For the last several school days the students have been researching both McCain and Obama to make reports to share with the class. I asked them to also draw pictures of the two men as part of their project.

I think this is a picture of McCain after he tried to put Sarah Palin in another $150,000 designer outfit. The black eye says it all. You don't mess with the Palin.

I smell another Republican smear campaign. Are they trying to make the American public believe that Obama spent much of his youth as a go-go dancer at a gay club in Honolulu? With the blue eye shadow and glittery mascara he looks like a Tammy Faye Bakker drag queen. And as a side note, does he have that Michael Jackson disease which caused his nose to fall off his face?

So in the last picture Obama had lost his nose somewhere along the campaign trail. In this one he has a nose that resembles a butt. I’m not sure which is worse, to not have a nose at all or one that looks like it belongs sitting on a toilet seat.

I know Halloween is coming up later this week and that it’s all consuming right now to my class, but does John McCain really look like a jack-o-lantern with a dead black cat on his head?

Throughout this election unit we’ve been doing, it is clear to see where the political allegiance of the parents lie. A girl in my class has die-hard Republican parents who would literally give up their very daughter to get McCain elected. Her picture of Obama is pretty good, but it’s the name below the drawing that makes me smirk. In fact, I have a pretty good guess that her parents will be yelling something similar at the television screen when the results start pouring in on election night. Oh damn….uh!

I really believe this picture could help McCain capture all of those still-undecided Oompa Loompas.

This is supposed to be McCain, but to me it looks more like his elderly grandmother. Well maybe more like his elderly grandmother if she was prescribed steroids and ballooned to 500 pounds. Look for her as the new balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

What kind of racist homes are these kids living in where they think every African-American looks like Buckwheat? I’m surprised the boy who drew this didn’t include every overtly black stereotype by showing him in a field picking cotton with one hand and eating collared greens with the other. Only in Pekin.
