These are some sketches I did while I was on the plane. I know, McCain looks like Kennedy – don’t know why? The Palin one is hard to read, so I will paraphrase. She talks about Obama’s connection to domestic terrorists. Then if you notice, Steve Stolls is burying weapons in his front yard, and there is a Confederate Flag in his window that says ‘John Birch Society’ and the sign in the background says ‘Welcome to Wasilla’
I finally got a copy of this book before I left on vacation, it is amazing and in depth. Shepard is one of the premier graphic designers / pop artists working today. he of course is responsible for this Obama print.
I got this email from a reader while I was gone on vacation. Not sure what is up with the LINK, if someone sees something I don’t let me know;
Hi DL:
   Do you think that John Thune would like to remember what he said here (link below) in the midst of all of this Palin-stoked anti-Obama  that is going on at the McCain campaign rallies nationally? Should a senator like Thune, who we see on TV walking side by side with McCain through the hallways of the Capitol, really keep quiet through all of this? Can we expect to hear from Senator Thune some denunciation of the tone of these take out Obama psycho-crowds? Why hasn’t he said anything? If he has changed his own opinion of Obama, maybe he should let us know. If he has a future in a post-McCain republican party, maybe now is the time to speak up and denounce this crap. Do you think a cartoon would help? Or just a letter to an editor?
If I were a republican and remembered Thune’s endearing words, I’d think it’s be OK to vote Obama, wouldn’t you?
Yours truly,
“I think he is a transformational figure, he is a new generation coming onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I’ll be voting for Sen. Barack Obama,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“Obama displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of knowledge,” Powell said.
“He has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president,” he said.
I wonder how long it will take the McCain campaign to smear Powell when he spoke of Obama being a Christian:
Powell, who served as Secretary of State for President George W. Bush, said he was also “troubled what members of the Republican party” have said along the lines of , “We know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.”
First off, Powell said, Obama is a Christian. But more to the point, he said, “is there something wrong with being a Muslim?” He worried about the message the GOP was sending to a hypothetical 7-year-old Muslim American who thinks he can grow up and be president some day.
History making. This is what this election has been called in many ways. The glass celling has been shattered. How inspiring for Americans to be able to feel as they may have when they were 7-years-old, when someone told them, “you can be anything. Even president of the United States of America.”
Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmannwas on Hardball yesterday and tried to discredit Obama once again by calling his associations as “Anti-American”.
Mathews kept her seat on fire by asking:
How many Congresspeople, members of Congress are in that anti-American crowd you describe?
Bachmann had a hard time once she was backed into a corner but managed to insinuate the elected officials she severs with might be anti-American.
I would say, what I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look — I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America? I think the people would love to see an expose like that.
I believe a congresswoman going on national tv spewing a politics of fear and loathing and demonization and division and distraction is Anti-American. Bachmann thinks that anyone who disagrees with her personal political agenda is unpatriotic. But she is the one who has a lot to learn about what it means to love America.
