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.

TR is borderline - you'd think they'd like his somehwat tough-talking bent but he's too associated with progressivism here, which as everybody knows, is merely the first step down the path to communism.

I may be the last person to learn this but I only found out last night that Littlejohn lives in a gated community in Florida and gets all his hysterical hell-in-handcart stuff from an ocean away. If you read about a columnist in a novel who did that you'd think it was very clumsy satire.

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?
