As you might have noticed, I poached this from my earlier blog post. A number of people were linking to it (thanks!), so I figured I may as well turn it into a cartoon. Instead of using "Republicans" and "Democrats," I decided to use the symbolic "Party A" and "Party B" to make it more of a parable.

To add to what I said earlier, isn't it remarkable how the same administration could be perceived as flaccid, milquetoast wimps by progressives and the second coming of the Third Reich by the teabaggers? That's what Obama's efforts at "bipartisanship" have wrought. It's time to drop that fantasy and start articulating a clear vision. Judging from what I've heard about the State of the Union address, however, I think we're in for more mush.
