Ted Rall for September 04, 2013
Transcript:
Ask big daddy: Credibility counts! Playground sidewall friends school Washington, DC. (Woman: Whatever, Sasha!) (Woman 2: I'll kill you!) That evening 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC. (Barack Obama: Sorry you had a bad day, hun. But there's something you have to do now.) (Woman: What's that, Daddy?) (Barack Obama: That mean girl crossed your red line. Your credibility is at stake. I know it's hard, but you're going to have to kill her.) "Do you have any friends? It's easier if you kill her as part of a coalition.) (Woman: But I'm not psycho.) (Barack Obama: Then ask your teachers for authorization. You can blame them for wussing out.)

You’ll have to do better than that. How? Why?

Also, I love that “so-called cartoon” thing that people say sometimes. It’s a drawing with words. By definition, it is a cartoon.

Newsflash for those of you calling Ted Rall “sick”- The rest of the world often sees us as well armed, slightly immature playground bullies. Over the top? Of course. So was Jonathon Swift.I’m sure some folks will claim we are the ‘good guys’ & the Arabs should be grateful for our help. I doubt we’d be so grateful if they came here to forcibly impose their values on us.

“Mass murderers can run in families, just look at the Bush’s.”Seems to run in the Oval Office, too.

I used to think politics was just high school on a national scale. Turns out, I may have been too generous. Welcome to international grade school.

Actually, I have to give Bush credit. He knew that it takes time to convince the public to go to war. Obama is too lazy to put in the effort.

Just get the secret service to do it for you… Then you can blame a rogue agent underling for it if things go wrong….

PRIDE IS the “deadliest sin”.
I would have to disagree on the “lazy” element though, Ted. Bush 43 really did NOT take the time to line things up, it should be noted that while he tentatively got “Congressional approval”, he ignored their restraint component, and went ahead with the bombing of Iraq without going back to follow through on the steps the Act called for. I would definitely call “W” the “laziest” , mentally, if not physically, occupant of the White House. Reagan was probably the his only challenger, but a lot of that could be written off to the Alzheimer’s.

This was a completely inappropriate political cartoon. In a world with as much violence as there already is, do we really need this type of crap in our political cartoons also?

Unfortunately, there is little difference between the imagined playground incident in Ted’s cartoon and the Syrian situation. The truth is sometimes quite painful.
Between Bush and this guy they have destabilized the entire Middle East. Like two idiots lighting matches in a fireworks store.
Those that want to risk WW III to prop up this clown, need to be institutionalized.
And BTW: The racist thing is very, very old and worn paper thin. Find a new Shtick…
