Two answers for you obamaman:

1. Personally, it does not bother me in the least the number of criticisms the right have for Obama. Would anyone have expected differently?

2. There existed no insult too great of which Bush was not deserving! In Bush we’re looking at a man of incompetence and low intellect. We don’t need to rehash his many failures, do we?

But hey, don’t take my word for it, simply refer to the many conservative voices at the current CPAC who have little or nothing good to say of their former leader. That, my friend, speaks volumes.

Check out my next post which will be out in a bit. It touches on this topic.

Just to play the Devil’s Advocate….all this complaint about slights to President Obama makes us appear somewhat hypocritical. I don’t think any of us felt there was too great an insult to heap upon the previous President!!

“If I take your purse and hide it under my bed and then one night, you break into my home and retrieve your purse, can I accuse you of stealing? No, of course not…you’re just returning the purse to its rightful owner.”

I beg to differ. O.J. SIMPSON went to jail — not because he killed two people, BECAUSE he stole back his property. Granted he held two people hostage with a weapon to “steal back” his stuff and that was the greater crime, but stealing is a crime.

Again I DO NOT LIKE HAVING OBAMA COMPARED TO A THIEF no matter how righteous the cause.

I don’t want to take this Robin Hood/Obama comparison too far but I will say this; stealing is a relative term.

If I take your purse and hide it under my bed and then one night, you break into my home and retrieve your purse, can I accuse you of stealing? No, of course not…you’re just returning the purse to its rightful owner.

Now before conservatives start screaming that the rich did not steal the money they earned, I agree. This is why I don’t want to carry the Robin Hood comparison too far. The point is simply that the well-to-do got huge tax cuts under Reagan and Bush while the middle class saw their net earnings drop. It’s time to correct this injustice…and Robama Hood is the man to do it.

And all I’m saying is that I don’t particularly like the comparison. OBAMA is NOT STEALING from the rich to give to the poor!!!!

It’s out there but I don’t like it. IT’S A LIE.

Jill, it's conservatives who are calling Obama, Robin Hood. All I'm saying is that I don't mind the comparision. After all, Robin was feared by the bad and loved by the good!

Sorry. But Colbert beat you on that one too. Although your hat may be better. And granted he may have had more resources at his disposal.

You know, while the Robin Hood of lore did do his best to right the wrongs done to the common folk and was well loved by all, well almost all, he was still considered an outlaw. Are you comfortable portraying Obama as an outlaw? I’m not. I’d prefer to leave the Robin Hood line to the bad guys …

As for your illustration … I’d say that was one and a half hours well spent … it’s beautiful.

You’re welcome,Dan. I used to watch that Robin Hood series as a kid…always loved that song.

Right…unlike what your boy Bush did for 8 years. Correct?
