This brilliantly concieved by Ken Culotta. Obama is just a giant target for jokes. How can the professional comedians and cartoonists pass this wealth of material up?

Addendum:
Many thanks to my colleague Matt Bors for posting the cartoon above on his site. That was very kind. Click here to see his posting and check out the rest of his site.

I thought I would mention that the cartoon above was not intending to make fun of Obama’s name but that, as I understand it, the name Hussein is not well thought of in Iraq. After Iraq asked us to help with their troubles and Saddam Hussein was defeated, the name Hussein became mud to the good guys. Thus, Obama probably best kept the middle name under his hat while he was there.

I’ll chide myself here for taking some artistic license in the dress for the Iraqi airport employees. I pencilled it with dress shirts, ties and name tags and the cartoon didn’t read right. So, I placed more traditional garb on the fellows.
