POPULARITY CONTESTS

President Obama Still Quite Popular

... and handsome.We have had a new president for 100 whole days, and even though Teabaggers warn of creeping socialism, Barack Obama has somehow hypnotized 64 percent of people into thinking he is doing a good job. Republicans hate his guts, of course, but apparently there aren’t many of them left. [AP]

    Love that picture. Can we get some music to play behind it? Moody Blues, perchance?

  2. BillyClubb says at 9:51 am, April 23rd, 2009

    I wasn’t so sure, but then I saw him shirtless, and now I have his name tattooed on my shoulder. I can’t wait for his new rap CD!

  3. hobospacejunkie says at 9:52 am, April 23rd, 2009

    This is why the teabaggers belong in the category ‘point & laugh,’ rather than ‘fear populist uprising.’ Also.

    Jerk Cade: No, I’m thinking more of Three Times One Minus One’s magnum opus, Ewwww Girl Eeewwww.

    Barry was the unknown fourth member of Earth, Wind & Fire: Water.

  6. Serolf Divad says at 9:55 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Let me put it this way: The GOP is syphilis, and Barack Obama is a big shot of penicillin.

    So of course he’s still popular.

  7. freakishlystrong says at 9:56 am, April 23rd, 2009

    But Fox News keeps telling me his Presidency is in trouble? What?

  8. 4tehlulz says at 10:02 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Serolf Divad: But many people are allergic to penicillin, hence the teabaggers and Glenn Beck.

    norbizness: Iss like I’m sayin, WPCBCN rocks

  10. hobospacejunkie says at 10:06 am, April 23rd, 2009

    norbizness: It’s like I’m sayin’
    Damn!

  11. Doglessliberal says at 10:07 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Are those roses exploding from his loins?

  12. Are they remaking Mandingo? Who has Raquel Welch’s role?

    4tehlulz:

    It’s said that once syphilis had spread to Nietzsche’s brain he was driven mad. The final breakdown came when Nitezsche saw a man beating a donkey on the street. Nietzsche threw himself between the man and the donkey and, taking the animal by the neck, began weeping profusely. I could see Glenn Beck doing something like that.

  15. norbizness says at 10:11 am, April 23rd, 2009

    I AIN’T GOT NO FLYIN’ SHOES

  16. TaterFarm says at 10:13 am, April 23rd, 2009

    That picture is crying out for Blingee.

  17. hobospacejunkie says at 10:17 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Serolf Divad: Men should not beat donkeys. Neecha wasn’t insane, the world around him had gone mad. Allegedly.

  18. FaunceyGardner says at 10:22 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Is that a phone in his hand? “Hi, Bar, it’s me again, can u talk?”

  19. Doglessliberal says at 10:24 am, April 23rd, 2009

    TaterFarm: Blingee would be overkill. That picture IS Blingee.

    I love that he’s popular and that the wingers are sucking one…hard.

    Painted by Larry Sinclair from the back of his limo.

  23. bitchincamaro says at 10:35 am, April 23rd, 2009

    And he’s still clean!

  24. MARCdMan says at 10:37 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Obama’s popped collar makes him look dangerously guido-ish. Carefull with that pic.

  25. Cape Clod says at 10:39 am, April 23rd, 2009

    “A majority of Americans believe the Obama administration is following higher ethical standards than the Bush administration.”

    Just goes to show how ethically challenged the Bush adminstration was that they are viewed as being more corrupt than a fascist/socialist/communist, Muslin, birth certificate forger.

  26. Mr Blifil says at 10:43 am, April 23rd, 2009

    I think my plates just shifted.

  27. Norbert says at 10:49 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Serolf Divad: yes but will Glenn Beck’s sister parade him around in his pajamas so people can gawk at the syphillitic looney-tune and she can cash in? oh wait, Fox is taking care of that angle nicely

  28. Lazy Media says at 10:53 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Apparently, Ron Fournier (a known winger, btw), lost all AP backfiles from pre-2001. He takes the fact that BUSH was universally unpopular, and construes it to imply that PRESIDENTS are unpopular, and Americans are generally pessimistic (as opposed to just pessimistic about Bushies). Wanker.

    Oh, and stop hotlinking to pictures of my van.

  29. Texan Bulldoggette says at 10:54 am, April 23rd, 2009

    DC Hates Me: You know what, even Beck, Hannity & Rush don’t bring up that fictitious shit. If you think you’re being funny, um…no–not at all. Go back to stockpiling your weapons for the march.

  30. 2druk2phluq says at 10:58 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Is that a river horse? Did they forget the magic horn?

  31. Red Zeppelin says at 11:02 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Man, I just want to get me a Chevy van so I can have that painted on the side!

