3. He made the deal with the devils on the tax cuts for the rich
He owns them (the tax cuts) now. They're the OBAMA TAX CUTS.

He said he was just kicking the can down the road for a couple of more years ... do you truly believe he'll fight them THEN?

I don't.

7. Indeed
They should no longer be called the Bush Tax Cuts IMO. They are now the Obama Tax Cuts for the Wealthy.

Obama could have let the tax cuts expire, but he didn't have the backbone. He was worried about offending the GOP and corporate America.

10. So Repleaing DADT Was Part Of A Corporate Agenda?
I wanted those giveaways to the rich to lapse and he could have...but then DADT would still be the policy of the military and several other bills that helped Democrats that would have never passed on their own. The term is called "governing" and "compromise"...something neither right nor left is prepared to do. So much easier crying you didn't get it all than to negotiate.

11. Just exactly where does the buck stop?
So we should only judge the president on what he "wanted" to do? So far he's gone back on nearly every one of his campaign promises. Either he's a liar, or he's extremely incompetent. Either way, he needs the criticism.

2. What is that supposed to be on Obama's head?
...a mini-Darth Vader helmet?

Crappy cartoon on many levels

5. I disagree....completely....
He caved on the tax breaks to the rich and now look at what we are dealing with.

I think it is very too the point...

I say that respectfully of course.

6. So many other ways to portray this
Edited on Tue Feb-22-11 08:47 PM by n2doc
How about a couple of stealth bombers? How about 1 week's war in the middle east. These are things directly in the budget from Obama himself. No need to tie separate events (even though I agree with the sentiment here) when the budget itself has so many, many egregious bits of war pork in it.

As I have said elsewhere, I'm sure the people freezing to death next winter from lack of heat will feel safe knowing we have an even bigger arsenal of weapons designed to take on the 2012 Soviet Union!

12. I agree 100% However...
Edited on Thu Feb-24-11 01:09 AM by Jokinomx
for me the not taking the breaks away for the wealthy is far more reaching. At least people will be employed and making a good wage for their services building something. The tax breaks don't create any jobs, at least not as many as the right contends they do.

That is why I think this cartoon says what I feel....

Thanks for your input...
