Oh, bruther!  This is so right on!  I consider Obama to be actually more dangerous than Bush.  The Shrub was just like a big spoiled brat throwing tantrums for everything so he could have his weight but this one, oooooh, he’s smooth!  And a sweet talker, he can package anything and make it sound good, till you take your eyes off him and realized how you’ve been screwed.

RE: the 4,000+ bodies of Americans killed in Iraq

Typical! It’s all about US - center of the bleeding universe - of course, where else in the known universe does one find Miss Universe?

It’s not that complicated, Obama reneged on many of his campaign promises. For a laugh, he is looking for these old promises amongst the dead bodies that are a result of his new policies.

Excellent cartoon, Fish.

I don’t understand this cartoon, either.  My only take away is that Obama is having to dig through the 4,000+ bodies of Americans killed in Iraq to get to the bottom of what’s wrong with our government policies.

Please excuse my stupidity, but can somebody PLEASE explain this cartoon to me?  I don’t get it.

I even passed it on to a friend and he didn’t get it either.

Someone? Anyone?

Nothing smells as bad as bad Fish. Wrong!  A dozen rotting bodies, around a bombed out village in South Waziristan, trump in a heartbeat (or lack thereof), your trivial admonition of the cartoonist’s polemic.

Nothing smells as bad as bad Fish. Niether funny nor astute and the rendering isn’t anything to brag on either.

Mr. Fish—once again you’ve spoken volumes with a few masterful strokes of the pen. Keep the truth coming.

Wow! Sharpened both sides of the sword on this one, Mr. Fish. Bravo yet again!
