4. That makes no sense. It should be "insurance companies complaining the FD uses too much water"

5. Makes a lot of sense to me.

If my political party ran up a huge deficit -- when my party's powerhold began with a $230 billion surplus -- & I had the gall to complain when the other political party was trying to do something constructive to fix the problems caused by my party, then I need a reality check.

Repukes are the ones complaining about the Democrats trying to put out the huge wildfire with "too much water".

8. Okay, the arsonist might stand to gain if the fire isn't extinguished.
I never could tell a metaphor from a simile from an analogy.
grr

9. There was a cartoon similar to that
Firemen putting out a blaze on a building labeled "financial crisis" using a firehose that said "bailouts".

Some guy across the street saying "Look at all that water they're wasting"

13. One I thought of but don't have the talent to draw:
The Democrats are firefighters and Obama is the fire chief. They are racing to put out a burning building, representing the U.S. economy, but a GOP elephant carrying gasoline and matches is holding up his hand saying "Not so fast!"

11. I expect Obama to move on ...
and not seek justice against the arsonists who bankrupted the fire department.

14. Right. Any criticism of Obama automatically means support of Nader, Clinton, or Right Wing policies.
The left is now the right wing enemy. :crazy:
