Title: Obamarama
Post by: Macawmoses on February 18, 2009, 05:40:41 PM
Two topics in one!

First:

(http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2009-02-18-cartoon.jpg)

The New York Post is in heavy poop over that one. They're being called racist, and down right insensitive. Those poor fools. Nonetheless, they're being bashed by pretty much everyone right now. What are your comments on this...work?




Other topic:

Obama comes to Canada tomorrow, as his first out of state journey. While we wanted to show him good ol Canadian hospitality, and have him address Parliament, he is skipping on all of the pomp and circumstance - he's coming for business, and business only.

So, for the Canadians and political aficionados, what do you think of Obama's trip to the Great White North? What changes do you think could come as a result (Oil Sands discussion, yay) What do you think of his choice as first destination (Bush chose Mexico).

The NYP has become the only newspaper I respect now. That's one of the best political cartoons I've seen in a while.

I don't know why he'd be leaving the country if he hasn't even been president for a month. Too much poop he should be getting done.

I'm surprised they haven't been sued for that yet. I think it's pretty offensive.

That's a very good drawing of Obama.  I don't see why anybody is angry.

I actually don't feel offended by that picture.(maybe a little) It's just a cartoon, although I can clearly see why it would be so offensive to people

bawwwww someone made a satirical political cartoon they're racist :| :|

And yet I didn't see anyone whining about Bush political cartoons. But that's OK because the media has our best interests at heart and provides only the best news in the most unbiased fashion.

He also bought Canadian cookies for his children.

Yeah it might be racist but many people agree a monkey wrote his plane. Not as in black people are monkeys T_T. Why do people always see the bad in everything.

I can see why people would be offended with the monkey thing (not that I personally care).
A regular cartoon I have no problem with, but the shooting of the monkey in (new england I think?) was a little unnecessary X_X;;

I meant comparing Obama and the government's bailout to that of a rabid monkey (and possible racial slurs that would happen because of such).
But whatever X_X;;

of course he aimed things at Alberta.  He has to satisfy his voterbase so he gets elected again in 4 years.

That's all that the first term is ever about, getting re-elected.

Also, he can't force policy on us.  Harper knows this, and if Obama threatens trade wars, hell, we can give them a trade war.
