Cartoonists treading lightly when drawing Obama
- Text size
JESSE WASHINGTON
Associated Press
February 20, 2009
Cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz was in front of a classroom full of black and Latino kids, drawing presidents. He sketched Bush, then Clinton. Next came his favorite, the man he voted for: Obama.
“Hey, those lips are big,” Alcaraz heard a black girl say from the back of the room.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Alcaraz was disturbed. “I try to bend over backwards not to make him look like a cartoon stereotype,” and certainly not a racial stereotype, he said.
Editorial cartoonists are bending over backwards a lot these days, as they try to satirize the nation’s first black president. And when they don’t, the result is the kind of outcry that erupted this week after a New York Post cartoon featured a bloody chimpanzee—intentionally or unintentionally evoking racist images of the past.
The problem is, cartoonists make their living by making fun of people—especially presidents—and exaggerating their features and foibles.
The best political cartoons are “like an X-ray machine,” said Amelia Rauser, an art history professor at Franklin & Marshall College and author of “Caricature Unmasked,” which examines the art form’s historical role in political discourse.
“You have to deform someone facially in order to make a larger point about their character,” Rauser said. “But that deformity reveals their inner truth and makes them look more like themselves.”
The late Herblock often saddled Richard Nixon with an enormous cartoon nose. Liberals drew George W. Bush like a simpleton, or worse. There have been minor kerfluffles from the left about drawing Hillary Clinton as insufficiently feminine, and from the right about depicting Condoleeza Rice as servile to President Bush.
Drawings of President Barack Obama, however, must contend with America’s history of degrading racial imagery, from ape comparisons to enormous “Sambo” lips. (Caricatures of the president’s admittedly large ears have so far escaped scrutiny.)
Michael Cavna, who blogs about comics for The Washington Post, wrote that “an unnerving number of North America’s political cartoonists are bizarrely obsessed with President Obama’s lips.” He followed with a detailed analysis of several cartoons where Obama’s lips were large, some shade of blue, or both.

Why don’t you try exposing the bastards who are destroying our country and the world, instead? I think that would be more productive, instead of being a traitor to those who are trying to stop the NWO.

What are you talking about? I haven’t seen what you are saying at all. It could have been a site error. If you don’t like Alex Jones, just go somewhere else where this information is available. It’s not like AJ is the only one who is aware of this. Start your own movement against the NWO if you don’t like ones that already exist. You’ll be doing a lot more productive things in doing that than complaining like a little bitch on internet forums, or wasting your time on papers about certain people in the movement that you believe have done you wrong.

No need to worry about that here. They will let you say any dumbass thing you want here. You just have to deal with people telling you that you are a bad headed, callous back, switch hittin fuck stick here!
You can even pick and choose which insults you want to be offended by! That’s FREEDOM, dick head!
I don’t usually use language like that here but, it’s just getting too difficult to present logical, intelligent, researched data to idiots who can’t understand anything more difficult than a phone number(without area code)!
Obviously, I have made an exception in your case!
If collecting information and examples for a paper exposing the hypocrisy,censorship, and self-righteousness, study your gubment!

Haha no kidding! SO what? Asians are short and a lot of older asians don’t drive very well? So what? There are a lot of Lawyers that are Jews and we have big noses and curly hair. So what? Who freaking cares. Why is it a bad thing that black folks have curly hair big lips and wide noses? When did that become something that’s horrible? Did I miss a meeting somewhere? I don’t get society. We should enjoy our minor physical differences and quirks. We should learn to laugh at ourselves and at each other. Then, racism will cease to exist. Stereotyping doesn’t have to be a terrible thing. It’s all in the intention.

