There goes Obama! Isn’t he havin’ FUN!!??!! And not one press person around!

I have been recently slammed with work and divorce legal issues and was going to pass on both cartoons this week. I quickly knocked this out Thursday night. Entirely done with Photoshop.

No health care = Massive losses in November for Democrats and Obama suddenly becomes less welcome at Democrat fund-raising opportunities. Obama can’t have that happen. Appearances are his entire stock and trade. So Pelosi will have to keep her track record in tack and get this through and save Obama from having to figure out what to do if ha can’t hit the campaign circuit.

I was having a bad day when I went at this and basically botched it. While drawing on UStream, viewer Jared Sloger flagged me on the original cartoon, thank goodness. I trashed the first and re-approached the subject very quickly and knocked out the pencil and ink of above. Thanks, Jared!

Below is the stream for the cartoon above:

Below is the first attempt. Please excuse all of my frustration.

Something like an experience I’ve had recently. This is all about protecting the insurance companies and giving doctors and the pharmaceutical companies cover to not have to lower prices. Lowering prices by the latter two would eliminate the need for insurance or lawyers that feed off of medical problems.

I was trying to illustrate my predicament in a broad way and get the idea across that the insurance companies are the muscle for the docs. Then here comes a Federal version of the same muscle making even more trouble.

Another great gag by Ken Culotta. Luckily I’ve been in an airport recently and could better draw the interior of an airport!

How many polar bears were killed to have the Copenhagen Conference?????

Being buried in work, this became a rush job entirely created in Photoshop.

Captain Nancy’s ignore’s the people’s voice and the 9/12 – Tea Party efforts and rams the mess through.

This was one of three cartoons that were going to appear Friday until the Fort Hood tragedy hit the news Thursday night. I pencilled and inked this last Thursday with Photoshop colors added Monday night.

There had been much talk of Obama’s golf game. So I comboed that with Obama’s accomplishments.

Artistically I had envisioned something different. This was all created in the computer and I just couldn’t get the depth quite right. I should have drawn this on paper first.

We’ve gone from Bush to Clinton to Bush to Clinton. The plus side is that maybe Obama won’t persue some of his nutty ramblings while talking (and spending) his way into office. Unless he shoves his staff aside or fires them, they’re experienced enough to hold the reigns to Obama and make more practical goals. I probably won’t care for those other goals, but at least those probably wouldn’t scare me to death!

Same Song, Different Singer….He just sings reeeaall good. How long will it take the audience to realize what’s happening on stage?

I’m not hearing the media pointing to the dramatic stock market drop to the election of Obama. It was going up, especiallyas polls showed more of an upturn to McCain days before the election. Wednesday it skyrocketed down. i had predicted a 500 point (dollar) drop. It was 486 instead. I did and do see it dropping more, especially after January 21st. I was a bit surprised at another 400 dollar drop yesterday. I noticed it’s up preceding an upcoming Obama speech. He better say something reeeeaaalll different than he was saying during the campaign to turn this around. The public won’t notice the different anyway.

Everyone…and I mean everyone, we spoke to supporting Obama, couldn’t explain and barely knew what Obama’s policies were or are depending on what he was or is supporting at the time. That includes the Obama lawyers I spoke to. Let’s see what Obama’s supporting today.
