Joe Peyronnin: Obama's Jobs Pivot

Mr. President, why would you think that Republicans, who control the House and can prevent cloture in the Senate, would ever do anything that may help get you re-elected? Job number one for you is job creation -- please take the lead.

Bill George: Debt Ceiling Agreement: No Cause for Celebration

Great cartoon.

Though it would be even better if the sexes (genders) were reversed.

I expected the Elephant to follow with, "Yes! Yes it was", and then leave cab fare on the dresser.

Had the same vision myself.....except the elephant slipped out without leaving cab fare, while the donkey shrugged and paid for that as well as the room fee.

Hey, Jon!

Considering how Obama and the Democrats gave away the store to the Republican'ts and essentially "rolled over" for Boehner and McConnell, it would have been more appropriate to have had the genders of the two characters reversed. If you know what I mean.