This is today and our banks,
NATIONALISED BANKS ARE HERE
see how it works, below
Since the nationalised industries are state owned, the government is responsible for meeting any debts incurred by these industries. The nationalized industries do not normally borrow from the domestic market other than for short-term borrowing.
Nationalization may occur with or without compensation to the former owners. If it takes place without compensation it is a case of expropriation. Nationalization is distinguished from property redistribution in that the government retains control of nationalized property. Some nationalizations take place when a government seizes property acquired illegally. For example, the French government seized the car-makers Renault because its owners had collaborated with the Nazi occupiers of France.

not just the cartoons but comedy in general treads lightly on Obama, if at all. Letterman has figured out McCain Palin and Bush jokes are growing wearsome and unfunny so he has went back to the Clinton bashing.
As a former stand up comedian myself, I am hoping someone grows a set and starts Obama bashing soon. It has always been a long standing American tradition of getting a good laugh off the president.

Gosh I wonder who is pushing the levers and pulling the strings? Laws are being passed, the media owns most Americans, connect the dots already. If we are going to really get “the empire on the run” we need to have an adult conversation about the roles of some groups and what they have done. Alex exposes roles in 9-11, but the gloves must come off.

The Bible has prophesied many things some thousands of years before it happened. Never wrong.
The Bible predicted 7 empires before they happened. Now one empire the eigth King is to arize. The beast . The mark is on the back of the dollar bill however worshiping the beast must accompany it. God will OPPOSE the beast, those who worship and follow the eigth kingdom. He will be on our side. He will provide a way. Pray The right hand of the Father sits Jesus Christ. It is the most powerful position in the Universe. Jesus ever lives to make interssetion. God Bless everyone. I am for you. Let us unite in His Name. A peaceful Kingdom for all.

If we drew cartoons of Obama which paint him in his real likeness, they would be banned for immorality, crudeness, criminality, and wantonness. This is because the man is PURE EVIL SCUM! He is NOT A LEADER and definitely NOT A ROLE MODEL! Heck, HE ISN’T EVEN A REAL PRESIDENT ACCORDING TO OUR CONSTITUTION! And we though Bush was bad?? WAKE UP AMERICA, YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET! Impeachment would only be the first step in the right direction! Then a mass Christian revival of America. Perhaps then the people would be able to get over their government created delusions of false “love, peace, justice” and find the true meaning of love, which is the Love of Jesus. Those who say it is our Christian duty to submit to this tyrant most likely do not even know who God is! How can we submit any longer to a person who sees nothing wrong with the killing of unborn children as well as the enslavement of an entire nation through engineered financial meltdown? How can we follow a man who is not a Christian role model, will not pray to God for the country, and who was sworn into the senate years ago on a copy of the despicable and false Koran! How can we trust a man who made promises to his future followers only months earlier, and now breaks them in a whirlwind of lies and deceit? How can the wise and righteous of this land sheepishly bow down to this man in a crazed and trance like worship as so many fools have already done?? Why won’t people wake up and see this tyrant for who he truly is and oppose him? If the people of this country continue in such a downward spiral, then the worst parts of the Bible will surely come to pass in a very short time. Maybe then and only then will the people of this nation repent. When it is too late?? Not if we reach them for Christ first! He is the ONLY WAY!

This reminds me of the Dutch newspaper that took heat for cartoons of Mohammad and few years ago. The corporate media has done more than anyone to hype Obama as a Christ-like figure.

We could save a lot of space and time if everyone would stay focused on the real issues here. Our Country is in a shambles and the founding fathers are no doubt rolling over in their graves because we, and I emphasize WE, have let our elected officials at all levels get away with enslaving us. It’s time we stop arduing on this website over stupid shit and focus on how we can get our Republic back. One thing that’s important-we do not have Constitutional rights, they come from GOD. The Constitution was drawn up to bind the government and hold them in line. The polititions and crooked judges have slowly turned against we the people. It’s kinda like a shark taking a big bite out of you and you’d notice right away. But these guys have taken little bites at a time but the end result is our leg is still missing. The point is that this madness must stop and it’s up to us to DEMAND our elected officials to get back in line or else all hell’s gonna break out. That’s our main concern here plain and simple. So let’s stop acting like children and take responsibility and stop digging each other. It won’t help us a bit to correct this long stream of abuses. Start standing up for your rights and let em know your an American and you don’t take it lightly when someone steps on those rights. We’re not black, whit, or green, WE’RE AMERICANS

