Cartoons of the Day

The newest Rethuglican drama is over President Obama's promise in the State of the Union message to implement policies by Executive Order when legislation isn't necessary.  Their nonsensical cries of "King" and "dictator" don't hold up when you realize that Obama has been one of the most restrained Presidents when issuing Executive Orders -- far fewer than their demigod St. Ronnie of Hollywood.

After five years of organized obstruction by Rethuglican partisans, and their refusal to work with the Administration on significant legislation, the President decided that enough was enough.  As we noted last Monday, the public knows the score, too, and identifies the Rethugs as the party unwilling to compromise.
