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.

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."
