   Ted you’ve made a mute point. The damage was already done by W & crew.

   Buzzy, did you mean moot point? A mute point isn’t actually saying anything at all.

   He obviously meant “moot.”

   Either way Buzzy was once again fuzzy in thought.

   Extended conflict with no objective, no end date and nop metric for ‘winning’ is a recipe for an agreesor’s downfall.

   Ted (since you seem to be reading these posts),

   You’re the only cartoonist who seems to have a semi-accurate perception of reality. My main complaint was your strip that every President must be worse than the one before: Obama, so far, is Bush Lite, so not quite as bad. But it’s early days yet.

   When I was a bit younger, old people were satirised as supporting no one after Coolidge. Now I’m thinking I can’t support anyone after Dwight.

   But I’m not old. I TOLD Moses he needed a GPS instead of wandering in the desert for 40 years. But he wouldn’t listen.

    The severe damage was done by W and Crew. Don’t forget Uncle Ronnie Raygunn and his followers or HWB, Mr. No New Taxes Guy.

    W & crew just happened to have a Rubber-Stamp Republican Congress that sent him the legislation he wanted, that isn’t success compared to the efforts Clinton had to make to accomplish anything for the general masses of Americans.

    The really big question now, and this cartoon is doubtfull about it, is if Barrack Obama can put on the brakes for runaway problems W & Crew set in motion. And, he has the Party of No working against him. Including publicly stating that the wish him failure. That means failure to Americans too.

    I remember George Carlin on the Smothers Brothers tv show about 40 yrs ago saying that there is only one party, The Money Party with the Democrat And Republican branches. I have one quibble with that. I call it The Money & War Party. Obama has done nothing to change my mind.

    @Parkers: OK, I won’t tell you. But I will say that cartoons generally use exaggeration to make a truthful point. So most political cartoons are both an accurate representation of the artist’s point of view and an exaggeration.

    @Michael: Indeed, the American presidency seems to be a perfect example of entropy–something that continuously gets worse.

    Looks to me as if mattro53 hit the nail on the head - and that this sad fact is more or less what Ted wants to show us, from different vantage points….
