Does Barack Obama even know what President Obama is up to? It’s not clear based on his speeches.

*THIS* is the one that I saw previously and posted:

Shirley Mason (in 1958): “I do not really have any multiple personalities. I do not even have a ‘double.’ … I am all of them. I have been lying in my pretense of them.”
Your Obama/drone cartoons are my favorites, but THIS is a masterpiece! Particularly that first panel: “WTF? SOME MANIAC.” HA I tell you, I really cannot stand when people talk about the Obamas as if they’re just regular, respectable people. “Gee, Michelle looks great! Wonder what she’ll wear to the State of the Union!” Blissfully unaware they’re fawning over a brutal, murderous, lawbreaking tyrant’s wife. Just watched Colbert Report July 15 in which guest stated that Obama has killed women and children by drone strike in Yemen and given no reason for doing so. Awkward silence from Obamabot audience!
Oh and the outraged, indignant Obama in panel 2. Perfect! Bring that one back again, Ted!
It’s really fascinating to me. We have all these instances in history of leaders and their women committing atrocities, and every single time, there’s a gang of wannabe starfuckers tagging along, tongues lolling.
When the Obama children reach adulthood, I say they be given a choice: publicly renounce your parents and all the criminal things they did (look at examples where children of sex maniacs and serial killers have done so), or stand up with them in the dock.
I wonder how the Obama supporters (“we were only following orders!”) will justify whatever Bradley Manning’s going to get. I suspect that he’ll draw a long, long, long prison term. They’ll probably release him in a few years, say around 2045.
Very funny
Shit, Ted – now I’m going to have to update my copy DSM V ! You’ve done a pretty good job in the cartoon of delineating the signs and symptoms of Dissociative Political Identity Disorder, but I’d like to hear more about co-morbid disorders, such as worship of the super rich, love for people like Lawrence Henry Summers, etc….