  32. Serolf Divad: Don’t forget Nietzche’s pledge to roll around town, just stone cold shooting anti-semites. http://www.harkavagrant.com/history/neitzschefinal.png

  33. american mutt says at 11:10 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Red Zeppelin: I will so donate to your cause if you get that done.

  34. PrairiePossum says at 11:12 am, April 23rd, 2009

    I’d love to own that picture on a black velvet canvas. It would compliment my black velvet Elvis and black velvet Jesus portraits.

  35. The Church of Realism says at 11:14 am, April 23rd, 2009

    He is the magical Black Elvis.

  36. zhubajie says at 11:16 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Their general rejection will only make the remaining Republifucks the more desperate and angry. Be sure to provoke them whenever you have a chance!

    I fapped.

  38. Capitol Hillbilly says at 11:32 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Serolf Divad: “The GOP is syphilis.” Are saying that Henry VIII was a Republican?

  39. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 11:34 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Now Cantor says the Republicans and Obama got off to a bad start. Like they didn’t contrive the bad start. I think some Republicans want to be re-elected. Hence, Cantor saying they need to do better with the Prez. They won’t be able to, because they can’t help themselves. They are duct-taped to that crazy base. So, go right wing base! Keep doing your thing! Keep having your tea parties! Especially July 4, when people will be annoyed at that junk, and will want some true blue corny red, white, and blue picnics and fire works.

  40. Custerwolf says at 11:38 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Nice Watchtower cover.

  41. Custerwolf says at 11:41 am, April 23rd, 2009

    Serolf Divad: Unfortunately, you have greatly misunderstood the profundity of that act - and I’m NOT referring to Glenn Blechh.

    american mutt: I think I’ve got some huge old Pioneer speakers I can hook up to the stereo, so I’ll be cruisin’ with some sweet soul music!

  44. S.Luggo says at 12:20 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    That’s a Ruskie submarine next to Barry’s right arm. Explains everything.

  45. S.Luggo says at 12:28 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    FaunceyGardner: Cell phone? No. It’s his Kenyan passport.

  46. JamesMichaelCurley says at 12:33 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    Serolf Divad: My ENT specialist said that if Rush Limbaugh came to her with the sudden accute hearing loss he described (singed big buck contract renewal, looses substantial hearing the next month) the first thing she would do is have him tested for syphillis.

  47. chascates says at 12:51 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    This popularity is pushing Drudge into overdrive:

    THE HUNDRED DAYS: SUPPORTERS INSIST HE IS GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER

    URGENT: OBAMA GRACES COVER OF ‘TIME’ [FOR 13TH TIME IN PAST YEAR]…

    EXCLUSIVE PHOTO ESSAY! SEE OBAMA MOVE CHAIRS AROUND! ..GAZE AT JFK… THROW FOOTBALL

    They got nothin’!

  48. Gallowglass says at 1:00 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    JamesMichaelCurley: I thought that the hearing loss was linked to his Oxy habit. Fried the nerves or something. The syph takes a long time to get bad enough to damage nerves.

  49. Hooray For Anything says at 1:18 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    Cue Nelson Muntz walking up to Rush Limbaugh: Ha ha!

  50. SayItWithWookies says at 1:18 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    No giant clamshell? No cherubim? Fake fake fake.

  51. Custerwolf says at 2:17 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: “No giant clamshell?”
    No, I’m afraid K-lo declined the invitation to stand for the artist.

  52. McDuff says at 2:17 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    I want to stand on my desk and say “Captain, oh my Captain” as Barry walks out the door.

  53. PlanetWingnuta says at 2:27 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    That pic should so go on a romance novel!

    I Love My President…a hareliquim polictio-romance novel

    hobospacejunkie: Nah Dawg, if he’d have just looked under the donkey, he’d a seen he was getting off on it.
    Just like Glenb Beck.

    Assuming these numbers were gathered before the TRUTH about his succulent color came out?

    WAKE UP!!!!!!!

  56. IonaTrailer says at 4:02 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    Nice painting - in the “Jesus guiding the trucker through the storm” genre.

    I want to see more hot bathing suit pix of Obama. Maybe him shooting some hoops, or bitch slapping John Boehner.

  57. SayItWithWookies says at 4:02 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    Custerwolf: See, that’s why I said clamshell — I knew someone with a dirty mind would be tempted to say that. Besides, K-Lo’s fallow clam is probably tiny, having only been penetrated by the slim brass crucifix hanging over her bed.

  58. Custerwolf says at 4:22 pm, April 23rd, 2009

    SayItWithWookies: ewwwww…..
