Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for September 08, 2009

Awww; Broomie, let’s not be hasty about this. He may some day be “rehabilitated” by historians!

Don’t be so hasty, Broomie, it’s still a collector’s item.. He was so unpopular that no one actually wanted his autograph.

So you were here in the New World then. I was wondering!

I thought that was Ulysses S. Grant - I guess I learned something new!

I vote for GWB.

In the worst President of all time Olympics, I would give Reagan the gold, Warren Harding the silver, and the Bush baby the bronze.

Obviously this cartoon predates the administration before Obama.

Heck, Obama has only been in office for only 7 months and he already gets the Gold for being the worst. Carter is a close second………………..

Maybe Obama will follow in Jimmy’s footsteps and try to make up for his presidency be becoming a decent diplomat

Careful, who determines whom is the worst???????

For me, it’s a tie between Andrew Jackson (Trail of Tears), and Franklin Roosevelt.

Jackson forcibly removed American citizens (productive, assimilated, and educated ones at that) from their homes and property for no reason other their ancestry, and with no constitutional authority to do so (when confronted by the courts, Jackson said, paraphrased, “You and what army is gonna stop me?”). My stomach churns just talking about the injustice of it.

Roosevelt in a similar nose thumbing at the Constitution, defied non-stop court orders to create federal programs that feed an “entitlement mentality” to this day. (And no, they didn’t help end the depression.) He created the very monster the Founding Fathers sought to protect us from. (The programs could have been constitutionally implemented by the state governments.) My stomach churns every time I am forced to pay into the Ponzai scheme known as Social “Security”. A private citizen would be jailed for such a scheme.

It’s a shame that yet another comic strip has given our present ‘hating’ generation another outlet for vituperation, along with the “Town Meetings”. Ad hominem attacks are the lowest form of criticism, In 1860, Buchanan was disliked, but Lincoln was hated.

Dont blame me, I dont vote !!!!! Now back to enjoying the cartoons.

dzrt, I’m with you. I do vote, but “now back to enjoying the cartoons”.

Stuart, you forgot about that little “internment camp” thing that FDR did with American citizens of Asian ancestry as well. Same as Jackson did with Native Americans, only for his victims, there were fences all around their new digs, and guards as well, and they never even got casinos out of the deal.

Jimmy B is on my family tree broomie, let him rest

Jimmy Carter was the best President I didn’t vote for. Obama was looking like he might be second, but not sure now.

I would put Obama gold, Bush, silver and clinton scandel bronze
