I did not know I was going to mention the President until I started writing the cartoon. I needed something against which to balance the lovable buffoon that would not be expected. Then, I thought of the Where's Your Mama, Obama name and I knew it had to be him. This does not imply I think he is a buffoon nor that I think everything works out in spite of him. I just needed a clever foil (FYI: A foil is a character who serves as a contrast to another perhaps more primary character, so as to point out specific traits of the primary character).
