Default It all begins to come clear to me now

Let me begin by saying the carton does 'step over the line' but...

In another thread a discussion about how the majority of americans were forthright and NOT taking advantige of the goverment or entitlement opportunitys. In that thread I said that I dont believe that the majority of americans are 'grifters' waiting to bilk the latest 'cirsis'.

Then I see this and realize there is still a LARGE entitlement point of view segment of the populous.

Its a cartoon, bad taste yes, but to bring the city streets to a standstill and make loud protests over? Cmon for cryin out loud its the freakin New York Post. There probably going out of buisness anyhow. So yea... lets put them out of work too.

Oh yeah, another lame excuse to play the race card.

The cartoon represents the chimp killed recently, not Obama. I guess they assumed it did as a chimp was used by some to poke fun at President Bush which was of course OK.

I guess if GWB was stil in power there would be praise at such a clever idea.

Some people just can't see things properly.

Seriously. I've seen quite a few political cartoons showing Bush as a Monkey and no one cared. Its just because people like bitching about something.

Exactly, they suffered somewhat of a set back to their 'cause' when a black man was elected president and needed something to get their faces in the news again.

It is after all what keeps them in buisness.

No and neither did Obama.

Still... Pelosi does resemble an ape somewhat.
