| What a year 2012 was. A year with genuine hope for change...which never came. Well, there was change, but it was pretty much all for the worse. Still, we have every reason to believe that 2013 will make the previous year look like "the good old days." And just so we don't forget those fun times, here's a look back at some of the precious moments we all shared here on Hope n' Change Cartoons when we weren't drinking. |
 |
| JANUARY - Barry comes up with a big "jobs plan" to make it easier for foreigners to enter the U.S. with less intrusive security checks under the theory that, given the chance, terrorists would rather see Disneyworld than the 99 virgins. |
 |
| JANUARY - Barry wasted no time kicking off his campaign goal of turning Americans into bloodthirsty enemies and used the State of the Union speech to attack capitalism and the accumulation of wealth as "unfair" to the envious rabble. |
 |
| JANUARY - Barry's reelection campaign relied heavily on stoking racial anger. The MSM immediately defined allegedly racist codewords which were offensive to blacks. Conservatives attempts to woo black voters by renaming the "Founding Fathers" the "Consitution Daddies" failed to help. |
 |
FEBRUARY - But hey, who needs codewords when you can enjoy blatant anti-white racism? Obama's campaign created a special interest group for blacks only. They also wouldn't let white people use the good drinking fountains.
|
 |
| FEBRUARY - The election was going to be a major battle of dollars and unprecedented mudslinging - both of which could be handled with Super Pacs. Barry had no problem finding donors once it became clear that he pays everything back with interest... using tax dollars for subsidy giveaways. |
 |
FEBRUARY
- Barry supports the arts by commissioning a fantasy film about his
accomplishments. No, we can't actually think of any either, other than
his decision to go golfing the morning he could have stopped the mission
to kill Bin Laden.
|
 |
MARCH -
We lost the man we most needed at the time we most needed him. His
spirit and work live on, but we'll never know how much might be
different today if his voice hadn't been stilled.
|
 |
| MARCH - Barack Obama took to the airwaves to rhapsodize about Trayvon Martin, saying "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." He didn't mention that if he had a son who'd gotten the living hell beaten out of him, he would have looked more like George Zimmerman. |
 |
| MARCH - With the Senate refusing to pass a budget yet again, Barack Obama submitted one of his own. It made no cuts, raised spending, and was such a joke that it didn't receive a single favorable vote from either party. |
 |
| APRIL - The Supreme Court decides to consider the Constitutionality of Obamacare. Alleged Constitutional scholar Barack Obama appears stunned to learn of the existence of the Supreme Court, and says that our laws shouldn't be judged by people who aren't elected. |
 |
APRIL
- It becomes clear that Mitt Romney will be the GOP Presidential
candidate, causing Conservatives everywhere to contort their faces into
pained smiles in public and drink more heavily in private.
|
 |
MAY
- The Obama campaign released the cartoon series "The Life of Julia,"
showing that women no longer needed husbands or daddies or paychecks
because the government will supply everything. Unfortunately, what the
Right saw as a sick joke turned out to be a hugely popular message for young, stupid, irresponsible women.
|
 |
| MAY - Since nobody bothered to vet Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama the first time around, a new attempt was made. But the MSM media was still uninterested in his Marxist/Socialist/Radical roots and writings, his dislike of capitalism and "typical white folks," his fraternization with terrorists, and the fact that he eats dogs. |
 |
MAY - Shattering all previous records for lying, the Whitehouse actually made the claim that Obama was the most fiscally conservative president in generations. It was a ludicrous statistical and semantic trick. And the MSM lapped it up.
|
 |
JUNE
- Barry stuns dying businesses and desperate job-seekers by declaring
that "the private sector is doing fine," and our actual economic goal
should be putting more money into increasing the size of the government.
|
 |
JUNE
- Chief Justice John Roberts casts the decisive vote that Obamacare is
Constitutional, as long as the unconstitutional parts are renamed. This
is the day that the American medical system died - and with it, any love
for Chief Injustice John Roberts.
|
 |
JULY - The bloodsoaked "Fast & Furious" scandal is big news...except
on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, or any major newspapers or periodicals.
Hundreds are dead - and no one on the Left gives a rat's ass.
|
 |
JULY - B. Hussein trots out another
in a series of dumbass campaign slogans, hoping that one of them will
finally stick. Each is retired within a week or two after being used as a
rich source of Internet humor.
|
 |
JULY
- Despite letting foreigners into Disneyworld, the jobless numbers
continue to suck. Which is why far more people started taking disability
payments than getting jobs.
|
 |
AUGUST
- The election campaign was in full feces-flinging mode, and nobody was
quicker to sling crap than "Whorehouse Harry" Reid, who claimed to have
inside knowledge from his imaginary friend that Romney didn't pay taxes. Reid was lying through his store-bought teeth, but the MSM still treated the story as gospel.
|
 |
AUGUST
- Joe Biden brilliantly combined race hatred AND class envy by telling a
black audience that it was Romney's goal to put their asses back in
chains.
