Found Art: Dear Leader Addresses the Children
by Doug TenNapelTomorrow President Obama will address our children and students will be encouraged to write his inspirational sayings on sticky notes and homemade posters. My daughter’s class loves the Chairman President so much that they couldn’t wait to get right to work on their posters.
Here’s a glimpse of what they’re working on:

On 9/8, along with Obama's address to school kids, it would be a great time for him to release his school records – the courses he took, the grades he made and the papers he wrote. He could also thank whomever paid for his education.
President Obama speaking to our children? Bill Ayres will be proud. Sounds to me like there ought to be millions of unexcused absentees.
Boy, is this stuff childish.
The dumb is strong with this one.
Check it out—> http://www.hallpassonthat.com/
I've actually seen this type of humor/satire on Conan O'Brian when he was on after Leno. Some of that material wasn't as amusing. Maybe Doug can post more "artwork" after the childrens' address. They might get some NEA grant money..oh wait…that's for those that support the administration…never mind. Enjoy your Labor Day everyone!
Why not turn this into a learning moment? Every concerned parent should break out Animal Farm and 1984 and introduce the kids to George Orwell and his take on totalitarianism, and the parellels evident in the Pledge myself to Obama movement.
A Democrat would know.
Made my day. Funny!!
That is some funny stuff right there.
it reminds me of this (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=i... not for the overly sensitive but really funny.
Love it, Doug!
This should be a book. Very very funny.
Carlos deserves a cookie, hell maybe even his very own flat screen tv, for capturing the lefts view of Obama so perfectly.
As for it being childish? No child can be as good at drawing as Pia Guerra, Adrian Alphona, Steve Ditko or Mike Choi (comic book nerd alert! Y the Last Man, Runaways, Mr. A, X-Force respectively) so dont rain on the childrens parade.

Are you threatened by that Joe?
You would know!
Excellent, Doug! LOL.
— ReaderRedux, age …(ahem…muffle…cough)
HAHhaaaa very clever. The crayon cartoons , can I have some more please…
He wants our school kids to help him like the Red Guard helped Chairman Mao.
Those are as good as any I've ever seen.
I love that idea.
LOL! "Hi, me!"
Now that was good…something tells me kids aren't going to buy whatever is being sold.
It's called having a laugh.
I was going to keep my daughter home from second grade but then I read the speech. She'd love a good nap in the middle of the day.
Yes, Joe, yes it is. I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it was written by CHILDREN.
Out of the mouths of babes…
Well I suspect that they were in fact drawn by adults.
Yea, maybe if you're mentally challenged.
I'm not a democrat, I'm not even american.
Not at all
I'm not a democrat. I'm not even american
That's the response I'd expect if one didn't 'get' the humor. Must be a cultural thing-after all few of us find humor from other cultures amusing.
Darn funny. But didn´t Obama say in his inauguration speech that it´s time to put away childish things?
I don't know any children who draw their "e"s backwards. Or how many 7 year olds know who Dr. Kavorkian is. So lets not kid ourselves. This was drawn by adults.
Still well done. Funny stuff.
I like the elephant, but where's the donkey?????? : D
I can tell.
My son is homeschooled. My nephew goes to year-round school and is out for the next few months. I only wish my niece didn't have to go into tomorrow for the indoctrination lesson, but I imagine there is plenty of it going on the rest of the school year as well. My nephew was actually really, really excited when he misunderstood & thought that Obama was coming to his school. Considering everyone in the family are conservatives he is being taught to have warm & fuzzy feelings for Obama at school.

