quote:

This city exemplifies the economic recovery the country has experienced since the Great Recession ended. Elkhart�s unemployment rate, which had reached a high of 22 percent in March of 2009, is now at 3.9 percent.

[...]

But despite the decisions that the Obama administration made that might have helped Elkhart, many people here have a strong dislike of Obama, who presided over an economic recovery in which the unemployment rate fell nationally to 4.6 percent from a high of 10 percent in October 2009. They say it�s not Obama who is responsible for the city or the country�s economic progress, and furthermore, that the economy won�t truly start to improve until President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

�He didn�t help us here, but he took credit for what happened,� Chris Corbin, 47, who works for a dispatch company in Elkhart, told me. Corbin thinks it will be Trump who improves the economy. �It�s going to take two terms, but he�ll fix things,� he said.

Does anybody have that old (like early 20th century) toon about the differences between the generations? I remember one side said "how it used to be" and had a picture of a woman properly dressed, sitting upright, reading the bible; the other side had a woman slouching, smoking, reading a magazine.

I love all of the "here's the problem with TODAY'S generation" toons from the past, it really emphasizes that poo poo has always stayed the same

EDIT: found it

Half a loving week into Trump's presidency and all the boot-licking wingnuts can come up with is b-b-b-b-b-b-but libs meaner!.

I'm looking forward to four years of right-wing sycophants putting Hillary and Obama in their toons while the Trump administration fucks up everything possible

Oh good, for a second there I forgot who The Real Racists� were.

The first of many cartoonists who will struggle to caricature Gorsuch in a way that is distinguishable from Pence.

Guess when you stock your whole political world with old white dudes it gets hard to tell them apart :shrug:

Two weeks in, Ramirez is still more comfortable attacking the previous president than supporting (or drawing) the current president.

The cartoon would be less inept if he had Wormbama either holding the huge sign or whispering his agreement rather than the ISIS guy doing both. "Psssst... I secretly believe the message on this huge sign I'm holding!"

For conservatives, Obama and Hilary will never stop being the enemy

I dearly love that Spicer caricature, and I totally approve of continuing to draw Bannon as a giant rat.

I feel like Telnaes has some room for improvement with her Conway, but I appreciate that her ridiculous inauguration outfit will live on forever

Thank you for calling out the little-known 4th branch of government, Saturday Night Live, for its lack of oversight.

Glad that this cartoonist can bring their insight and analysis into this subject by conflating gender and sexuality.

Enjoying the schadenfreude of all the cartoonists who did a "HOLLYWOOD ELITISTS" toon for the Oscars a week ago then hit the links while missing the biggest Oscars story in years

Tim Kreider actually drew a new cartoon in honor of this new age of Republican cooperation

I liked his commentary on it too:

quote:

Once in a while I still return to my old vocation of cartooning. Though my former fans may be disappointed to see that my once-prurient humor has been tempered by the thoughtfulness, subtlety and restraint of middle age.
