Although hope springs eternal,mine could use some Viagra right about now.Why? When things were beginning to look so…not that bad.(visualize head in hands long gutteral sigh).Now what?I thought about how Barack Obama’s win was speading throughout the country,kind of like when you see the wave at the game on sunday except when the word came over the loud speakers “Hillary Clinton tapped as sec.of state by Pres.Elect Obama” that wave stopped dead in it’s tracks and the whole stadium(or country)uttered a collective"Huh,wha?”.I know Bill Clinton is a Rhodes scholar and Hillary is an effective senator. But all the baggage and outside influence that follows the Clintons.Personally I don’t see this helping unity at all.If Pres. Elect Obama is going to be successful at cleaning up the Bush admin’s.disaster he’s going to need those of the Palin intellect in Congress to get the job done.Should Pres. Elect Obama try to jam the Clintons down thier virgin throats I feel this will drive the Religulous Right back to thier mega-churches to take up sword-crosses and pray for strenght from imaginary super heroes to smite those evil doers from the 90’s and the last thing this county needs is the palin intellect to take more of a grip on these impressionable sheeple.We must come to terms with the fact that some among us do not have the capacity to be objective about the Clintons.They have had a lifetime of wednesday bible studies and sunday services along with hours and hours of fake news broadcasts that simply shocked and awed thier objectivity into the heavens.The mess that this nation finds itself in is going to require the participation of ALL it’s citizens if we are going to restore this countries position and reputation for fairness and freedom.The catastrophy that is the housing market if adressed correctly is going to call for the compassion of every man and woman who would call themselves patriotic.I heard a six year old grade student say when asked “what is patriotism"she answered"taking care of America” this should be placed on billboards throughout the country because if we the people of the United States,the bankers and working masses do not show our true heart for those among us who are struggling through this crisis if those who now have the priveledge of being successful in this country can stand up and place themselves in a position to help lift up those who do not have.If those who make the decisions that can make or break someone of meager means can be the true patriot and help thier fellow American ride out this economic perfect storm this nation will die and become the third world country that normally would be recieving our aid except there will be no one to help us.Think with your heart today your head will thank you tommorrow.

“Mr.Fish”

How embarrassing for you…to go so low so fast….for shame..

Try something actually funny…....or, perhaps….Meaningful..next time…

The pic isn’t funny, not cool, simply a losers endless drivel over a beloved president who’s a Rhodes Scholar and has a highly intelligent wife, both of whom, have devoted their lives to public service-

Where are the pics of Bush I’s long time mistress?

The endless baiting and obsessive trashng of the Clinton’s is a national disgrace.

“You might consider rereading Arius’s comment, I don’t believe it means what you DIDN’T THINK it means.”

It is obvious that Arius is a Clinton supporter, and states that Obama “STOLE the nomination from a Clinton”, then adds that he got elected because “a zombie like nation of voters”.

And so one must ask, aren’t those qwho voted for Clinton instead also zombies, or what?

Let’s at least get him sworn in before we attribute the “Clinton 3rd term” tag.”

One thing I have learned from financial markets is that by the time you have complete information you have lost a lot of money. Unfortunately I cannot unload Obama like a junior Canadian miner. But from the incomplete information I do have I do not like how the picture is filling out so far.

America’s second black president prepares to take office.  Change we can bereave in?

I did go over the line with the KKK s**t. I may had been better to make the direct connection to disgust.

I agree Mr Fish has talent with art and satire. IMHO, this is WAY over the top connection/comparison of Clinton politics and personal behavior.

Bill has been both under and over rated for many things. One of them is moral indiscretion.

Really though, can’t we at least wait until Obama has tab A in foreign slot B before we make this comparison?

Let’s at least get him sworn in before we attribute the “Clinton 3rd term” tag.”

Until and IF Obama demonstrates a void of morals and his marital vows you ought to be able to discern between satire and disgust. This is disgusting comparable to KKK hate speech.

