I was just getting around to reading some of the Archie comics digests that I’d purchased over the past few years, and I came across this panel from issue #64 of World of Archie Comics Double Digest:
Since the digests are reprints of older stories, the original story was almost certainly published many years (or even decades) before anyone had ever heard of Barack Obama.
I’m not sure when or in which issue this story was originally published. My guess is that it’s from the late 1970s or early 1980s.
Also, since this is a modern day reprint of an older story, they edited the text to remove Svenson’s Swedish accent. This alteration is an unfortunate symptom of today’s political correctness. Decades ago, the whole point of the Svenson character was his accent. Without it, all of his personality is gone.
You can read the entire story (which is called “Clean Sweep”) at this link. Scroll down about 30% of the way: https://books.google.com/books?id=MhpsDQAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=world+of+archie+digest+64&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjx-6O1vt7eAhUM11kKHXg4BDoQ6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
Heh, one of my fave expressions now is “Excuse me, I’ve got to go and take a bodacious Obama.”
Braak!Where’s my coffee??
“Brraaappp!” is the sound of wind breaking, and also someone sharting their drawers, in order to paint an accurate representation of former President Skidmark.
Take Barack surfing.
You took a bodacious Obama, and looked in the toilet afterwards, and saw a stinking pile of Mitt... 
Stephen King’s The Stand: Randall Flagg is the agent of the devil—”the dark man, the walkin’ dude”
At one point the kind of feral “Joe” (Leo Rockway) speaks of Flagg thusly: “Barracccckkkkk man!!!”
“You took a bodacious Obama, and looked in the toilet afterwards, and saw a stinking pile of Mitt... “
Good one!
Excuse me, I’ve got to go and take a bodacious Obama, and wipe my Moochelle!
I thought his dad got the name from the sound he heard when a he farted on a piece of corrugated steel roofing...
I thought it was comic language for a loud burp....
At your service!
Bill Maher is on it already. He says Stan Lee gave us Trump.
a fine, fine name (it means “blessed”) hung on a totally-undeserving basturd (Obammy)....
if that be his real name (we still don’t know his real name...).....his parents had great hopes for him
alas!
What about Baracka? I’m still wondering about that one.
As conservatives, it is nice to know that we are keeping up the tradition.
Archie comics? Was Casper comics and Richie rich and Lois lane comics unavailable?
I worked with a guy named Rob Barraco. He went on to play with various bands including Phil Lesh and Friends, The Dead, Dark Star Orchestra, Chris Robinson & New Earth Mud, the Zen Tricksters, Red Flannel Hash, and The Dragonflys.[1] He was the permanent keyboardist for Phil Lesh and Friends from 2000 to 2003.