Duh!!
"Help! I'm being punished with a baby!"
Aside from being wryly funny, this illustrates a strange inconsistency with the humanist left: in embracing the notion that someone is "punished with a baby," they've invented a wholly independent notion of Original Sin.
i have grandchildren in school and i do not want this guy speaking to them, we turn him off on tv, ever time he reads his prompter, i can not stand to hear his lies and the way he rubs it in america;s face, and to believe that some people still fall all over him yet, come on people think about your children in obamas army, will you be proud?
So Joe, you need to be mentally challenged to laugh at this?
Of coarse not, of coarse not, of coarse not. Damn Joe once is enough
Do your Sherlock Holmes detective acumen tell you these things?
Did you hear the kids in Broward County, Florida are being forced to attend?
If their parents keep them home, they'll be punished when they return.
Der Feuhrer's HitlerJugend speeches are mandatory!
That would make you Less than Average Joe.
You'll have to excuse him folks.
Like most Democrats, he failed Kindergarten several times.
Got as far as the "Find the Whole Point" exam and choked.
Common Joe, your only offense to these drawings is to how true they really are. Especially the last one on abortion in which Obama said in a campaign speech that he "didn't want his daughters being punished with a baby". That's priceless!
How does that famous saying go "from the mouths of babes". Which means that children sometimes speak, in their simplicity, more wisely than their elders. Lighten up dude!
[...] Hee! [...]
Ditko is one of the greats.
Joe Biden, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's have a round of applause.
Okay, well, at least stop throwing stuff, then.
Fine.
Be that way.
Ahbama is in trouble becaue the masses that slept walked into the voting booth are paying atrtention now and regretting their decision.

Carlos is easily the best political cartoonist I have seen in some time.
You guys are treating the president of the United States like a sex offender. Classy.
No, the drawings are just lame, that's all. Nothing clever about them.
No, more like a half-wit, so yuck it up guys!
Where the Hell did you get these pictures?
Well I don't think a 7 year old would be referencing Michaelangelo like in the first one. I don't think many 7 year olds know who Kevorkian is much less how to spell his name, things like that. Really obvious things which is what makes it so stupid. Either kids drew them and were coached by adults or adults drew them and made them look like kids drawings. That's why it's so lame.
So…how much of your day are you planning to spend sitting here and telling us how lame and unfunny we are? Move on.
And, yes, they were drawn by an adult. Duh.
Look at that…deductive logic. How cute.
Now you're just embarrassing yourself. What country are you from, anyway? I hope for your sake you're ESL. Sometimes humor just doesn't translate well across language boundaries.
President Obama speaking to our children? Bill Ayres will be proud. Sounds to me like there ought to be millions of unexcused absentees. One sided political view in classrooms= Indoctrination.
Why not? I knew who those guys were at age 7, and how to spell their names (okay, the first one came from watching a lot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but still…). Maybe these are a few child prodigies who did some really good art. Or maybe they showed them to adults as rough drafts and the adults didn't try to discourage them, they just helped them on the spelling. Out of the realm of possibility? I don't think so. If you actually were an average Joe, you wouldn't have to have that explained to you.
As one of millions of lame people out there, I am thoroughly offended by Joe's comments. I'd find a way of explaining how offended I am, but I can't really think of anything, so…Joe's lame.
Well there are some people in the comments that… uh… hadn't caught on.

Hey Barack, I… I… mean "Average Joe" (wink, wink) shouldn't you be spending the day with your daughters if you're not going to be working on fixing our country. Go do something productive will ya!
If I were living in Broward County, FL, I would point out the CDC directives regarding H1N1 exposures. And make the state and the feds fight it out…
Sometimes, it helps to use one foolish recommendation fight another…
Seconded!
Have her come by your home for a little homeschool. She'll be the better for it.
I thought so, but hey, I didn't decide to walk into this…he did.
Kind of like Van Jones…
That's what we call multi-tasking, my friend.
That’s good stuff Doug, I like it, funny! Hey maybe they can get a grant from Barry and the NEA?
I'm Canadian and what's ESL?
the only reason I felt I had to point out that they weren't drawn by children is because T-Rav seems to be under the impression that they were.
Average Joe is an above average doofus.
English as a second language. You aren't French, by any chance? That would explain the lack of a sense of humor.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious, too, until I read some of the comments. I don't think they were paying close attention. LOL!
Well, my sister-in-law probably wouldn't let her do that. She's a big Obama fan. But wouldn't you be if you were receiving: WIC, food stamps, Medicaid, and supplements for afterschool care (was getting supplements for daycare until my niece started Kindergarten a few weeks ago) & housing. And don't leave out that taxpayers have paid for her to go to nursing school not once but TWICE. She was too lazy to study for the state exam and failed the first time. So they paid for to take the course the 2nd time. But I love my niece and tolerate to the best of my abilities her mother.
How has SIL been rewarded for her irresponsibility? Well, my mother-in-law and husband's stepdad just bought her a house.
ABC news showed archival footage of your horribly failed leader — Boy Geroge Bush — doing exactly the same thing; pitcing to and listenig to schoolchildren!
And Obama – our greatest US president EVER – was not handed nearly as much inherited problems as your drunk fool Bush and his corrupt war criminals.
Yet let's watch you twist away – spin spin spin – it's all the GOP does!
You zombiesnever offer any solutions, just Republican bedwetting 24/7.

