Editorial Cartoon: Obama and Clinton

Editorial Cartoon: Obama and Chelsea Clinton

I know I don’t post editorial cartoons typically on Friday but this was so timely (thanks Mike) that I couldn’t pass it up before it became old news or someone else shamelessly stole my idea.

So it seem President Obama has been getting some slack for passing off his press briefings to the Clintons.  Last week it was Bill when discussing the reasons he negotiated the tax cut deal with the Republicans.  And this week he passed off questions on Afghanistan to Hillary.

I’m all for delegation but he seems to be running out of Clinton options.

    No offense to your cartoons (because they are fantastic!!) but at first glance I thought that was Bush because of the gray hair.

    I have been out of the states for 1/2 a year so I don’t always keep up on Obama’s hair color.

    Chelsea got married right? Maybe her husband could feel in next week. 🙂

      or he could fill in. His choice.

        Yes the job does age you quickly. Even for the eternal notoriety, I wouldn’t want that job.

    I’m sure before long we’ll start seeing other Clinton era folks coming forward. I have a feeling closer to the Holiday’s someone will ask the President candidly, “So, what type of evening dress will Michelle be wearing to the Christmas dinner tonight.” Suddenly Obama will turn and state, “That’s a very good question, but for matters of wardrobe I refer you to Ms. Monica Lewinsky.”

      hahah… That is baaaad. Funny but bad.

      And does the President have to follow the politically correct terminology and call it a Holiday Gathering?

        I’m not sure anyone would take fashion advice from a woman who wears protein stains on her evening wear! o.O

          She won’t go down without a fight….well maybe.

    I bet George Clinton would have even better answers! Funkadelic ones even. 🙂

    Like your current rendition of Obama. Chelsea even looks nice.

      You would think she would actually be easy but it took me about 20 tries before I was mildly happy with this one.

    Maybe if politicians passed their power down to kids in high school or public school there’d be more sensible leadership.

      I think every politician has sense….until they get elected.

    I was going to ask about Socks as well. Is that little fur-ball still alive and kicking?

      I don’t know. His book sold better than mine ever would.

    So next is Monica?

      You are too late…someone already used that joke.

        Damn, I should read all the comments first 🙁 How’s about Jennifer Flowers then?

    Clinton options – that’s good. I saw the Daily Show coverage of it. Bill still knew how to handle it.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I’m sure he was in his glory.

    Next person to play Obama Hot Potato? Hmmm….uh, Bearman. Yeah, that’s right, boy! He’s going to put you on the spot next time! Better have your homework done!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Why…I can speak in generalities and never say anything just like a politician.

      1. DadaHyena Avatar

        Let’s test those skills:

        “Bearman, what do you plan on cooking for dinner?”

    sure sign that things aren’t going well ?

    when leaders start passing the buck delegating to others !

      I still say that is why I love the ask the prime minister routine in Britain. He can’t run.

      Okay President Obama, go ask Seamus…

      1. Bearman Avatar

        He isn’t Dixie…he doesn’t talk back.

    Next he’ll say, “Ask George Bush. It’s all his fault.”

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No…he started with that.

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        Yeah but as “Peggy” says on the commercial…He is Tenacious like bull.

    Trying to sneak one by me. Ha,ha,ha!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That’s why everyone should have me on RSS, Twitter and Facebook…just in case.

      1. MJ Avatar

        What’s all this technical jargon, I’m lucky to be able to scribble on paper. Ha,ha,ha!

      You don’t like the doe eyed (or is it dough eyed) look?

  15. Scott Oglesby Avatar

    I like the way you draw Obama, it’s very unique. Your Chelsea however, scares the shit out of me.

    Actually it’s not just ‘your’ Chelsea, it’s just Chelsea.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Unique. That sounds like the back handed comment I got from an illustrator. Don’t let anyone change your drawing style…it works….for you.
