18. I don't think Trudeau thinks he is a puppet so I doubt he would use it.

13. Trudeau seems to like Obama.
Especially after Bush, I don't think he'd go with the "Obama is a puppet" business the right wing loves so dearly.

17. Clinton was my favorite
The Waffle was the best Presidential icon that I have seen in Doonesbury.

I grew up in the 70s and most of my knowledge of the politics of the time come from reading old Doonesbury strips OVER AND OVER.
