John: Lately, my “Obama Been Lyin’ ” cartoon seems to be popping up all over the internet. Here’s a new one. Apparently, it’s impossible to make fun of Obama without being accused of racism. I’m sure this cartoon will get the same reaction, which is richly ironic, since the subject of the cartoon is Obama’s racism! I’ll send you a new Jimmy Carter cartoon in a day or so. Thanks again for your help in disseminating my artwork. - Jerry Breen

To one and all: Here’s my first political cartoon in a while - on the subject of Barack Obama’s helpful hints on dealing with white people!
Before you get mad at me for putting words in his mouth, let me assure you that they’re his own words, every one of them, all 51 words in a row, with no editing - taken from the first chapter of his famous memoir, “Dreams of My Father”. As for taking his words out of context, the context makes them sound worse - after his mother expressed her concern about one of his friends being arrested for drugs, he allayed her fears - and then offered the incident to the reader as an example of a “trick” he had learned that was useful in dealing with white people! Strange guy. As usual, you can view this cartoon on my own website - www.newbreen.com or www.jerrybreen.com - as well as on other websites like www.jasperjottings-daily.com . I’ll have a new Jimmy Carter cartoon (always one of my favorite subjects) in a few days.
Thanks again, Jerry Breen

[...] “Barack Obama Promotes His New Book. Another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved– such a pleasant surprise to find a well -mannered young Black man who didn’t seem angry all the time. Obama - How To Handle White People or Conversations with My Mother.”” Image courtesy of http://www.newbreen.com via http://jasperjottings-daily.com/2008/04/18/cartoon-baracks-new-book-by-jerry-breen-mc1970/.

I agree with Margaret C. –> Obama is a racist!

You my friend are an idiot! First of all it’s “Dreams From my father”, and second that passage is nowhere to be found in the first chapter. Get your shit straight before you say anything, you fucken loser!
