Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Ramirez combines an encyclopedic knowledge of the news with a captivating drawing style to create consistently outstanding editorial cartoons.
"Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative. They should stir passions and deep emotions. Editorial cartoons should be the catalyst for thought, and frankly speaking, if you can make politicians think, that is an accomplishment in itself."

Didn’t you claim you would fix all of this? Another failure.

Wow, a twofer – Another Mikey idiocy and the mindless echo. Wasn’t it last week the Repiglicans were complaining about using drones to kill terrorists?

I find it so revolting that Conservatives cheer the resurgence of al Qaeda simply because it gives them more ammunition to attack Obama.
Why can’t they put the good of their country ahead of their hatred for him?

He’s done far more than “w” and “chain gang” ever did, but hey, just keep up the “he’s a MUslim” idiotic rhetoric. (BTW- his school in Indonesia, was a CATHOLIC school!)

Can’t have it both ways, cons. Either he uses drones too much (to kill terrorists) or he’s doing nothing about AQ.

Obama administration:
• Killed Anwar al-Awlaki – the “bin Laden of the Internet”, the American traitor cleric tied to Fort Hood shooter and Times Square bomber – in Yemen in 2011.
• Killed Badruddin Haqqani, senior leader of the Haqqani network, with drone strike drone strike in Aug. 2012.
• Killed Abu Yahya al-Libi, al Qaeda second-in-command in 2012.
• Continues to dismantle al Qaeda by picking off top commanders. More drone strikes at al Qaeda in three years than whole previous adminstration combined. 70%+ of top al-Qaeda command removed from field.
• Located and killed Osama bin Laden with zero casualties in 2011.

As the list above shows, the cartoon is really invalid. But then Ramirez, like many right wingers, is usually out of touch with reality. Obama has also been involved in many of the countries listed so again the cartoon is totally off the mark.

When Bush decided to take the “war on terror” to the enemy and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims the other side of the world, it was very accurately predicted recruitment of Al Qaida would mushroom.

“An accurate picture of the Incompetent in Chief.”
- Actually:
- Officially, President Obama will be the best US President since FDR on 2017. Unofficially, he already is.

What a strange, strange cartoon. President Obama’s done more to cripple Al Qaeda in four years than George W. Bush did in eight. Maybe Ramirez and his right wing audience are confused because the President and his cabinet aren’t on TV all the time scaring us to death about Al Qaeda (as the W administration did). Instead he’s doing it all quietly. As he’s supposed to.

Nobody is “cheering”. Where do you get your sick ideas? Why don’t you worry about whatever is going on in your own country for a change? His attitude, as shown in the cartoon, explains to a great extent what happened in Benghazi. Couldn’t send help because that would be admitting it was a terrorist action, and that would never do, because our Saviour, Barry, and vanquished them. After all, he said so!

I think he wants to be just like FDR, right down to the four terms! Look for the 22nd Amendment to be eliminated.
