er) to make fun of BHO than of W. The strip today isn’t funny… Also, we don’t know yet what iconography GT has chosen to represent Obama or Biden, do we? Or Michelle, either!

25. 

    laughaday said, 5 months ago

    I believe there’s a flag in the third panel, too; it’s just not colored in.

    You ever wonder if the people who snipe at Obama in these comments do so because they don’t have any meaningful contributions to make on the issues?

    yyyguy said, 5 months ago

    either that or it’s hidden by the angle of the viewpoint. i was in dc 2 weeks ago and took a photo. don’t remember a flag, will have to check. (maybe BHO wasn’t home at the time? up here in canuckistan the flag flies on the PM’s residence only when he or she is present)
