A change on Obama

Share
Joel Pett is the Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist of the Lexington Herald-Leader. His work also appears in USA Today.

A while back, I wrote that cartoonists were giving Barack Obama a pass while blistering Hillary Clinton. Well, we don’t have her to kick around anymore, so enter the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, stage left-of-center. Nick Anderson headed where headwear took him. Chip Bok made Obama look like a fossil fool over taxes, and Mike Lester made the “change” candidate publicly pay for a change of heart. I like Lester’s added visual taunt -- a cigarette, an addiction the senator is said to struggle with. Smokin’!
