JFK looks conflicted. standing in a group of mostly 'good presidents', but clearly tempted by Obama.
conversely, W., tho positioned right at the edge of the Clinton/Obama/Roosevelt axis of evil, looks particularly concerned about the sad man, and perhaps eager to redeem himself.

Racism? You guys are nuts -- it's obviously a lesson in how to behave. Although the blonde looks like she's a shoo-in for the spot at "College", she ends up being passed over because she's obviously an angry shrew who'll cause no end of grief -- so the spot goes to the docile-looking lady instead.There's likely some comment on patriarchal institutions as well.

New cognitive dissonance. OWS protests are violent and disruptive unlike right wing protests who know buying their favorite brand is the right way to do it. Unless that brand is Starbucks. Also, violence should be celebrated if it's seen as for a right wing cause.

Plus mixed in with a little "if global warms why iz it snows?" type thinking - - - I mean, I would imagine mass shootings happen in "gun free zones" because these zones tend to be public places where masses can be found.
Also betrays a total disinterest in day-to-day gun violence (ie what the gun-free zones are interested in), which is widespread and lends itself to being understood structurally, in favor of isolated episodes of media interest, which lend themselves to being understood anecdotally, getting inside the killer's twisted mind, etc. etc.

see what's funny to me about that is that you could read it as a triumphant---smug, even---liberal cartoon, and definitely as a disappointed rightwing smdh @ u romney piece
"romney's been getting hit really hard on the issue of 'being a nice person' and guess what? he doesn't have any knucks of his own! why don't you have them, dude??"
doubly funny is how confusing the whole dumb metaphor is: brass knuckles = dirty chicago politics, fine, but "taking the gloves off" usually means "let's REALLY get into it, none of this padded gloves garbage"
and maybe "really getting into it" is like let's go MAN to MAN on the ISSUES, but here it could be an appeal to really dig up more half-assed birth certificate friends with terrorists bullshit on obama, i dunno. or maybe it just means "romney's ready to quit."
so, is Obama winning in a fight that should end, because he's cheating, so we can go back to talking about the issues? or is it time to take the gloves off so the people can see a REAL fight, with blood and guts? or is Romney losing at something he literally does not know how to do (cannot do, because he's gotta be nice), and now wants to quit?