I don't think most people (maybe I should just speak for myself) objected to President Obama speaking to the kids. It was the proposed "lessons" that went along with the lesson: i.e., draw pictures to show how you are inspired by Obama, etc. I don't think that would go over well with anybody in office.

Just substitute George W. Bush in this scenario and ask yourself if people might object to the lessons.

No I'm not French but I know some pretty funny Frenchmen and I have a sense of humor if something is funny. For instance Buckwheat Picard recommended this site
http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=i...
And I thought there was some pretty funny stuff on there.
But the same old criticisms of Obama done to fake kids drawings, not so funny.
Oh well maybe next time.
That’s the least of our worries with Barry. The sex offender was Clinton.
I know, I've I've already printed these puppies out, and displayed them in my office.
Why would you give someone -5 just for clarifying a plain fact about himself? Come on. If you want outsiders to take you seriously, throw us a bone here at least.
If you ask me, this is scary stuff. Kids shouldn't be kept ignorant but being brainwashed one way or another at an early age is frightening.
This is one of the reasons why religion scares me – though of course pushing any one worldview on a child is insane since they can't possibly understand at the age most begin indoctrinating. Even Richard Dawkins says it's nonsense to talk as a child as an "Atheist Child" anymore than it is a "Christian Child". They're not really yet in a position to make such judgements about the nature of the universe. Nor are they on politics or health care…
Whoops, "just as it is" rather than anymore than it is.
That's the worst fucking comeback I've ever heard. You managed to meet an inane insult with an even more inane retort. Well done.
Kids only regurgitate what people around them tell them… it's not some stroke of insight from an innocent mind, it's just a bunch of kids who've been lectured into a point of view they don't understand.
But kids don't know about any of this, nor should they at that age. I thought that's one thing at least Conservatives would agree with me on over some liberals. As it stands, these partisan issues mostly only affect adults. Do you really want to extend this nonsense to children too? It's not how I would bring up my kids anyway. My politics are my business, and while I would certainly like to influence people to change their mind, I wouldn't take advantage of someone too young to understand.
Again, it's not a case of an innocent stroke of insight from a simple mind(though I'm sure this gives many anti-intellectuals hope their world view is still relevant), it's a case of them just churning out what their parents have essentially programmed into them.
Do you really think these kids are following the news and are able to spot such "obvious flaws"? In something as complicated as healthcare, there are very few "Obvious flaws".
It is frightening and offensive because the only way these kids came to these conclusions was through influence from parents or similar figures. You'd have a hard time proving that the kids came to this on their own. Is this really how you want to bring up the next generation, a bunch of partisan, paranoid dopes?
Well, what's wrong with deductive logic?
Given you went straight for a red herring attack I doubt you care much about "Logic" anyway. And before you come with some ridiculous comeback as to how I'm in fact the illogical one, please read up on what logic actually is. It's not a buzzword. Sidelining an argument, trying to use his country of origin against him is a red herring argument.
Wow, racism. I find it amusing how people on this blog proport to be individualist while holding such viewpoints.
It's certainly true many French people can be a bit stuck up compared to other cultures. However, this is also very true with smugness and american conservatives… we can make all kinds of generalisations which are just as true or more true than that.
France is definitely a more productive culture though, partly because they actually teach debate in schools. If you're American and he's French, chances are on law of averages you wouldn't be as good at discussing and understanding issues. No racism there, it's just a flaw in your education system that needs to be fixed.
I think the name is meant to be tounge in cheek to begin with…
I'm sorry, you're talking about indoctrination? Because the religious right never does that? You bring your kids up to be the same religion as you. Like it or not that's indoctrination, and statistics show they're unlikely to make their own decision as adults.
God forbid they make up their own mind instead?
Because YOU cannot stand to hear his "Lies", your kids shouldn't either?
And I thought from the OP, it was implied kids were more than able to make up their mind about everything… I think there's a little inconsistancy here.
Either way you're complaining about brainwashing when you're doing the same thing yourself.
