    This cartoon is just sleazy. Who did most of this? The Republicans, including Bush, McCain, and the majority of Congresspeople.

    It’s bush who is introducing us to helga. Call them on it, and they’ll say you’re a terrorist. (Truth is an incendiary device.)

    Well, I don’t agree with it, but it’s less offensive than many other toons here in the past few days.

    Reflex: You are right, and let me tell you that Socialism also have variations in the world today. Brazil and Sweden are governed by Socialists parties. Same with Chile and Finland, to mention a few big and successful economies. So, let’s stop this “Obama=Socialist=Doom” fever we are suffering…

    Chikittitta, This cartoon is an excellent biting indictment on Obama’s views and hidden SOCIALIST INTENTIONS for America…

    In this toon Obama is bringing “Big Government” (to big already but not big enough for Obama)to meet his baby sitter (Obama’s appointee) that is going to tell Big Government (and all of us US citizens) “what to say and eat” etc, and He(Obama) is going to pay her salary (bureaucratic government appointees) with your “paycheck”….

    And if any one questions his (Obama’s)* Socialist Policies (that are even more clear today after recent posted interview from years ago)* He’ll play the Race Card and call you a racist for not voting for him….

    Reject Socialist Barack MARX Obama come November 4th if you haven’t done so already!!!!

    And tell everyone you know!!!!

    Listen to the Socialist Messiah Re-distributions of wealth ambitions’ interview and see for yourself what Obama has in store for America here in this link…

    chikkittitta: If you want to understand american government FOR REAL, you may need to check NON- REPUBLICAN Editorial cartoons… . For them, everything is going fine, there is no unemployment nor recession and His Liar Majesty George Bush is a misunderstood political and economical Genius. . The real thing is the actual Bush Administration (thanks God it is ending soon) created the BIGGEST government in American history and produced the BIGGEST deficit in America (more than $10 TRILLION Dollars, after recieving a +$280 Billion SURPLUS from Clinton…). Under this AWFUL administration, 50% of our taxes are going to the Military spending. We are fighting a War based on lies and deception just for profit for a few FRIENDLY Corporations (Blackwater, Halliburton, et al) that is costing us almost 5000 american deaths, tens of thousands crippled and 10 billion a month… . . . Recently, in a totally Socialistic move, they have Nationalized Banks and financial institutions to rescue them for the failure in the Capitalist model produced by the lack of Regulation the government itself created 8 years ago. . . This cartoon, drawn by a conservative cartoonist, is trying to scare the people against Sen. Obama, persuading them that he will bring up to us Socialism and Big Government… as if we do not have enough of both already… . . I hope this clarifies a little bit this toon and a very little of our current status as a country… . I wish you the best of luck with your class…

    ATG… you need to correct deficit vs debt. BOTH are currently the largest ever… but you’ve reversed them.

    Did I miss something over the weekend? Did Obama say he was going to dictate banks to us?

    Lalas: you are right, my mistake. But I guess the rest is OK, right?

    Surely… just wanted to cut off the mistake before unfriendly types jumped down your throat.

    BTW… since TGS jumped on this before, here are other sources for the debunking of Mach’s spam.

    Hilarious. People who are not with Obama are being called racists, even those voting for Cynthia McKinney!
