I know of an Israeli group that does the same thing - work to give women the financial assistance they need so they can afford to keep the baby.

Homophobic, Transphobic & Ethnibigoted! Is that weird monkey-creature-looking-thing supposed to be a BLACK MAN?

It's Bi-Curious George, well known supporter of the gay agenda.

Yes.  Too much red tape is holding back the economy.  Even though too much deregulation of the banking industry caused it.  Obviously the only solution is more deregulation.

Not really political, but meh, where else am I going to put this :P

You could have put in best cartoon thread, since it's great cartoon, though sad.

I have no idea.  I imagine it was of Obama holding/attending a memorial service.  You know, the sort of thing a President does on occasions like this.
On the other hand, it could be completely made up, it's hard to tell with these right wing propagandists :(

It's also intensely ironic, considering how much Republicans grandstand.

(That's not to say that democrats don't grandstand)

The photo was of Obama, apparently having just got off of Marine One on a clear night, looking up at the moon.


I do agree that, without any context, that does look a bit self aggrandizing. However, here's an excerpt from the Armstrong Family's official statement:
Quote
For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.

In context, Obama posted a photo of himself doing exactly what Neil's family asked all of us to do as memorial.

I just looks like a standard publicity shot to me.  A little arty, but not too far out of the ordinary.
Without the context though, I wouldn't have made the connection.

It's attached to a blog post memorializing Neil, so it wasn't meant to stand alone.

I don't think anyone claims that fetuses aren't human, dude. They might claim they are not a person, but that's a different matter. Whereas a person on welfare is quite clearly a person. And a person on welfare isn't living in someone else's body either. So basically, comparison fail.

Plus, this one really brings out the conservative agenda of "I'm all for life, until the bastard's born".
