There goes Obama! Isn’t he havin’ FUN!!??!! And not one press person around!

I have been recently slammed with work and divorce legal issues and was going to pass on both cartoons this week. I quickly knocked this out Thursday night. Entirely done with Photoshop.

This was a tough one to get out. I had an extremely full day where I was on the road. I ended up drawing this at a Denny’s while waiting for my father’s delayed flight near the airport. So this one was drawn a bit more in a rush than others.

It is insanity that our federal government finds it necessary to drop lawsuits on top of struggling states. All in the face of appearance not actual threat. The Feds decide to ignore the  financial struggles the states are having and especially that Arizona struggles further trying to pay for the federal governments irresponsible handling of illegal aliens pouring over the border and costing so much.

More over the rest of the world must wonder what the U.S. is doing in that it was this sort of action that began the Civil War.

Ken Culotta wrote this a few weeks ago and until the Feds actually brought the lawsuit on I sat on the concept.

After there was much talk about “Drill, baby! Drill!”, I got tons of e-mails from environmental groups out to stop the idea. This time the President of the United States actually states that is his goal is to drill in a vastly larger area than Bush and I have yet to get even 1 e-mail.

Another written by Ken Culotta. I did a quick version of the oil platform. Those are VERY complicated. I added the oil slick for good measure. I forgot to record the pencils and inks for this cartoon.

Get the prize and ignore what it costs to get something free. I wanted to slip in my prediction being correct that the medical stocks would all start to rise dramatically after the health care plan got passed.

Here’s the cartoon on Glenn Beck’s website.

Drawn fast. I felt in good shape this day and I think it shopws in my drawing. Below is the recording of my pencils and inks.

This is not one of my better cartoons. However, I was hoping I was getting across the efforts of putting this insane health care plan together. What Pelosi , Reid and Obama are trying pull off requires the political skills equal to a contortionist.

This was also drawn quickly. After I scanned the inked version in, I redrew all three faces using Photoshop. I forgot to record me drawing this cartoon.

No health care = Massive losses in November for Democrats and Obama suddenly becomes less welcome at Democrat fund-raising opportunities. Obama can’t have that happen. Appearances are his entire stock and trade. So Pelosi will have to keep her track record in tack and get this through and save Obama from having to figure out what to do if ha can’t hit the campaign circuit.

I was having a bad day when I went at this and basically botched it. While drawing on UStream, viewer Jared Sloger flagged me on the original cartoon, thank goodness. I trashed the first and re-approached the subject very quickly and knocked out the pencil and ink of above. Thanks, Jared!

Below is the stream for the cartoon above:

Below is the first attempt. Please excuse all of my frustration.

Something like an experience I’ve had recently. This is all about protecting the insurance companies and giving doctors and the pharmaceutical companies cover to not have to lower prices. Lowering prices by the latter two would eliminate the need for insurance or lawyers that feed off of medical problems.

I was trying to illustrate my predicament in a broad way and get the idea across that the insurance companies are the muscle for the docs. Then here comes a Federal version of the same muscle making even more trouble.
