One of the last shreds of presidential honesty said: "The buck stops here."

Barry, because Barry is president and Barry is ultimately responsible for what his government does. The fact that what he says in the toon is a pretty good paraphrase of official Whitehouse press releases variously explaining, excusing and justifying intelligence overreach spreads that responsibility from the institution to the man.

I'll go with Ted Rall also. Any more it seems that the (D) by Obama's name is the only thing going for him us. Too many people are blinded by that (D) though.

Edited to add this:

Karma is real and it does get around.

uses "Barry" to represent Obama in a political cartoon, and that frosts you? How do you feel about the NSA's comprehensive surveillance of US citizens?
