Introducing...

This is the first of a new series of editorial cartoons called "Are You Kidding?!". Every once in awhile I'll take a quote from the news verbatim and create an image that highlights the absurd nature of the statement.

GarandFan:

"Smartest Man in the World!"

Terwiliger:

Later that same day, after being hammered for his ludicrous statement, Barry said:

"The economy's not doing fine... (Ughm) There are too many people out of work... the housing market is still weak and too many homes are underwater, and that's precisely why I asked Congress to start taking some steps than can make a difference."

SO: In a jircle-cerk that would have reached epic proportions had the statement not been challenged, the MSM lauded the POTUS for all things that are right with the world.

A few hours later, the great seer, soothsayer, sage and financial adviser to the Greek government--Barack the Magnificent--found a sound byte in a #2 caviar jar that magically appeared on the New Party porch & noted a symptomatic problem of the megalobanks (which are in his hip pocket) & the plebes & blamed it all on that "Do-Nothing Republican Congress." The MSM cheered again.

Why are so many homes underwater? Their mortgagers don't have jobs...

... which begs the question, "Why don't they have jobs?"

"Uh... uh... [IGNORE THE REASON--JUST "KNOW" THAT] It's Congress's fault." (NOTE: Harry Reid is blocking all budget legislation from reaching the floor for a vote--the do-nothings in Congress are SENATE DEMOCRATS.)

Nonetheless, according to Rasmussen, a 47% plurality of likely voters still support the POTUS.

"But Romney is one of those kooky Mormons!" Regardless of what you think about Mormonism--SO IS REID--& Reid wasn't born into the faith; he was raised as an agnostic & accepted the faith while in college, which would be exponentially nuts in Bill Maher's book. Just sayin'.

Anonymous:

If this becomes a regular series, the price of ink and bandwidth will necessarily skyrocket.

Funny and good stuff, though.

Dr. Bob:

Yup, that one deserves a comic!

Have to admit that the POTUS amd the V-POTUS definitely will give you enough material.

Tom Wms.:

This is going to be fun.

Craniac:

Will the ears grow larger every time he tells a lie?

kalashnikat:

This cartoon is a grave insult to Mickey Mouse fans everywhere!

A beanie with a solar powered propeller would be so much more appropriate...
