It has been over a month since this thread was written on but reading your words made me think of the agreement by both candidates in 2008 to use federal money for the campaign which would have resulted in the need for funds from outside sources being done away with. Who was it who decided he could raise a pile of money, too much of it from unlisted sources and too much of it from outside the nation, so he backed down? Why I think it was sure enough Obama and I wonder how much money will be raised by his campaign this time around that comes from outside the country and even from so many purely fictitious names as before.

Obama has seldom been in the White House for any period of time since the beginning of this year and although he has combined business trips with campaign appearances in order to pay the travel with tax dollars he hash't been around much more than he was in the Senate chambers the last year or two there.

It is very informative and really humorous at the same time. Someone did a lot of work to work this one up, especially the graphics.
That's easy for you to say when you sit around and wait for your government check to show up. You have more time than others to read blogs and conspiracy theories all day. Also, some of us don't need cartoons to help us come up with ideas, we think for ourselves.
