"He's superman at the moment - young, black, good-looking, progressive," says British cartoonist Andy Davey. So perhaps it's not surprising you have to look hard to find an unflattering cartoon of the new US president. With the end of his first 100 days in sight, the Political Cartoon Gallery in London is putting on an exhibition of original cartoons of Barack Obama. It charts his rise as an outside candidate for the Democratic Party nomination to his first few months in the White House. The founder of the gallery, Dr Tim Benson, says he's assembled more than 60 cartoons from British publications and they're almost all positive.

Barack Obama dispels the dark clouds of the Bush years (AndyDavey/The Sun)
BARF ALERT...PICS ARE DISGUSTING.
Obama’s a Pot-Head.
Andy Davey, cartoonist with the Sun newspaper, says he's enjoyed drawing Barack Obama so far but doesn't feel anyone's come up with the defining caricature of the new president yet."None of us can draw Bush without seeing Steve Bell's monkey. Steve Bell or Gerald Scarfe tend to set the benchmark and others follow," he says.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Ted Rall, President of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, says President Obama is enjoying an unusually long, deep honeymoon with the majority of US cartoonists."Most of us are being taken in by his charm and charisma. It's difficult not to like him - he's competent, smart and it's such a relief after what went before."
Ted Rall is a self-declared anarchist. He's down for the revolution (and revolution is the reason he supports the 2nd amendment).
No, a not well closeted diaper head..
But Chia grow out of a pot.
Lots of shi’ite in that diaper. That is why he is said to have a fertile imagination..
