Gulam—I remember LBJ. He created great emotional dissonance in some of us by escalating the war in Vietnam yet insisting on passage of the Voting Rights Act (without which all the hard gains of those voter registration years would have been nibbled away into nothing). At least, when he saw the horrible consequences of that war he had the grace to say he could no longer lead and would therefore not run for another term. Compare that to Dick Cheney’s unbelievable arrogance in continuing to say the Iraq war was a good idea.

Though Obama wasn’t my first choice I voted for him (McCain/Palin was not an acceptable outcome) with some reservation, but even so Fish’s cartoon shows it like it’s becoming and it breaks my heart. The only good thing I can say for Obama these days is that Cheney thinks he is endangering America so he must be doing something right of which I’m not yet aware.

The most telling story will be the one told by Obama’s inaction to hold any of the Bush regime accountable for their crimes. There will be no STUFFED NEO-CONS coming off Obama’s watch.
Sad but true. We will recieve no justice for the murderous plundering by the Bush gang.

Like “tres”’ comment, I was thinking about the Emperor’s New Clothes since the announcement of the “new” Afghanistan, now Af-Pak policy.  Mr. Fish’s cartoon is “on target”.

Brilliant again, Mr. Fish.

I wish it weren’t true, but it is.

Yes. The millions of true Obama believers must be those too young to remember Lyndon and Hubert. Obama is already expanding the war into Pakistan just like the Democrats started bombing Laos and Cambodia. The Democrats and Republicans are a tag-team duo beating up on third world countries one after another. Anyone silly enough to believe that they are really going to get a real change probably is gullible enough to believe that three skyscrapers can fall perfectly into their own footprints after two of them were struck by airplanes. Believing the American dream requires leaps of faith that go beyond that required by any religion.

While the gullible “hopers” of our nation’s River Cities still dream of the Wells Fargo Wagon, Mr. Fish exposes our “Music Man” for the fraud he truly is.

Mr. Fish can really be the both the best and the worst of the reigning cartoonists, depending on the day. This one is a classic, almost in the league with Liberal Phil and the Waterfall of Blood.
