… the guy is Uncle Sam (even though he’s kind of fat and doesn’t have a beard).
… Uncle Sam hangs a picture of Reagan in his office.

Some of these RWNJ cartoonists will never give Obama credit for anything. Even though he had 4 years and 5 days of obstruction from Congress and the Senate.

Obama hangs pictures of Chavez, Castro and Putin.

I get it, Obama is a shiftless non-achieving basketball playing kid with a big grin, making excuses to his long-suffering but indulgent nice-guy (white) teacher. I get it.

Maybe if those jobs were not the right-wing ideal jobs (low wage, no benefits and part-time only) there would not be so many working families on food stamps. If the employers paid a fair wage, not the slave wages they get away with thanks to the reDUMBlicans, then people would not meet the income guidelines. And let’s not forget many military families are recipients of food stamps while military contractors get exorbitant, oft times no-bid contracts at 100x’s mark-ups. And also don’t forget the tax-payers funded the researchofr the development of those weapons we are paying for again because that research is factored into the “cost” of those weapons we are buying.
But that’s okay, because your party’s buyers are receiving the government welfare. But when it’s the soldiers receiving it, you’re all up in arms and scream about the “lazy welfare queens,” when many are actually the lives being sacrificed so you can funnel trillions of tax dollars to your party’s owners.

That IS the way Obama described himself in high school in his book, except you didn’t add the cocaine and pot part.

Actually, quite a few animals can hear the higher frequencies.

It is veteran’s day and nobody is stupid today. America is proud of her achievements and even the ignorant get to benefit.

The freedom to hate is one of the freedoms fought for and while other toon comments are with this, for some reason the haters are posting here.

Thank a veteran for the priviledge to be haters.

Obama has a lot to be proud of. As for balancing the budget, we’d be a lot closer if the GOP hadn’t insisted on retaining all of the Bush tax cuts, holding the country hostage, and if the GOP hadn’t insisted on damaging our credit rating. But health care, equal pay for equal work, holding off the depression, he gets an A minus, since the dogs ate some of his assignments.

Now I wonder what “if you hear the whistle, you’re the dog” might mean. Hmm. Spell it out, please, and let’s see if it makes sense.

Varvel is still in love with that loser Reagan.

Dubya’s thesis was titled, “How to Destroy an Economy”.
Personally, I wish he would have kept it a theoretical paper instead of a practical one.

Concerning Benghazi, you may want to look into the CIA who was in charge of the security at that consulate that was within a CIA office.

The job numbers are far worse than 8% but since the Clinton Administration the count has been lower than it really is. Closer to 14% un & under employment. Started under Reagan but only during Clinton did the job numbers improve. Went south again under GWB and we are still feeling it. Some improvement but not nearly enough.
