Cartoon: Roman Polanski's Get Away With Child Rape Kit
I'm wondering your overall view of Obama's first year in office?
There doesn't seem to be much change to me -- same war on civil liberties, same wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, same unsustainable budget deficits, same record spending.
I ask because I notice your cartoons don't address this lack of change -- you deplored Bush (as I did), yet this president doesn't offer much different -- whether in foreign policy abroad or civil liberties at home.
I have made comments and done some cartoons about my disappointments with Obama--no, I haven't focused on it a lot, but that's not from silent approval, more just from being fed up and bummed out with what he's been doing.

Congratulations on your baby.
