Well, it's not like he should consider conservative opposition when deciding whether to do something or not, because we all know it will be there either way. The White House officially said it was a mistake not to at least send some high level person.

Even if Obama went, I imagine he would be blasted for participating in a giant PR stunt. Once again, I think it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for him.

Considering some of the surviving members have heavily criticized the attending world leaders for what they mean is 'feigned sympathy", Obama deciding not to attend at least makes him seem like less of a hypocrite.

You wouldn't want to appear soft on crime, would you?

But if Obama did go they'd just cartoon him being a belligerent clueless dumbo poopyhead compared to the other world leaders:

Obama looks uppity, with closed eyes and nose pointed upwards:

It really chaps my rear end that he's been signing his "cartoons" as "Slightly Above Average Joe" since he's easily one of the worst cartoonists here, easily worse than most of the poo poo people dredge up from DeviantArt.

And I swear it's intentional. Like a smug, knowing little grin that he's all too aware that he doesn't deserve to have this job.

If the value of college is as a way for employers to discriminate based on ability to take on debt, rather than conferring any useful training or skills, then you might as well scrap the whole system as a giant waste of resources right now,

It's pretty much him and Ted Rall tied for the worst artist in this thread. Assholes like Ramirez are at least technically capable, even if their actual composition is ugly and incompetent, and Muir's clipart collage style is at least not instantly revolting to look at.

I would love to read his work - ink on wood sounds like a lovely and painstaking medium to do for comics.

I actually have a few cartoonists below Rall. Kirschen is awful, and Gosse actively hurts my eyes with his terrible coloring.

BoK is just bad and ugly in a way Rall doesn't usually achieve.
