Ted Rall for August 19, 2011

Those Public Works jobs in Ohio for the new stop sign is a major part of Obama’s job plan. He should drive his Made In Canada Tour Bus and stop at the new stop sign.

I see in the 2nd panel, Obama is wearing his red U.S.Kitty Presidential Flag tie.

You got that right, except in comparison B.O. is his “evil clone.” And the slavery bit isn’t an exaggeration. What else do you call the frame of mind that says that endless subsidizing of unemployment and food stamps “create jobs?” It’s the frame of mind that demands for subjects who are totally beholden to their masters in Washington, DC. That is a slave-mentality.

Now, all of you mindless Obama-bots can criticize ‘dubya and make other deranged arguments that do NOTHING WHATSOEVER to defend your indefensible sock-puppet of a president. B.O. will TRY to run on his “record,” but in the end, he will have to rely on the media’s ad hominem presentations of his opponent, and the ignorance of the electorate.

Thanks. I need my daily dose of right wing cliches to get my juices flowing in the morning. I guess you’d rather have your masters scattered about the country in corporate boardrooms.

I’m guessing the slavery reference is about the continuing erosion of labor rights under Obama.

Unemployment benefits create jobs because they allow people to continue buying good & services. The problem is that we are in such a massive PRIVATE DEBT hole, that it isn’t doing anything more than keeping the economy from going in to a tailspin. The other big problem is that we are looking at a large chunk of people who have been out of the workforce for so long that they are perceived as damaged goods by many employers. If any candidate can come up with a way to create DECENT PAYING JOBS, I’ll vote for that candidate. Slashing government spending is not going to create jobs, slashing taxes is not going to create jobs. We need to create DEMAND, then the private sector will start hiring in larger numbers.

Damn, Ted, you are one angry cartoonist!

Let’s bring back the WPA . We have vary many jobs that could be done. Like, renovationg all those run down buildings in the cities.

I like the first and fourth panels:

Second Panel: We didn’t end slavery, we outsourced it.

Fourth Panel: Indiana: The State Next to Ohio

That order for that Made in Canada bus was placed in June, 2010. Obama was president in 2010.

I did not vote for BamBam in 2008 and will not in 2012. BTW, he will win. The Republicans have already shot themselves in one foot, and are aiming at the other one. Anyone who uses apocalyptic language like “… surrendered their reason in favor of their political masters.” has no credibility in an intellectual discussion. Ad hominem, like calling BamBam a socialist, a Muslim and not an American? The right is like the frying pan calling the saucepan dirty.

Very, very good!! Rall, you rule!
