The not-so-distant future.
Woman: Very impressive resume, Mr. Obama, but no one's hiring. Especially not former laid-off middle managers in their 50s maybe if the government passes some stimulus...
Rall, you really need to get over your Obama Derangement.
“Nonfarm payrolls rose by a seasonally adjusted 227,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, as sectors from manufacturing to restaurants hired more workers. The government also raised its estimate for December and January’s job gains. In all, the economy has added 1.2 million jobs in the past six months, the fastest pace of growth since 2006.” Wall Street Journal, 3/9/12
Ignoring the current occupant of the White House, the salary is now $400 K annually. Now if shareholders and boards would limit CEO salaries to the same, and “benefits” in corporations, maybe they too would be more efficient?? After all, why do FAILED CEOs they fire get “golden parachutes”???
The idea is that if Obama is ousted, his successor will be golfing with his Big Corporate donors while even more of us are looking for jobs.Rall is a little too subtle for his own good, I guess.
I’m not smart enough to be able to predict the outcome of the election, although my gut feeling is that Obama will remain in office.
However, the premise of this cartoon is that Obama will be looking for a job — and that ain’t never gonna happen. His government pension, along with speaking fees and books and whatever, will guarantee that he never has to work again.

“From what Iv;e seen on NBC and CBS News programs Obama is going to be a 1 Term President.”
Well, I said I’m not smart enought to predict; it’s just my gut feeling — and neither NBC nor CBS polled my gut.
;-)
(For what it’s worth, my gut also told me that Bill Clinton would beat out GHWB, making him a one-term prez.)
