1. Great stuff.
I especially liked the Romney tax form and the Ron Paul one. If only people would wake up.

2. "Prevented a depression" - if Mr. Rall doesn't think much of that,
I'd like to tell him what my mother had to say about living through the Depression!
His attitude is somewhat akin to those who trivialize JFK's accomplishments, forgetting that he backed us down from nuclear war during the Cuban Missle Crisis! |

3. Rall does his thing...
...I don't particularly agree with him most of the time, but he certainly has a way of going about it that's enjoyable sometimes from an artistic perspective. I think this time he's served the purpose of demonstrating the failings of common view that diminishes the accomplishments of Mr. Obama.

8. No, it's problem is that it is untrue
It isn't the good citizens of the USA who are refusing to buy Canadian Oil, it is the blood sucking international oil companies who are shipping it off to China as fast as they can. The oil brought by the Keystone pipeline is to be refined and exported from the US.

9. however
I am surprised the Canadians did not complain about an arab stereotype that was right from the bottom of the belt. "egg sucking dog?" The point I made is, Canada is set so that people cannot just scream out "I GOT MY FIRST AMMENDMENT RIGHTS!" when they say something outright bigoted, so I think the Ottawa paper was a bit low. We would expect that sort of cartoon down in Dixie.

10. I found it interesting given that it was a Canadian...
...that cartoonist is normally pretty center-left IMHO.
