Never thought I'd see a Doonesbury comic like this.
Disillusionment, anyone?

He’ll explain to the girls how it’s all Bush’s fault.
Really? I took at as a swipe at everyone who expects Obama to keep his promises, likening them to annoying children.
When the messiah falls even among the blind admirers like Trudeau you know the rats are leaving the ship.
Just keep shaving until November 2010, Mr President.
**annoying children**
We are not his children - so that really is a twofer trashing from Mrs. Jane Pauley.
i.e. we are annoying him, he has no solutions and he is angry enough to draw blood.
Last line counters that IMO....
He’s bleeding !
Even knowing what he knows today Trudeau would do everything he could to get Obama elected if Obama were running today. I’d say ‘campaigning’ except Obama has never stopped campaigning.
A sure sign of the end. Just like the lame stream media, not relative.
Doones is sticking up for O, thats for sure.
“you know the rats are leaving the ship.”
and the scurrying is getting louder almost hourly
can anyone imagine how this loss of MSM worship freaks the POS 0dumbo out?
he is not used to reality
man Presidenting is hard
I predict he will go back to campaigning where he can get cheered everyting he blames his problems on Bush
Anyway, in the sequence in the book I read, B. D. had lost a leg in Iraq, and was now the head football coach of the football team, and was also assisting a family with a son who had come back from the war with a head injury. The portrayal was quite sympathetic. In one sequence, the soldier with the head injury commented that B. D. was incredibly brave, as he'd never mentioned he had an artificial leg when helping the soldier adjust to life with a head injury, and said B. D. had waited to tell him in order to show him that you could live a normal life with a disability. B. D. commented, "No, I just forgot about it," to which the other soldier said, "That's even better!"
It was a very odd change to me, as I haven't seen the strip in years. Trudeau seemed to have a legitimate sympathetic interest in our wounded veterans, something he never displayed during Viet Nam, when he made a hero out of a North Vietnamese terrorist named Phred.
If you're right then it's far too subtle for the average lefty loonatic to get it.
That's an excellent guess.
By the way, is anybody else astounded to see that the Doonesbury comic strip is still around? The guy who draws it must be 70, and the characters in the strip about 60.
I took it as the American people are children with unrealistic expectations.
“Daddy, you better FIX immigration now so we can stay in the house four more years!”
I think the cartoonist’s point was that we’re all acting like children, asking “Daddy” why he hasn’t fixed everything instantly.
If he uses Obama’s straw quote, then I might think a little disillusionment is creeping in.
