Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for December 01, 2012

Love that Bucky!

And he’s already smarter than Mr. Obama’s predecessor.(no matter who we think it really was…)

Judging by his expression, I don’t think Bucky was taking it seriously.

Kali and Nab…. yeah yeah it’s 2012 now, OK?

Meanwhile…. I see no conflict between Brewster’s and Pam’s statements in panel 3.They’re not incompatible.

What Bush and Bucky have in common is that mindless stare when they recieve news that their world is in danger—on 9/11/01 Bush sat there like a pole-axed cow for 7 minutes; on 12/01/12 Bucky sat there like a bucket on a coat rack for an even longer time; but in his defense he is just a bucket on a coat rack, while Bush was supposed to be the President of the United States.p.s. Defend him all you care to, Bush was a caricature of a president; he had the leadership qualities of a burlesque clown with the wisdom of a Punch & Judy puppet. Feel free to brag about him all that you care to, but don’t be shocked when people snicker behind your back. “Socialist media.” Grow up.

“He’s a bucket on a coatrack . . . with a

The bucket heads are out in force today….

Why you talk like just learn English? If you want take serious – maybe you should learn how to slow down, pay attention to what you’re typing, and proofread before you hit submit. People seem to think spelling & grammar don’t matter – they do; without a face-to-face and audio, it’s how we can determine your intelligence.

Pam is obviously part of electorate that resents the rapidly growing number of household items and interior decor coming to power in today’s galactic politics.She needs to stop her anti-furniture rhetoric and challenge Bucky on his policies, even though those policies are, admittedly, very insubstantial.

Wow, today’s Brewster hit a sore spot for some people. Regarding Bush’s initial reaction to the 911 attacks he could’ve calmly left the classroom post haste without upsetting the kids. Just sitting there for several minutes not doing a damn thing is inexcusable. Dang Bucky could’ve just sat there motionless as well.

I will give Bush credit for one thing and one thing only. If I had been president on 9-11, I would have pushed the button and blown the middle east off the map. I love the fact that Pam is th only person who realized that Bucky is just a bucket on a coat rack, which is probably, of course, what sparked all these comments about Bush.

Bush did nothing for seven minutes on his 9/11

Obama did nothing for seven hours on his 9/11

I can understand a person in a high stress situation, facing an unprecedented event, with limited information, taking a handful of minutes to make a decision on what to do.

I have a hard time with someone having seven hours, and during that time watching a live feed of the situation, and not being able to make a decision on what to do.

I thought the strip was hilarious. The comments….not so much.

Navy SEALS killed OBL, not ObamaObama prioritized it, assigned the resources, gave the orders. Many told him not to – too politically risky. If it had failed, right wing would be gloating to this day.The causalities continue to this day in Afghanistan.True. We should have solved this problem in 2002 when we had the chance, instead of diverting all resources to Iraq. That being said, yes, I would agree. The Afghan surge has been a failure and we should leave. It would help if a Republican (any Republican) would call Obama out on this.The people Obama helped in Libya he later allowed to kill our ambassador in Libya.I’m going to wait for the facts on this from the Benghazi Review board, headed by former chairman of the joint chiefs Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen.Instead of Fox N’ Friends.He continued the Bush attacks on our privacy and freedom.True. Which is why I was complaining about the Cheney-Bush "Patriot Act’ in 2001. I knew any future president would be reluctant to surrender inherited powers. (Were you complaining about it in 2001, also?)All the while spending more and more money we do not have.We had a budget surplus in 2000. Bush-Cheney squandered it, and then plunged us into debt. Two wars, off-budget as supplemetal expenditures, had to be ‘put on the books.’ Then the Great Recession hit. Any president from either party would be facing the same fiscal dilemna.Meanwhile, the soldiers Obama’s orders have gotten maimed and disabled have need charity for what the US Government should be providing them. True. But why do you ignore the 32,223 wounded from the Iraq War? Neglect of veterans at Walter Reed 2004? Fort Sill 2008?We need to be minding our own business and getting our financial affairs in order, not establishing another foreign military base.Were you saying this in 2003? I was.

You will have to ask the current administration why they ignore the 32,223 wounded from the Iraq WarI’m pretty sure that they’re not being ‘ignored’, on the otherhand, it seems obvious to me that the VA is over-burdened and inefficient. Someone with more knowledge of Veteran’s Affairs should address this.Are you not concerned about Obama getting us into a war with Iran? He is continuing, as did Bush, to meddle in the Middle East.Very concerned about war with Iran. I think it’s insane. But it’s obvious that it’s Netanyahu and the Likud cabinet that are pushing for war with Iran, not the US.As far as ‘meddling in the Middle East’ . . . it is a responsibility thrust upon us as the world’s superpower, exercising command of the seas, and more influence in Israel than any other country.

Perhaps one of the most telling moments of George II’s administration was when Congress and the white house (with former first lady Nancy Reagan) were being evacuated because of an unidentified aircraft approaching, NO-ONE told little George about it. They allowed him to continue his bike ride. His wife was being sent to a bunker and NO-ONE appraised him of the fact.

Yes, the dead Ambassador is directly President Obama’s fault, but the 1,000’s of dead soldiers in Iraq have nothing to do with Bush. Get real. And for your information, we are getting out of Afghanistan. The reality of today is that we are still mired in messes and screw-ups of the Bush administration; 4 years later we are still trying to crawl out of the hole his policies created. Defend him all you care to, but he’s a fool by any measure.

@ Puddlegum:The inaction I’m referring to is when he was sitting in a classroom of school children and an aide brought the word “The U.S. is under attack.” There was a camera crew filming him, and after the message he sat there, with no visible reaction, for 7 minutes! All of this on video. My thought is that he could have calmly and nicely excused himself, and gotten to the business of running the country.If Clinton or Obama did the same thing, the right-wingers would be all over them for their poor leadership, but somehow they seem more than willing to forgive this rodeo clown of an ex-president that was Bush.

@ wbbh:Actually it would be “If you want to be taken seriously.”And I think he was making a joke with his first sentence.

@ wbbh:“Since they were ignored I compelled to respond with a little reality.” Yes, very little reality.

But what a bucket and WHAT a coat rack!

Barak Obama is Kenyan for “Bucket on a stick”

How is he holding the phone? Even if someone put it in his “hand,” he has to hold it somehow.

And mindless repitition is a bore.Become less boring, Troll.