Interesting or not, further in the original article you run across this sentence: “The newspaper apologized “to those who were offended” after 200 protecters picketed the Post offices on Thursday.” That’s an exact cut and paste. Anyone find it peculiar that the word protesters had the ’s’ replaced with a ‘c’? Someone’s Freudian slip showing, maybe? Things that make you say “Whaaat?”…

The guy who made that cartoon something is wrong with him/her. If the person is black or white, portrait the person as he/she is. Everyone knows he is not white. So, make the portrait black. I do not know what was behind of his objective. Perhaps, the person is not happy that Obama is black, or the person wants to portrait that there is no difference either black or white. Either way, it should have been shown Obama the way he is: black.

HEY, SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF OUR TROOPS…OBAMA NEVER IS OR WAS THE SOLUTION. BRAINLESS FOLKS THOUGHT THAT HE WAS/IS. THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. WE MAY HAVE A LITTLE BREAK ON THE ECONOMY BUT IT IS NOT FOR LONG BECAUSE THE FEDERAL RESERVE HAS TO GO, WE MUST GET RID OF THAT THING IN ORDER TO HAVE A GOOD ECONOMIC THAT WOULD WORK FOR EVERYONE…..

THE BEST TO SOLVE THE COUNTRY’S PROBLEM IS TO TELL THOSE RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS TO STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM POLITICS….SOME FOLKS LIKE TO SAY THAT OUR FOREFATHERS WERE CHRISTIANS, THAT IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE, THAT S A BIG LIE. THEY WERE NOT. SO, LET US STAY AWAY FROM RELIGION AND FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS COUNTRY WHO IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN DAY BY DAY.
AND YOU ARE ASKING YOURSELVES, WHY OBAMA IS BREAKING HIS PROMISES? WELL, THE ANSWER IS CLEAR: HE WAS NEVER FOR THE PEOPLE. HE HAS AN AGENDA. HE IS IN POWER NOW AND HE WILL PURSUE HIS AGENDA. HE IS A PUPPET, SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? LOL…COME ON NOW, BE REALISTIC….DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT OBAMA HAS THE REAL POWER TO FIX THE ECONOMY, BRING OUR TROOPS HOME, FIX HEALTH CARE, FIX EDUCATION? LOL,,, YOU MUST BE KIDDING. HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY POWER. LOOK, THE ONLY WAY THE PRESIDENT CAN DO SUCH THINGS, ONLY AND ONLY IF WE (THE PEOPLE) ASK FOR IT…..WE NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THEY SAID THAT S WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. SO, WHEN THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR WAY OF THINKING, WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY BECAUSE WE NEVER ASK TO FIX OUR HEALTHCARE THE WAY WE WANT THEM TO.
REMEMBER, THEY HAVE PLANS FOR US. THAT S NOT OUR PLAN. LOL…THEY CAN CHANGE IT, MODIFY IT, ANYTIME THEY WANT TO. WE HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
IF HOWEVER, THE PLAN WAS A REFERENDUM, THEN WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE IT. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEVER HAVE A PLAN, NEVER, NEVER. ,,,,,THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY IS TO MAKE ‘OUR’ OWN PLAN ABOUT THE ECONOMY, HEALTHCARE, BANKING, THE ARMY, ETC. MANNNNN WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE.

I’m white btw. Just don’t see myself as the white race of whatever. Get out of your fabricated reality and stop thinking in race terms. Welcome in the 21th century!

I haven’t seen any mainstream cartoonist draw the new New World Order puppet-in-chief properly as Dees does (Dees2.com) He puts the puppet strings on him.

This one isn’t by Dees but is also good- wwwDOTblackcommentator.com/281/281_images/281_cartoon_obama_puppet_hurwitt_large.gif
When ya think about it, all presidents should be drawn with big lips since they all to a man have consistantly KISSED the a$$es of Rockefeller and the global elite bigime!

