Well, I'm certain the flying duck isn't supposed to be offensive. It's supposed to be irony...

Maybe that's true, but it's also true that not everyone's seen that toon before - including me.

What is he sticking up his nose?

Jeb Bush and one other fellow student back then ran an illegal drug and liquor distributorship on the Andover campus. When the heat started coming down, Bush ratted out the partner to the school authorities and saved his own skin. Jeb got away with it, was never caught, never punished, graduated unscathed and went on to the University of Texas at Austin.
To this day no one outside the Andover community even knows about this illegal activity. The media is apparently unaware of it. Through three statewide campaigns for governor of Florida, it never came up.
In 2012 at another Harvard event, this same Andover alumnus brought over another one of his Andover classmates and one of our Harvard 76 classmates and a staunch Republican to speak to me about the Jeb Bush matter. This second alumnus confirmed the story and added in this detail: I never knew why Jeb walked around Andover with his jaw hanging open until someone told me he was stoned all the time.

I think.
For a "lame duck president", President Obama sure is soaring high!

It's a good toon. Appreciate it without worrying about what others think.

Not everyone visits DU on an hourly basis. This is the first time I've seen it, and I'm certain there are plenty of other DUers who haven't seen it, either.
And I'm not worried what others thing, n2doc. I'm simply wondering why this toon, and others that put this president in a favorable light, is so abysmally ignored while those showing him unfavorably are recc'd to high heavens and feverishly commented on.
