How would you like Obama depicted in a Doonesbury cartoon?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Trudeau always uses a symbol to represent the president. With Clinton, it was a waffle. With Bush, first a cowboy hat, and then a Roman helmet. In lieu of someone today calling Obama a Chess Master, I would like to see him as a chess piece. Or the hand that moves the chess pieces.

1. As a person.

He didn't always use a symbol. Back when he actually still drew the damn thing.

12. Wasn't it during the Reagan years that he would show a pic of the

White House and have the conversation show up in the sky?

But I am waiting to see what Trudeau comes up with.

11. I can see that.

14. One possiblity I could see him using

would not be a symbol but to actually draw Obama but make him a superhero or diety-like figure. Maybe put him on a pedestal.

[enlightenment]

19. ick.

Sorry. Politicians should never be put on pedestals.
