Obama: Out of touch

June 30, 2008 at 1:09 pm --by Cindy Kilkenny · 14 Comments

From the New Yorker:

With the general election four months away, Obama’s rhetoric on the topic now seems outdated and out of touch, and the nominee-apparent may have a political problem concerning the very issue that did so much to bring him this far.

    New Yorker or not, that doesn’t look like Obama. Reminds me of someone else.

    Its an in process morph of Obama into Saddam.

    I was thinking of Sammy Davis Jr.

    Wow. Interesting observations. I can see both.

    I’m kind of fixated on the shadow, though.

  • 5 Kathryn // Jun 30, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    The shadow looks like Bing Crosby!

    Or maybe Fred Astaire. I’m thinking of a cartoon I saw as a child…one of them was the narrator, and he was caricatured wearing a scarf. Wish I could remember.

    The shadow does look a bit like Weird Harold or Bill from Fat Albert, although the chin is a bit long… lol

    As far as the shadow goes, Dick Van Dyke.

  • 9 Shawn Matson // Jun 30, 2008 at 10:19 pm

    Talk about a Carroll Legacy!

    Yes! Mary Poppins! Good catch, Capper. Although honestly, the exaggerated lips did remind me of the Fat Albert cartoon days.

    So, Dan, is the degree post named or did you still graduate from Carroll College?

    Anyone for Stan Laurel?

  • 13 Dan Harland // Jul 1, 2008 at 10:15 am

    I still graduated from Carroll College although alumni have the option of having a Carroll University diploma printed if they want.
