Obama is going to be Clinton levels of idolised out of office with Trump as his follow up. Well, I always thought that Obama's legacy would be Obamacare, which I imagined eventually being developed into an actual socialized health program. It brought me glee to envision Obama being credited with improving and saving the lives of millions, all from a petty republican nickname. That would require the ACA to not get murdered, though.

Cold comfort but if the ACA is murder then his legacy will be trying to improve and save the lives of millions but because the Republicans were so petty and sour about it being named after him that they elected an alleged serial rapist reality TV gameshow host to stop him.

This...is actually a good cartoon. 1) Obama's approval numbers are good and steadily getting better. He's got a good deal of time left on this earth, most people like him, some people adore him. He'll be one of our most popular ex-presidents. 2) Obama and his inner circle couldn't ever be arsed to put in the nitty-gritty work of party building. There was a huge opportunity to mechanize and make the Obama coalition a dominant political force post-2008, the way unions used to be, and...no one did anything. I like Obama and voted for him twice, but this and the bloated national security state are his biggest sins. But they won't change #1 for most people. So yeah. It's basically like the cartoon.

With all that Kirschen has been talking about the US election, you'd think he'd have a little concern about an actual Nazi-pandering anti-Semite as one of the President-Elect's closest advisors. *posts 100th BDS cartoon*

I dunno. JRRose! sometimes gets to me for some reason. E: To clarify, I hate Branco. He's a poo poo artist with terrible ideas but at least I can see a point to him - he makes hateful hack comics for everyone's racist idiot uncle. But JRRose!? what's even the point of him.

He's more than done cartoons about how anti-Semitism elsewhere means all Jews should move to Israel (usually with the subtext of "and then kill or expel the filthy subhuman Arabs from our pure nation"), so I imagine that'll be the tack he takes, if he ever gets around to it.

Fair enough! I like JRRose! or at least tolerate him precisely because he's so often apolitical and doesn't bother being in the opinion business. Sure, he's conservative and wrong when he bothers to be political but that he often doesn't is, I think, preferable. Best say nothing if you don't have anything to say. JRRose! is dadjokes dot cartoonist, he makes his living telling jokes for people whose sense of humor is alien to mine.

He did this stupid one which I like for pretty much the same reason I dislike all his other stuff (it's stupid and banal):  maybe I wouldn't like it if Bush had a big poo poo eating grin on his face

No really, hear me. Have a good party with family. Politics is important, but not remotelly has important has family. If you need to, go to the internet and find some topic to talk about that is safe. I suggest movies, maybe talk about the movies that are in the making. Don't be one of these families that have a big problem in that special day. gently caress politics, and specially, gently caress politicians.

Uh, you are aware that Republicans and Frank Lutz are the ones that came up with calling it Obamacare, right? And being petty is kind of the Republican's thing, look into why Newt shutdown the government back in the 90s.

How out of touch do you have to be to think that this is the problem people have? Alternately, what is Branco's definition of "great" (and for that matter "liberal agenda") that he thinks this is a terrifying concept?

loving hell I hate this stupid trope. Every person I know who was adamant that Obama was Satan-incarnate is like "Oh, stop worrying! What if things work out?" It's never "oh, once he does this thing that will actually get passed in DC, then this, then this," it's always the patronizing "oh, well it might work out!"

People shouldn't complain and protest - "we owe it to our own democratic system to accept what has happened and hope for the best." Ah, yes, the America way: Things not the way you like it? Lie down and take it.
