Wide selection of political cartoons going back almost 200 years.   Politics has always been dirty.

Maybe so, but not so overtly hostile.

Also dawned on me that no Democrat figureheads greeted Bush or Cheney on their last visits to Oklahoma.  Funny I didn't hear anything about disrespect then.  We had a Democrat governor and mayor at the time.

Do you have evidence of that, or is it just an assumption? Last I heard you were wondering about it but hadn't actually looked into it.

Nope, they did not.

One other clarification request: Was this while they were in office, or after?

Nope, both were still in office.  Bush's visit was, 2008 to OKC, Cheney either '07 or '08.  They ran his motorcade the wrong way up 2nd St.  It was so refreshing to see hipsters flipping off our VP.  Spoke quite well for Oklahoma, don't you think?

I didn't equate Obama as a war criminal like those clowns Bush and Cheney....but I know you still tow the potty line.

Why not?  He's continued their aggressions.  I seriously doubt rendition has come to an end either, regardless what the official line is.

I don't really care what the hipsters do. I care more about what our elected representatives do. If they were still in office and Brad Henry's office didn't send someone to meet them, he's as deserving of scorn on that point as Fallin is.

Honestly, it doesn't bother me if an elected official from the opposition party doesn't greet a sitting president.  I certainly wouldn't expect one of them to alter their schedule on such short notice either.

I seriously doubt this is anything new, nor is Oklahoma the first state for this to happen.

See, I think it shows a lack of respect for the office, which is deserved regardless of how great or crappy the person holding it is.

Hello,
Partner One is the only ad agency that pays for many of your advertising costs for you. You never reimburse us. You only pay a small % of the sales increase we generate for your business.

Does Partner One hate Obama?  If so, please offer a scaleable argument that contributes to that perception and somehow quantifies Partner One as a member of "You People."

When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

West Virginia must REALLY hate Obama:

QuoteWith 60-odd percent of the vote counted in West Virginia's Democratic primary, a man named Keith Judd can make a unique claim. He has won a greater proportion of the vote -- almost 40 percent -- than any other primary candidate running against Barack Obama.

Who's Keith Judd? He's prisoner #11593-051, currently serving out a sentence for making threats at the University of New Mexico. In 2008, he caused a minor stir for making the Idaho primary ballot, confounding state officials, who thought they had rules preventing that sort of thing. Unbowed, he ran again this year, delivering FEC reports every quarter -- although said reports are typically just essays containing his current worries about the Republic. From April:

According to the inspiringly thorough VoteSmart, Judd's criminal record is distracting us from an impressive resume. He's credited as "Founder, World Peace Through Musical Communications Skills, 1963-present," and "Member, Federation of Super Heroes, 1976-1982." (We all remember what happened in 1982. Don't make me describe it again.)

Four years ago, Barack Obama went into West Virginia and got mowed down, winning only 26 percent of the vote and losing every county to Hillary Clinton. He's doing better tonight. But consider the competition -- this guy's not set to be released from prison until next June.
