Lil Red Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 +J.M.J.+ [url="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17947.html"]Article here[/url] [quote]"I had all my villains in place for eight years and they've been taken away," lamented Pulitzer Prize winner Pat Oliphant, one of the most widely syndicated cartoonists. "I don't know that I've ever had this experience before, of a president I maybe like. This is an antagonistic art. We're supposed to concentrate on finding things wrong. There's no point in drawing a cartoon that's favorable." Amid a worsening recession, there is the question of what appetite exists for ridiculing a chief executive seen as earnestly trying to guide the country toward recovery. Racial sensitivities also are an issue, as reflected in last summer's uproar over the New Yorker cover of the Democratic candidate giving his wife — depicted as a gun-toting, Angela Davis look-alike — a fist jab in the Oval Office.[/quote] aww, the poor things!! what i find funny is this: [quote]Oliphant complained that Obama's physical features don't naturally lend themselves to caricature. "With Bush, you had that general vacuity -- those blanked-out eyes and those goofy expressions. As for Obama, Thank God for his ears. A good-looking president isn't good for cartooning."[/quote] seriously, there is nothing to make fun of Obama?
Winchester Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Eight years of unimaginitive elitist cartoons, gone! Gone, I say!
Maximilianus Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I would have to disagree with the second quote, Obama has plenty characteristics to caricature, he's just making excuses because he doesn't want to lampoon Obama. Just do a search with "obama cartoon" and you'll find many examples.
CatherineM Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I guess Doonesbury will take a hiatus again.

doe-jo Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Anyone who makes fun of a Obama is a racist. lol
eagle_eye222001 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Puleaze. It's easy to make fun of Obama. I guess if your a disciple of the Obamian church ....well...then you will have a hard time making fun of the [i]One[/i]. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/linkin+park/track/what+ive+done"]Linkin Park - What I've Done[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url]
eagle_eye222001 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Lincoln was vilified by the news media for the war. Just as bad if not worst than Bush. But then he got assassinated and became the savior of America. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/green+day/track/macys+day+parade"]Green Day - Macy's Day Parade[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url]

[/quote] Then, I was going to say, "well, if he's the one, he's also the [b][i]beautiful[/i][/b] according to Aristotle (along with the true ([i]hardly[/i]) and the good ([i]I wouldn't bet on it though[/i])." Then I got up and banged my head against the wall because I've clearly been spending way too many hours studying philosophy lately. Edited January 26, 2009 by the lords sheep
mamalove Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 We had a teacher here at a tech. college get put on leave because he made jokes about the intelligence of the people who voted for Obama. I guess free speech is on hiatus with the cartoonists.
