I liked it... mostly.

What's with the Big "O" shining down from on high?

Not a fan of that but the rest of it is really good.

Yeah, I saw that earlier and had he same reaction about the "O". It completely ruined, IMO, the rest of the drawing.

It's the second O in Google.

True, but why do they make it stand out that way. It could be taken a couple of different ways. I think they just meant it to be the sun. But it could also be construed to be a "divine" symbol of Obama.

Boy, that's a major stretch. It's the second O in Google. She used it to emphasize the shadow effects, a nice artistic touch. I think our shared distrust of the current POTUS has too many of us trying to find symbolism in every stylized use of the letter 'o'. :roll:

For me, that is because neither the administration nor the press misses a chance to do just that. Just chalk it up to the Narcissist in Chief and his sycophants.

Take a look at what the press puts out, after being bombarded with his symbolism for the last five years, you kind of know it when you see it.

I wish the critics would read the story. It was a contest for children to draw a Google Doodle of their best day ever. The girl who won drew one showing "her greeting her father after his 18-month deployment in Iraq when she was 10 years old."
