Not really surprising. After he voted for the stimulus package, his own party was howling for his blood.

!

From what I've read, now much depends on
that disputed election for the US senate seat
from Minnesota.

The last recount I heard suggests Al Franken,
a stand-up comic by trade and a Democrat by affiliation,
has a 312-vote lead over Republican candidate
Norm Coleman. That case is still before the courts.

If Franken wins, that would give the Democrats and
their allies in the US Senate 60 seats--enough to end
any Republican filibuster.

BTW, could you try re-posting those images, cognito?
They didn't show up the first time.

cogito, I think for the last one, you meant
cartoon 15 in that series. But I see
your point: Republicans are trying to
hold Obama to impossible, even magical
expectations about what he can or should
do during his Presidency.
