(47,953 posts)2. Too many cartoonists are lazily taking the low road on the private sector comment
Oliphant is just the latest. I have found it hard to find any cartoonist who doesn't take the easy route out and accepting the RW meme of Obama being out of touch. Kinda sad.

I think Oliphant's window cleaning metaphor is just too laborious. I weeded out the really wrong one's on the topic as I'm sure you notice.
I have been surprised how many normally liberal cartoonists have fallen for that meme, though.
