Five bucks says that if this cartoon had come out ten years ago and featured Dubya instead of Obama, base would see nothing funny about it. In fact, he'd see it as treasonous, liberal and un-American.

None of which, of course, addresses the problems with constitutionality that Obama has. Not pretending those don't exist, like base probably did with Dubya, Cheney and the rest of the fear-pimps that drive his political philosophy.

I didn't know Obama changed the Constitution...when did he do that?

Or is this something that passes for humor in tea party land?

the interesting thing about the far right is the ability to recognize obama as a clueless boob who is befuddled by his job that he lucked into and at the very same time, be a devious dictator commie socialist sleeper agent who is undermining the american way of life thru his evil brilliance.....

an example...

"crime is up everywhere not just kingwood, This happens when you have a leader that tells the world they are entitled to everything others have."
so obama is to blame for the burglar.....you heard it here first...

couse cod blames obama for his 'roids...

gotta love the local boards....idjits r us

"The second and far bigger point is that Barack Obama is weak internationally by choice. At home he’s amassing immense, unprecedented powers over the economy. If Congress won’t pass one of his desired pieces of legislation, he’ll try to achieve his ends through decrees, a.k.a. executive orders, or unprecedented and sweeping regulatory rulings. The niceties of the law have never stopped this White House from doing what it desires. The Obama Administration routinely ignores adverse court rulings. Brazenly lying to the public is no barrier, as the President’s oft-repeated pledge that people could, if they wished, keep their health insurance policies and doctors demonstrates. From the get-go ObamaCare wanted to destroy the market for individual medical-care policies and to obliterate the practices of sole medical practitioners. Hardcore socialists have long understood that it’s much easier to regulate people when they’re herded into collectives."

this goes to the matter of the belief in 'executive orders' and the claim that obama has signed so many more than previous presidents etc etc...

First of all, the number of executive orders issued by President Obama is grossly exaggerated here. By our count, as of

2012 the total number of executive orders issued by President Obama was 138, not 923. Moreover, compared to President Obama's predecessors in the White House, this is not an unusually large number of orders for a modern president: President issued orders during his eight years in office, while President Bill Clinton issued 364 such orders over the same span of time.

The listing of numbers of executive orders issued during the terms of modern presidents included in one of the examples above also bears no resemblance to reality. This chart compares the claimed number of orders issued by each president on the list with the actual number issued, as documented by The American Presidency Project:

Name Number claimed: Actual number:
Theodore Roosevelt 3 1,081
Franklin Roosevelt 11 3,522
Harry Truman 5 907
Dwight Eisenhower 2 484
John Kennedy 4 214
Lyndon Johnson 4 325
Richard Nixon 1 346
Gerald Ford 3 169
Jimmy Carter 3 320
Ronald Reagan 5 381
George H.W. Bush 3 166
Bill Clinton 15 364
George W. Bush 62 291
Barack Obama 923 138

The attribution to President Obama of fourteen executive orders (numbered between 10990 to 11921) in the example text is way off base as well: not a single one of those orders was issued by President Obama. The first twelve orders in the list date to the administration of President in 1962, one dates to the administration of President in 1966, and one dates to the administration of President in 1976.
