The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest has begun. Click the link or here to go to the voting. They are in alphabetical order and my entry should be the third one. So if you can, please vote. It looks like I have some great competition. As long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.
Regarding today’s editorial cartoon, it seems President Barack Obama has decided to change (haha) his campaign slogan from “CHANGE” to “FORWARD”. Like many Americans some of his policies I agree with and some I don’t. So the question is which way are we going forward and even if it is the right direction are we still constrained by our present issues that haven’t been dealt with? Sometimes we look too far ahead without realizing what is holding us back.
I prefer …. Yes You Can ….Change, than Yes You Can…. Forward
i prefer we get out of neutral.
That won’t happen until politicians act on behalf of the people and not for their party or the power brokers behind the scenes.
bwahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahah
1. You have to log in to vote or use FB and I don’t use FB. Maybe there’s some other way I can support you, Bearman.
2. What is the little round coloured symbol in the speech bubble? and
3. Even without knowing what it stands for its a pretty funny cartoon. :`D
4. Maybe someone can go there and vote for me.
5. Good luck! I’m sure you will win!
1. I know Jande. Having to sign in sucks in these things and I too hesitate so I understand.
2. The symbol is Obama’s logo that he uses in his campaign materials
3. Thank you
4. Someone go and vote for Jande!! haha
5. Thanks but there is some great talent there.
I tried to vote for Jande but it wouldn’t let me vote twice…
I think it has a racial issue with Tasmanians
If you tried to vote for Jande that would have been a feat since she wasn’t on the ballot.
You think I should give it a try? >.>
Too late. Had to start Sunday.
LOL That was kind of you to try, Tony! <3
He is a suck up that way.
Got my vote.
Thanks Nate…
Awesome and very truthful political cartoon Bearman. You have my vote.
Thanks Todd and appreciate all the sharing!
Way cool and I tried to vote, but you have to sign in. I don’t do facebook or the other one either. Sorry.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
That’s OK Sandee. That keeps me from voting at times too. Your support means alot.
I would like to vote. I do not have a facebook account shocking I know. I tried to sign in for the other thing but that didn’t work. Let me know if there is another way to vote.
I think the only other thing to do is actually register on their site but that tends to be a pain so I understand if people don’t want to do that.
I voted for the other guy! [smirk]
you Schmuck, just kidding.
You are a schmuck and I am not kidding. The other guy’s stuff is better than mine…why do you think I need the votes.
Art is in the eye of the beholder You may thing the others are better when they are not.
That’s only cuz you like me better
I’ll vote for you Bearman! But not for Obama! haha that guy needs to forward his a$$ out of office.
What if Obama ran as my Vice-Cartoonist? Would you still vote for me?
Lets hope it doesn’t come to that.
I support your voicing of opinion but I support Obama. I think we agree he is not perfect but no one is and I think he is the better choice.
I’ll take a look at the cartoon over at that site (at least they see another view if they are tracking that). But if I need to join yet another site or use FB – sorry.
Not a ploy to convince anyone NOT to vote for Obama but rather pointing out the absurdity of political messages.
Completely understand not wanting to sign up for another site but appreciate all the comments here.
Do you think if the other guy got on that horse with the huge weight chain to it that he could make it go any faster? I voted for ya B. M.
Now I have to clean out the app…. blech.
Wait but you have 10 more weeks of voting for me. And please stop calling me B.M. haha
Uncle Sam don’t look too happy. Maybe Obama should use a whip to get him movin’ faster
That would add a whole new connotation I wasn’t going to go for. haha
I don’t use FB so opened an account with the cartoon place so I could vote for you….your political comics are the best!
I appreciate that immensely Deb. Thanks so much.
I just voted for the wrong cartoon!
I clicked on your link, logged in, and clicked on the vote button. But it wasn’t for your cartoon!
Can’t you provide a link directly to YOUR cartoon?
No…unfortunately it won’t allow me too. You have to go to my cartoon and then click vote. The good news is that you can vote multiple times after a several hour break in between.
Okay, voted for you, this time!
I got chocolate for next time.
Is this only one vote per round or can I go back more than once?
🙂
I think you can go back like every 6 hours so vote early and often.
10-4.
🙂
Uncles are always the big toys for the ‘lil ones.
Ride em UNCLE!
Nice pop up ad 😉
I tried a pop up facebook like button and it ticked off at least two people. They wrote a lengthy comment on why I was a loser… nearly broke my heart 🙁
Seriously though, pop ups don’t bother me. 🙂
Does your comic mean that the Dollar will even out with the Euro?
Pop up ad?? I don’t have any pop up ads?
I think I’ll change my name to George Forward and see if I can get some loose Change.
Great comic, BM! You’re sure to slay ’em in the contest. Your Obama looks very nice.
You are the second person to call me BM and I don’t like it! haha
Your use of Uncle Sam in that manner is ingenious!
Thanks Scott.
That ball should have another one chained to it that says “Europe”!
Their ball is WAY too big to fit in this panel.
GOOD WORK BEARMAN XO
I AM GONNA MAKE AN ACCOUNT ON CARTOONIST – THAT SITE AND VOTE …..:)
NOT ON FB …….
GREATEST OF LUCK IN ALL U DO XO
CAT
More than I can ask. Truly appreciate it Cat.
I want Uncle Sam to wear better pants.
He spent all his money buying your kid pants.
Done!
If I could, I would vote you for President, Bear.
(Granted, that’s probably only because I’m a politically-ignorant Canadian. )
Doesn’t stop politically ignorant Americans
I missed Monday, but I’ll be sure to throw my vote in on Thursday for you! Best of luck bro!
Thanks Doc! Voting opens again at midnight.
I occurs to me by reading the comments how seriously people take political cartoons. All I can say is grow a sense of humor, it is a bipartisan trait everyone should have.
I loved the comic, but I am too late to vote. 🙁 I will vote more than once on the next one. I really need to talk to the hospital about my need for my laptop.
Red.
Good thing I am an equal opportunity offender. People hate me one day and love me the next.
You got my vote, Bearman!
Thanks Mark…now you just have to wait until tomorrow.
That is absolutely one of the best Political Cartoons I have seen in a long time. Maybe we should look back to see what got us here and then maybe go in a different direction. Both parties ought to look realize that insanity is trying to do the same thing in the same way and get different results. I am still going to push the “Vote No For President” idea.
Well he certainly couldn’t keep “CHANGE” even if he wants to go in a new direction.
good luck bearman xx
Thanks M
No fair! I’m not even allowed to ride the dog!
Well maybe you should buck so much.
This is the best Obama cartoon I have seen yet.
Thanks JB
very clever!
Thanks Doc
