Here's a selection of some of the other better lines we received this week:

"Children, dogs and Red States. I have no use for any of them."

"Now don't you say you can't swear off womanizing; it's easy.  I've done it a thousand times."

‘Sir, there’s no such thing as a tough opponent… if you parboil them for a few days, they always come out tender!”

"I love campaigning for president when I don't have to keep any of my promises."

"Go away, son, you Obama me."

"What did I take from my White House years? The fifth and some furniture!"

"If you liked me, you'll love my little chickadee!"

"Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?"

"I've spent the night in all 30 White House bedrooms! Slept in two of them."

"My girl in the white house is worth five in the phone book."

"Everything I do is illegal, immoral, or fattening!"

"Life was so much easier when I was Elvis!"

Please join us again Monday, May 5, for a new cartoon caption challenge.

The top five are outstanding in their Fields.

I loved all of these, including Doug Cox's witty comment.

I guess I need new glasses because I thought the Clinton character was Churchillesque rather than WC Fields. I guess my submissions must have been confusing to the Observer crew. The winner was very good in my opinion.
There's so much going on in the news lately that there's no telling what we'll be dealing with next week. Whatever it is, you can bet I'll look more carefully.

I take no credit for my second placer other than my memory bank for favorite quotes. Love the way Jim took another great one and spun it into his own.

The winners were great but my favorite was Go away, son, you Obama me!!!!
