Political posterizing.

[Coito ergo sum]

Sigh.

I know, it's easier to just say "he's so stupid."

I know a "heels dug in" when I see one.

Looking in a mirror?

LOL -- folks get so defensive about Obama cartoons and jokes.

Mostly because they're just so plainly bigoted/ignorant/false/dumb as to be offensive to a thinking person.

I'm not a big fan of Obama - fucker has made it a real ass pain to export ammunition and gun parts from the US - but I think he's a damn sight better than the alternatives.

LOL -- sure.... bigoted? Which ones?

And, they're no more "false/dumb/ignorant" than the shite others were posting here.

Bigoted? Hmm.. let's see. The one depicting Obama as having huge ears (reminiscent of a monkey - implied racial slur) and having various symbols imposed on and about him (Hammer and Sickle, Islamic symbol, etc..) which are obviously intended to be denigrating to him by association and which only work from a bigoted viewpoint. The one with a picture of, I'm assuming, Obama smoking what appears to be a joint compared to an all-American boy (Romney) sitting in a car. The implication being Obama smoked marijuana, therefore he's unqualified to be president - again this only works if you assume a bigoted point of view.

It's politics: Almost everything is false/dumb/ignorant to varying degrees. I find the captions you posted to be more so, on average.

LOL -- depicting Obama with big ears is a racial slur? Dude, he's always depicted as having big ears. Or, is The New Yorker now racist too? http://www.newyorker.com/online/covers/ ... rs#slide=1 Please....

And, Bush was often depicted as a chip.

Bigoted against illegal drug users?

LOL -- right. Like I said -- defensive. Hair trigger defensiveness arises when Obama is the subject of the joke.

Sigh.

I know, it's easier to just say "he's so stupid."

He's in the top five worst presidents ever, along lincoln, reagan and kennedy...

[Svartalf]

So he smoked pot? in the 70s? wahhh, cry me a river.

My Finances - An Explanation from Mitt Romney

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney today released this letter to the American people:

Dear American Person:

As many of you know, in recent days my opponent has spread the rumors that 1.) I have refused to make my tax returns public and 2.) I have hidden my money in bank accounts in Switzerland and the Caymans. These two rumors, while true, have made me look very bad. So I thought I would take this opportunity to explain my finances in terms even a poor person could understand.

Let’s say you met the love of your life, and you wrote her a series of passionate love letters. In these letters, you told her how you intended to protect her, cherish her, and always keep her safe. And then let’s say somebody went and told you that you had to make those love letters available for the world to see. If you’re even half the man I am, you’d say, “Heck no.”

Well, in my case, the love of my life is my money. (If you don't believe me, ask Ann.) And my tax returns are like my love letters to my money, detailing the lengths to which I’ll go to keep my precious money from being taken away from me. If you think I should make those love letters public, then I’m sorry, my friend, but you don’t believe in love.

Now, let’s say you asked the love of your life to marry you, and you’re fortunate enough that she said “yes.” Should someone be able to force you to spend your honeymoon in a ratty room at some Motel 6, where God knows what crackheads and whores slept before you? Or should you be allowed to take your bride to a five-star Swiss chateau, perhaps, or an exclusive beach on Grand Cayman? I think you can see where I’m going with this.

In conclusion: if refusing to release my tax returns and having foreign bank accounts is wrong, I don’t want to be right. I did it all for love. And as your President, I promise I will never, ever come between you and the thing you love. Unless you’re gay. (Laughing Out Loud.)

Vote for Me,

Mitt Romney

CES - Harsh as some of ours are, I think there's some good nuggets to a lot of them. But "Obama=dumb"? Come on, nobody here is going to think that's even clever, let alone funny. You can do better.

Googling "bush obama iq", all the first page links agree that Bush's IQ is higher than Obama's by between 1 and 9 points, so it make as much sense as "Bush=dumb".

Both apparently have above average IQs (116-124 for Obama, 125 for Bush). Neither seems to have been high enough to avoid being manipulated by their advisors, which is the biggest problem with both administrations.