I checked out Dees2.com his art is good and I like some of the content but overall the guy seems like a NAZI if you ask me.

Perhaps race relations would improve, Lester said, if black people lightened up a bit: “They’re not too good (at being) made fun of. We can all take a joke.”
Tell Oscar Grant to lighten up. And while you’re at it tell MLK, Malcom X, and Fred Hampton to lighten up… Tell my friend who gets asked “is this your car” almost every time he gets pulled over. Tell the disproportionately large numbers of black people living in poverty or in jail or that get stopped and frisked in NYC to lighten up.
I’m just trying to point out that there are good reasons why the black community might be upset.
All the New York Post would have to do is say “we’re sorry we didn’t recognize that this was offensive nor was it intended to be” but instead they started attacking Al Sharpton.
Lastly a fairly unimportant piece of trivia: Chimps are just as evolved as humans, we didn’t evolve FROM them. We do share the closest common ancestor.

Don’t be angry at the cartoonist. Just accept you’ve been fooled by Obama and move on.
February 21st, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Fuck Obama, that Nwo globalist shit face!!

Obama should be drawn like the puppet he is – a Marxist Uncle Tom on a string, cleverly manipulated by his chief handler – Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Now THAT would make a great editorial cartoon.
Of course, the artist would immediately be fired and Obama’s adoring supporters in the Muslim world would proclaim a fatwah demanding the death of the infidel who dared to depict the “messiah” in that manner.
It’s all a sick joke, anyway. Obama is a fraud that has been foisted on the American Sheeple. He isn’t the president – he’s an abomination and a usurper:

Slickwilly-meister was our first black president. Congressional black caucus of leftist bobble heads declared this to be a natural fact! Bamo is our first MOB president.

Coward when it comes to race or keep my job?
Coward when it comes to race or keep my job?
I think I’ll keep my job.
What does that make me? You got it: A coward when it comes to race. This whole thing is welled planned to try to get people to talk “more honestly” about race…so they can fire you.

just give him the biggest fucking pinocchio nose you can muster. ’nuff said.

If blacks think this cartoon was racist, they themselves must equate themselves to apes in some way.
I don’t think the cartoonist intended this to be racist, but a comparison of his intelligence to that of a monkey.

Consider for a moment if you met Obama when you went to
a Toyota dealer to buy a new car, and he was the salesman.
Forget for a second how we know he’s the devil incarnate…
if you met him or his woman in a store or somesuch, they
would appear to be nice, average people.
THAT is our problem, because a whole hell of a lot of busy,
ill-informed citizens are duped into thinking Obama’s a
nice guy “with their interests at heart”.
Can’t wait for “Obama Deception” to come out. We’re
gonna spread those around like ugly on an ape.
(Ooops, sorry again primates).

He has that Grinch like look with those deep lines from nose to mouth. And Michelle’s face has that dwawf kind of look except she is very tall but both could be easily exaggerated as a Dr. Suess character. Put a giant acorn hat on her head. Overly accentuate Obama’s giant ears and glassy eyes. Have him with a giant cigarette hanging out of thin purple lips. Draw Rahm Immanuel missing his finger with crater sized dark circles beneath his eyes and a slightly sharkish smirk for his mouth and teeth. Put Nancy Pelosi between them with giant buggy eyes and giant lips and square teeth as she dances in a flapper dress. Have John McCain white, pastey w/a turtle like face off in a corner alone playing “jacks” with Rahm Immanuel’s finger. The finger should not be normal, but talon like. In the background, add Larry Sinclair looking over his shoulder in fear with the caption saying ” but I’ve just made friends with Pastor Wright, so we’re cool…right?” Meanwhile Pastor Wright is mistaken for a white man except for that flamboyant shirt he’s wearing…

Now that’s just odd. I corrected my spelling and added a couple of other things but it went through instantly and without the changes. Weird.
