A list of cliches in search of an idea. One of the weakest ever.

I doubt that this will become one of the enduring images of the campaign, as the New Yorker cover will and has, but there are areas of America where I cannot imagine that this poster will help him. Southeast Florida, from Palm Beach down to Miami, for example. Areas of NYC as well.

It is a little too, well, derivative. Reminiscent of certain German posters from the 1930s. So much so as to be uncomfortable for some.

The one I heard today was:
Obama, “Ich bin ein beginner.”

I was so “embarrassed” today when this meatball went to
Germany and addressed those knuckleheads in English and the Germans said, “okay.” I guess they only get upset when we drive our SUVs or when we eat at McDonalds.

>>>Obama, “Ich bin ein beginner.<<<

The cartoonist at Investors Business Daily, Michael Ramirez, has a cartoon with this for the punch line.
It’s the one on July 15th.

It is hilarious!! Here’s a link to the collection of his cartoons - consistently the funniest conservative cartoonist out there!

Thank you. I have seen some of his work, but didn’t know where it came from.