The art of metaphor is Mr. Fish’s talent. I see the cartoon as portraying the third Clinton administration. Meanwhile I must return to the closet to find my missing hood and robe.

Regardning Arius’ rant about Obama stealing tghe lection from Hillary. Unbelievable! SO anyone who voted for Obama is a zombie, but not those who voted for Hillary Clinton? Ha ha ha ha ha! Kettle…pot…etc…

You might consider rereading Arius’s comment, I don’t believe it means what you DIDN’T THINK it means.

You know the drill..Pots, Kettles and all!

You seem to have low esteem for President elect Obama. I cannot think of 1 reason Obama would deserve this treatment. You have stepped over the line Mr Fish.

This is baseless at the minimum and over the top crude to say it politely.

I’ve been registered here for quite some time and I usually enjoy Truthdig and your work in particular. No, not just because you’ve spent time attacking Bush but you seemed to have a modicum view of right vs. wrong. I can’t say that any longer.

Until and IF Obama demonstrates a void of morals and his marital vows you ought to be able to discern between satire and disgust. This is disgusting comparable to KKK hate speech.

Go back to the drawing board. Divanation is not your strong point. That is left to Fox News…

Wow! The Clintonite sheep are really getting worked up over this cartoon!

The ultimate insult is Hilary as Secretary of State.

As for the argument of experience, Bush Jr. also got many “experienced” people, and what did it do? The fact is when peiople say “experience’ they really mean “Washington-politics” experience, not policy experience.

There are lots of people who have innovative ideas, and I’m sure many can be found already in varioud minor government positions, but instead Obama is bringing big names from the Clinton era.

What a disgusting low blow the picture is.

As a liberal independent who is NOT a fan of Obambi in any form, may I remind you of all the sexcapades of many past presidents? Including the 1st Pres Bush who had a long time girlfriend on the side? Then there’s Pres Kennedy and his sexcapades with many women.

Obama has no experience, no resume, no qualifications for being president. So after he STOLE the nomination from a Clinton, then took the presidency due to a zombie like nation of voters (with no brain ability, no civics, no knowledge of anything regarding politics and gov that would make them a worthy voter-),,,  he either had the good sense, or the good advice of others to bring in people who really are qualified and are best at possibly handling this national crisis we are in, thus he takes the nomination through corruption from a Clinton, then uses all of Clinton’s presidency skills and people to form his own administration.

Sobeit- at least I feel more comfortable with these people overseeing the mess ahead than I would be with newbies in the White House…. it already sends a shiver down my spine that the likes of David Axelrod will have free reign over national issues, secrets and walking the halls of the White HOuse.

On the other side it will be humorous to watch the imbecile obama bots get a good look at the bullshit Obama sold them on “change” and “hope”- 

As for the picture that decision shows your mentality and lack of depth, lack of a life, that you would even resort to such a low blow.  Bill Clinton like most humans was a flawed man with a twitch for the ladies.. and he had the charisma to draw them in… are you jealous of that?  This issue of Monica and any sexcapades are between he and his wife and I for one hope she broke a couple very expensive lamps over his head-  It’s between them. 

Bill Clinton truly cared about this nation and its people when he was president. He is a Rhodes Scholar.

How does your resume compare?  I think we know the answer to that due to the ridiculous picture you chose to headline this post with-

My optimistic side thinks this will play out in a very interesting, somewhat surprising way.

You’re going to be very disappointed.

As an employee, one is successful if one correctly perceives the thing your employer wants.  Who among us hasn’t compromised so that we stay employed?  Until we see how this all plays out, this brouhaha is much ado about nothing.  While Obama wasn’t my first choice it is apparent he’s different.  The thing I do feel is true; he’s very, very, smart.  My optimistic side thinks this will play out in a very interesting, somewhat surprising way.  For the moment I’m willing to give him the benefit of doubt.  We are after all living in very interesting times.
