1. Great cartoon

[Dustlawyer]

7. Sad, but oh so true.

[yurbud]

2. if that's supposed to be mcConnell, it's way too complimentary.

The guy looks like a jellyfish with anorexia.

[11 Bravo]

3. Agreed. How can that be Mitch? The cartoon character actually has a chin!

[yurbud]

8. Mitch has a floating piece of cartilage that looks vaguely chin-ish

21. Who's the guy on the right?

I had to do a double-take when I first looked at the cartoon, because on first glance, I saw...

5. Genius

As a professional cartoonist, I, too, would rank this piece as one of the best of the best. Good on ya, Horsey!

9. Welcome to DU, gregcrawford!

I love political cartoons. They perfectly encapsulate ideas, concepts, philosophies, outrages, and more. Sometimes you can hit home, harder, with an insightfully-drawn picture. Especially since most Americans process information visually. A picture truly is worth AT LEAST a thousand words. Or, hopefully, wake-up calls!

It'd be neat to see your work. Where can we find it? And/or could you post a piece or two here, by any chance?

6. For some reason I found this one compelling today

Seems like it sums up our insanity and greed.

10. Indeed....ACA lies, climate change lies...how to combat them??? nt

[Whisp]

12. yes.

I wonder what names McConnell calls Obama when he's out of control.

[msanthrope]

13. Well...he called Obamacare an "expensive joke." Not sure if that counts as a slur against Obama.

Forgive the source!!

[Whisp]

14. That's quite gentlemanly, compared. n/t

[msanthrope]

15. Joke's on Mitch now, isn't it? Obama won the ACA debate. nt

[Whisp]

16. Losers and winners. Obama has always been a winner.

Lots of losers.

[msanthrope]

17. Yes. nt

[pauliedangerously]

18. The Power of Money...what else could it be?

The effects of global climate change are a part of the US's long term defense strategy, so the DoD doesn't consider it a hoax. Clearly, people are being payed off to lie...I never imagined the Republican Party could become this corrupt and contemptible. They never would have without the Fox News Channel. I'm aghast.

19. I had an imaginary vision today- Obama's final presidential speech, to the people of the future

In my little movie, Obama closed out his presidency with a fiery blockbuster speech to the people of the future.

He told the people to reflect on the conditions they see around them- drought, destruction, war, starvation, and calamity.

He laid out, in forceful and powerful terms, all the things Republicans did to create this dystopian future.

He laid out the sabotage, the betrayal, the treason and treachery, the lies and mendacity of the Republican world.

He laid the blame for the conditions of that future at their feet.

He itemized the efforts and proposals he and Democrats had made to change the hellbound course we were on.

And he made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that Republicans were to blame for the calamitous devastation that future populations endured.

You don't have to point out Obama this Democrats that "they're all complicit" millionaire congressmen kabuki theatre. I know all that

I'd still like to see Obama's "Speech to the Future" as a powerful, enduring, and historical document. A marker from a point in history.

20. The problem lies in

there are enough willfully ignorant people (aka bigots) to get cretins like McConnell elected and put in powerful positions so as to cause great harm to the vast majority for the benefit of the wealthy few.

22. Love this. Thank you for posting.

24. Here in KS, we just broke a all time drought record-

set back during the height of the dust bowl in 1936. The start of this year is the driest ever. I can't even grow a decent dandelion. It truly is scary. I think that is why they want meteorologists to talk about Benghazi. Give those rednecks a gun and then scare them, they want to be sure they point it at someone else.
