Political Cartoons: New Year’s Resolutions

I did this one as a result of this being new years and the thought that everyone does the whole resolution thing. You know what I mean….”this year is the year I stop eating junk food”….”this year I’m going to stop smoking”….”this year I’m going to loose x amount of pounds and get healthy”. For those of you who have said these types of things and followed through…..I salute you, I have not found that fountain of willpower quite yet but I have not given up…..so yes I have made my list of things I would like to change this year and currently have every intention of taking actions to make them happen. I was wondering if those in Washington do some of the same things with their jobs. Like “this year I resolve to be less corrupt than last year”, I use “less” because lets face it….if someone decided to be completely uncorrupt they probably would not be re-elected or at a minimum not get anything done for the people they represent. That’s seems to be the way it is…..has been….and possibly will always be. The phrase, “Don’t hate the player…hate the game”, comes to mind. Anyway, the cartoon comes as a result of this line of thinking. Enjoy and have a safe and happy new year.

Funny Obama Cartoons: The Money Tree

I did this cartoon as a result of listening and reading some news reports about the dollar and its recent decline. I also was thinking about all the spending that is going on at a national and local level and allegedly there are talks of more stimuli being discussed beyond the first couple of rounds. I realize that dollars are being printed constantly and have been since before President Obama took office but since he’s the current President he gets to be in the cartoon. Anyway, I was thinking that some day down the road with all this printing going on there will be nothing left on the tree in a way, meaning that the dollar will be so diluted in the market place that it will be relatively worthless and it won’t really matter if the printing presses are going at break neck speed. What then? What will the answer to the problem be? That is where this cartoon idea came from. Enjoy the cartoon and have a great day.

Funny Obama Cartoons: Pick up a Mop

I got the idea for this cartoon from a speech that president Obama was giving in San Francisco I believe. I’m not sure of the place but Nancy Pelosi was mentioned so I just make that assumption. Anyway, in the speech he talks about being handed a mess and working on cleaning it up and says for the people who are criticizing the way in which he is doing it to “Pick up a Mop and help out”. Somewhere else in some other news report either before or close after that clip on the speech about the Mop there was a news report of talk about a second stimulus plan for the economy in congress. I thought it was interesting that any talk of more stimulus would be happening now only because the first stimulus, or I guess it would really be the second stimulus if you consider the TARP to be stimulus, has not been fully spent yet. I wonder what the plan is for the rest of the first stimulus. Anyway, those two things kind of collided together in my head and this cartoon was a result of that collision. Enjoy the cartoon and have a great day.

Funny Political Cartoons: It’s a Conservative thing

I got the idea for this cartoon from conversations in the media about conservatives being upset about much of the things happening in Washington and their voice not being heard by anyone on the hill. The idea being that neither of the parties in the two party system are taking their concerns as serious and some talk of a third party or at a minimum hitting the rest button on all of their political careers and electing an entirely new crew starting with the elections in 2010. That’s where this cartoon came from. Enjoy and have a great day.
