I know I promised not to do any more political cartoons for a while, but sometimes when you work on one thing other ideas present themselves.

I fully acknowledge that this is politically biased. I've never pretended I wasn't partial to one side over another, and I'm not going to stop now.

EDIT: "Obama didn't KILL Bin Laden!"
Perhaps choosing the word "got" would have been better? If you think I'm suggesting he was the one who physically took Bin Laden's life, then you're just being stupid. Obama (while he didn't start the program) is the one who ordered the military strike which resulted in Bin Laden's death. I summed it up to make a point, so please... stop arguing semantics.

EDIT: "Global Warming is FALSE!"
If you can't trust NASA, then who CAN you trust? [link]

EDIT: I don't know what's scarier... that people seem to be missing the point of the comic (which is being a rational person = weak while being insane = strong) or the number of conspiracy theories being spewed left and right.

EDIT: I don't feel like stressing this again, so I'm just gonna copy/paste a quote from a DA user who summed up my feelings pretty succinctly: "It's amusing that people are going OMG YOU'RE SO BIASED YOU NEED TO BE LESS BIASED. News flash, people: Not everything on the internet has to be rootless and unbiased. Especially not a political cartoon, which by the nature of its label pretty much demands a bias - otherwise it's just a cartoon with politicians in it."

If Mitt had won the election, I would have lost even more faith in humanity.

Okay, there is so much wrong here, so I'll break it down, beginning with Obama.

Relations with Russia, NK, China, Iran and Israel are AWFUL under Obama. Our enemies do not fear us, and our allies have no faith in us.

The government should never have been involved with the banks, but that's big government liberal fascism for you. I like how you ignored the housing bubble caused by Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac and the federal government (namely Barney Frank) though.

Obama believes in crony capitalism and uses tax payer money to fund "green energy" initiatives right into the ground. Solyndra and similar companies are a joke. There are untold millions of wasted tax payer dollars that we will never get back.

Obama changes opinions based on which way the political winds are blowing; he's a political opportunist. And a flip-flopper. At what point did he become so "transformed"? What would have triggered such a drastic ideological change? Can anyone tell me??

The SEALs killed Bin Laden under the plans of Secretary Panetta and Admiral McRaven. All Obama did was say "yes, do it." Even then, it took him a long time to agree to it. So by your logic, Bush killed Saddam.

Now for Romney and Santorum.

Oil is not evil. It is the best and most reliable source of energy available. And the industry creates TONS of jobs. They are right to "endorse" it, even if "big oil's" profit margins have been slashed under Obama.

They do believe in taxes, but they do not believe in slamming the rich with mountains of unnecessary taxes simply because they make more. They already shoulder most of the tax burden as it is. Obama simply hates the rich- it's basic marxism 101 to paint the rich as evil and greedy. And you all fell for it. But this is a strawman statement of yours anyway.

Remove women's rights? Again, strawman. The liberals' war on women continues. How many women are in Obama's cabinet again?

The Global warming theory is deeply flawed. History has showed drastic periods of warming and cooling throughout the centuries. Man has nothing to do with it. But by all means- tell me all about how C02 (a natural gas, no less) can catastrophically damage a planet that can endure hurricanes, meteor impacts, tsunamis, earthquakes and tornadoes.

Proven wrong? By who? You, Tommy? You and your standard liberal talking points? You didn't disprove anything. I just dismantled your entire "cartoon' with almost no effort. If you're going to be biased, do your homework, Tommy. Don't be such a drone.

Because of creeps like you, Obama has another 4 years to accelerate the decline of the American economy. When you see your healthcare premiums skyrocket, the unemployment rate spike, China militarize itself and continue to steal our intellectual property, and the national debt top 17, 18, 19 and $20 trillion dollars, don't you dare whine about it.
