Over the Bounding Main

Jim Morin, 2/27/11:
Once again, we have here a cartoon with almost enough labels. Sure, Obama is busy steering the S.S. Economic Recovery, and oblivious to the oncoming storm of Mideast Revolution, but what is that sea he's on?

Perhaps the sea should be Economic Recovery, and the ship is the USA, or the Liberty, and its sails are Private Sector Hiring and Lower Taxes. But the cartoon is missing the dangerous reef of Double-Dip Recession, and it desperately needs an oil metaphor to bang its point home.
