JibJab: 'It's Time For Some Campaigning'

Posted: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 8:00 AM by Dan Fleschner
Filed Under:

The folks at JibJab have been busy lately, putting together their latest animated satirical number, this time taking aim at the presidential race.

I think most people will agree that it's funnier than the ill-fated New Yorker cover.

No word yet on whether either the Obama or McCain camp has expressed outrage about it, but it's probably only a matter of time.

McCain looks a whole lot madder than Obama. We need someone who will fight, not cut & run.

Oh, my God! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. It was great! Thanks so much. I'll look forward to more from Jib Jab in the future.

This was offensive to all, not funny.  I can't believe the Today Show played it.  free speech I guess.

...so the thing I don't understand... the cartoon depicts some truths of our government..we know it, they know it...AND IT GOES ON. Why? Politicians continue to work for the good of their own pockets and special interest groups, but it must be OK. They are the ones that got us here. The senator that said, "A Nation of Whiners". Put him in a middle class environments for 6 months...we'll see who is whining.

McCain looks mad because he is behind in the polls.

Hilarious!  Thanks NBC. We need more of these to lighten the load of the newly minted, downward spiraling "Interminable Campaign."

One thing we Americans love, we can laugh at ourselves, and we need to laugh more often.  I think this was great, and a little more humor in this life will help us get through this mess we are in, and we brought it on ourselves, we can't blame anyone but ourselves... and we will get through it as we always do.

America has been RATTED OUT by Congress and Nancy Palosi!!!

Wow all of the people who think this is offensive need to grow up. It is simply meant to be funny. It didn't favor any one candidate or show anyone in a good light. If you people really feel that this was offensive, I'm scared. Wow, how sad is it that even the people who are paid to make us laugh are getting bashed. Hello! That's what they're here for. GO OBAMA!
