Cartoon Drawings of President Barack Obama

By Alan Smithee

Have you noticed that there aren't any really good cartoon drawings of President Barack Obama? If you have one, please send it to us. I looked around and the illustration at right is the one I like best.

Why do you think illustrators are having trouble 'capturing' President Obama? I noticed this same problem during the campaign. I mean he has the ears. And clearly his head is a bit big. And the lips that are darker than his face color.

Maybe cartoonists are afraid of offending blacks. Or President Obama with caricatures. There are rumblings that President Obama does not like criticism. Regardless, the illustrations are not very good. Google President Obama cartoon images and see what you come up with.

Help us out here. Send GOOD illustrations of President Obama.
