Obama signs an executive order expanding the right of the government to hold prisoners without charging them and keeping Guantanamo concentration camp open.
Deep Down
•
Liberals’ willingness to ignore actions in favor of emotional projection never ceases to amaze.
Good and Pure
•
Obama and Bush pursue the same policies on important issues, but only Bush catches liberal opprobrium.
The Asterisk President
•
Fairly self-explanatory, but this is something I’ve been trying to convey about Obama for some time. He has perfect Bush’s art of getting the big headline and then amending it into nothingness later when nobody is paying attention. Remember Bush’s signing statements? Obama doesn’t need them–he does the same thing without them.
Nation of Criminals
•
Republicans argue that the Gitmo detainees cannot be safely transferred to the U.S. Why not?
Liberal Projection
•
In all the ways that matter to liberals, Barack Obama is the second coming of George W. Bush. But in the same way that Republicans project their values of small government and low taxes on a party that doesn’t adhere to them, liberal Democrats project values of being antiwar and pro-civil liberties that they don’t make the slightest pretense of following.
Same Old, Feels Great
•
Obama is amazing. First he gets credit for closing Gitmo—even though he leaves it open for a year and is moving the inmates to Bagram. Then he refuses to prosecute torturers. Now he’s retaining Bush’s kangaroo court system at Gitmo. When are “liberals” going to realize that our first black president is just another fascist?
A Terrible Reckoning
•
Torturers are warned that they may face a tender accounting for Bush Administration war crimes.
American Heroes
•
I hope the second panel is understandable. I’m trying to say that the workers voted to take pay cuts, but the boss will screw them. It’s probably confusing.
And they say drawing comics is easy. Liars!
