    I think a far better author drew these than did the Obama one

    In reference to our leaders, I find Americans, especially stars, going to another country and defaming our president (Bush or Obama) to be more offensive. There's something to be said for unity I think.

    I agree. The artist is much better. I also agree with the rest of what you say.

    That's funny. In the UK it seems most of us are complaining to anyone who will listen about our PM. Even those normally faithful to the party he leads cannot stand the man and how he's running the country.

    I guess in this sense, unity is achieved by denouncing the man.

    I would rather people were honest about their views. Showing support or indifference toward something you disagree with, in my opinion, is wrong.

    There is something to be said for unity, and I suspect those who don't hold your current president in high regard unite as strongly as those who do. I also suspect they would unite under the umbrella of doing what they believe is best for their country, and it is simply their attitudes of what is best that differ.

    Anyway, no, I don't find them offensive.

    I voted that these are not offensive. It is what it is. A person's view of how he sees one individual.

    I just happen to agree with the last image of him with the pentagram pin. Sorta like the "Family Guy" episode that liked the McCain/Palin campaign to the Nazi party. That was funny.

    Again voted "yes"

    This sort of thing really just name-calling and as such is simply not useful.

    All are political expression, clearly covered by the first ammendment. I may disagree with some and agree with others, but the fact that I disagree with something does not make it offensive to me, I may consider the author misguided, stupid, or misinformed, but these how can I be offended by the opinions of someone that I neither know or care about.
