How would you like Obama depicted in a Doonesbury cartoon?
Trudeau always uses a symbol to represent the president. With Clinton, it was a waffle. With Bush, first a cowboy hat, and then a Roman helmet. In lieu of someone today calling Obama a Chess Master, I would like to see him as a chess piece. Or the hand that moves the chess pieces.

1. As a person.
He didn't always use a symbol. Back when he actually still drew the damn thing.

12. Wasn't it during the Reagan years that he would show a pic of the
White House and have the conversation show up in the sky?

14. One possiblity I could see him using
would not be a symbol but to actually draw Obama but make him a superhero or diety-like figure. Maybe put him on a pedestal.
