(39,731 posts)1. These are extra fabulous
Brilliant!

(47,953 posts)2. Too many cartoonists are lazily taking the low road on the private sector comment
Oliphant is just the latest. I have found it hard to find any cartoonist who doesn't take the easy route out and accepting the RW meme of Obama being out of touch. Kinda sad.

(27,711 posts)5. Lalo Alcaraz nailed it.
I think Oliphant's window cleaning metaphor is just too laborious. I weeded out the really wrong one's on the topic as I'm sure you notice.
I have been surprised how many normally liberal cartoonists have fallen for that meme, though.

(2,243 posts)3. I think I just flat don't understand the Oliphant
I see Uncle Sam, is that supposed to be Obama falling off the other end?

(27,711 posts)4. They are window cleaning...
