Political posterizing redux.

I suspect this may be a fake. The quarterback looks at the receiver, not at the apex of the ball's arc.

Actually, I am sure that this is a true picture of Obama. He throws like a girl, and obviously doesn't know how to play football. He ran onto the field with a ball, and is throwing from the 49'ers defensive line, while Flacco is on the left there calling his signals getting read to take the ball from the Center. That's exactly what I would expect Obama to do if he was involved in a sporting event. The only thing that makes me suspicious is the fact that he does not have his "mom jeans" on.

Those shops of Obama are funny, but I think I'm amused for a different reason i.e. the absurd notion that Obama isn't "manly" and "manly" means shooting guns, playing football, and other stereotypical "manly" shite.

I don't get it Coito.. what point are you trying to make with those images?

That they're funny, that Obama throws like a girl and that he wears mom jeans. Does there have to be another point? I'm trying to poke fun at him, and it never ceases to amaze me how many people get so defensive about people poking fun at him.

OK. I'm trying to relate that to the question of his qualifications to be president of the USA which brings me back to ridiculous stereotypes.

This is just a thread about funny political posters and cartoons and such. I didn't challenge his qualifications to be President. He's of age and is a natural born US citizen. He's not disqualified by throwing a baseball like girl, looking faggy on bicycle, wearing mom jeans, pretending to shoot shotguns "all the time", and scoring a 70 in bowling.

Only the love child of Washington and Paul Bunyan is worthy to be PotUS.

Thou shalt not joke about Obama. The Eleventh Commandment.

He's a decent baller though.

It's not that. It's that these jokes have every indication of being couched in homophobia.

I think you're making up a problem where there is none. Does anyone really care about anyone making fun of obama?

[JimC]

So, the middle ground you take is what? Drone attacks are o.k.? Or, do you oppose the drone attacks? Did it depend on who is President?

No, the "middle ground" is just the sacred space jimc occupies. It has no definition. In reality, just doublespeak for extremist neo-liberal.

Curious ces, are you not a cheerleader FOR waterboarding AND drone attacks? Seems you must like obama and bush? no?

Extremist neo-liberal?

Pots and kettles!

I think that, in most but not every case, waterboarding and similar exercises have provided little useful information, and have seriously damaged US credibility around the world.

I think that drone attacks are not intrinsically wrong, but have been over-used and need tighter political oversight, and that Obama has overstepped the mark...

I guess the alternative is ideological blinkers which make every action either 100% wrong or 100% right...

Good luck with that in the real world...
