Cheney & Obama cartoon "Family Reunion"

    Barack Obama cartoon / Dick Cheney cartoon - Kissing cousins? This one dates from October 23, 2007. Genealogists discovered that Obama and Cheney were (distant) cousins. This proved to be a veritable goldmine of one-liners for late-night TV comics and political pundits, and even Cheney and Obama themselves. I imagined Obama's reaction to be like Luke Skywalker's reaction when he found out that the dreaded Darth Vader was his father. (I wasn't the only cartoonist to use that analogy, although I think my cartoon made the best use of the idea.) - Jerry Breen www.newbreen.com newbreen@comcast.net