|
 |
AUGUST
- Barry declared that Romney's plan to build the economy was "trickle
down fairy dust." Meanwhile, Barry's plan continued (and continues) to
be "borrowing insanely will make everyone rich."
|
 |
AUGUST
- You can't buy votes without goodies, so Obama starts promising
mush-headed college students that he's going to grease the skids to help
them all get huge, impossible-to-repay college loans. Because that worked so well with mortgages.
|
 |
AUGUST
- To woo the votes of women who can't take care of either their morals
or personal plumbing, Barry puts Sandra Fluke on the stump (so to speak)
to declare that evil, ring-kissing, Pope-loving Catholics are fighting a
war on women by refusing to pay for their $4/month birth control pills.
|
 |
SEPTEMBER
- The Democratic National Convention begins. "Fustercluck" is tried out
as a new slogan, but eventually gives way to the entirely meaningless
"Forward." Convention speeches center on Obama's personal killing of
Osama bin Laden and skull-effing his lifeless corpse, secure in the
knowledge that the Muslim world won't take offense.
|
 |
SEPTEMBER
- The GOP's hopes that VP candidate Paul Ryan's detailed and
irrefutable math will help win over voters is dashed when it turns out
that neither the MSM nor voters have even a vague inkling of how math works.
|
 |
| SEPTEMBER - In a huge campaign scandal, Mitt Romney is caught telling the obvious truth about the fact that Americans who are on the dole are unlikely to vote for him and so aren't the focus of his campaign efforts. The MSM reinterprets this to say that if elected, Romney plans to leave 47% of Americans in shallow graves. |
 |
| SEPTEMBER - Barack Obama invokes Executive Privilege to hide the blame for "Fast & Furious," although it's unknown whether this is to cover for the guilty parties - or simply to hide the fact that Holder is an inept, incompetent, racist boob. |
 |
| SEPTEMBER - Following the brutal slaughter of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Libya on the anniversary of 9/11, B. Hussein goes to the United Nations to try to praise Islam and pin the blame on an Internet video that no one saw (as opposed to the Democratic convention which everyone saw). He additionally suggests that these sorts of unfortunate things are the result of Freedom of Speech. |
 |
| OCTOBER - Because there were still no answers about why no one came to the aid of Ambassador Stevens despite having warnings, requests for help, and a big screen TV in the Situation Room telecasting his murder, Hillary Clinton is presumably ordered to take the heat off of Obama by claiming responsibility and flying to Peru. |
 |
| OCTOBER - In one of the few brief shining moments of 2012, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama meet for the first presidential debate and Mitt absolutely hands Barry's ass to him. The Socialist-in-Chief comes off as a total doofus who speaks a lot and says nothing at all. |
 |
| OCTOBER - The president's campaign introduces "The New Economic Patriotism," which essentially says that unless you let the government take all of your earnings for redistribution, you're not a patriot. |
 |
| OCTOBER - Any momentum Mitt Romney may have been generating gets derailed when Hurricane Sandy blows in, giving Barry a chance to plaster his "sad face" all over the news while promising weeping storm victims that he'll cut through government red tape and make everything right as soon as he's finished giving Governor Chris Christie an oil-scented massage. |
 |
| NOVEMBER - Election day has nearly arrived. A chance to finally right the wrongs of the past four years, as long as it's the political will of the stupidest voters on Earth. |
 |
| NOVEMBER - Obama wins reelection, handily earning the votes of blacks who he told to hate whites, women who he told to hate men, poor people who he told to hate the middle class, middle class people who he told to hate the rich, young people who he told to hate old people, Hispanics who he told to hate English-speakers, and liberals who he told to hate everything America has ever stood for. |
 |
| NOVEMBER - Freed by the election from the shackles of reality, Tim Geithner announces that the way for America to avoid hitting the debt ceiling is not to spend less - but to eliminate the debt ceiling entirely, borrow insanely, and hope that the Mayans were right about an asteroid coming to destroy the Earth in December. |
 |
| DECEMBER - Unfortunately, the Mayans were wrong and Americans need to do something about the fiscal cliff. Or, of course, not. After campaigning for over a year on the promise to raise taxes on "millionaires and billionaires," Obama is offered a deal which raises their taxes but spares most small businesses. Barry reveals that he had his fingers crossed. |
 | |||||
| DECEMBER - Just when we think 2012 couldn't possibly suck any harder, a lunatic brutally murders 20 young children and 6 adults just days before Christmas. The Obama Administration and MSM enthusiastically pounce on the deaths to attack the 2nd Amendment and set the wheels in motion for gun-seizing programs in 2013. |
 |
| DECEMBER 31, 2012 - Hope n' Change Cartoons
pops the cork on a bottle of bubbly (better than bursting a blood
vessel) and lifts a toast to our many friends and supporters who helped
make this year tolerable (or nearly so) and who will continue fighting the good fight in 2013, occasionally ripping out a sonorous, champagne-flavored burp as we storm the ramparts.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
FROM STILTON JARLSBERG & HOPE N' CHANGE CARTOONS |
