Ted Rall for January 26, 2009
Transcript:
Adventures of Obamaman: The somewhat Super Hero who doesn't Save the Day but partly alleviates it. Obamaman is applying his medical skills to an accident victim when he gets a call about an urgent crisis. (Woman: A band-aid? This man has been decapitated!) (Obamaman: Holy economic, meltdown! I'm on my way!) Eventually (Obamaman: Sorry it took so long to get here. I took mass transit.) (Man: Help! There's a $3 trillion "output gap" in the U.S. economy. We could lose 20 million jobs! This "plan" will only fix 1/5 of the problem.) (Obamaman: No need to thank me. Gotta go! A meteor headed toward earth needs to be slightly slowed down!)
Obama does need some cojones regarding the economy, and it’s up to us to fire up Congress to make sure he does the right thing.
Incidentally, this is Rall’s first Obama cartoon that makes any sense.
