Political Cartoon

Ok so this weeks politcal cartoon is from cagle.com/politicalcartoons

This political cartoon shows a big disgruntled hobo like guy who is welcoming Obama at the white house. The big is actually recession and as the caption says he'll be staying here for awhile. It's pretty self explanatory I guess, Big guy = big problem so Recession will be the biggest concern and problem for Obama for his presidency.

Other then that I'm glad to witness the first African-American to assume the role as our President, it is truly part of our Countries history. I definitely thought I would not see this day at my age of 18, maybe when I was like in my mid 30s or something. So I wish Obama good luck, and I hope he'll lead our country to prosperity in the next 4 years! :)

Political Cartoon #5

So this week my political cartoon is again from cagle.com/politicalcartoons.

So in this political cartoon basically says "Bush Happens" and Bush himself is at his podium by Dick Cheney above all the problems Bush faced in his presidency. Some of the problems mentioned are Wall Street's collapse and the economic recession were in, New Orleans and hurricane Katrina, Bin Laden, a soldier probably meaning conflicts in the middle east, and an Asian guy similar to Kim Jong Ill, with a A-Bomb probably meaning Korea. There's some other ones on there that I don't really understand however, but someone else could probably explain them. I thought this cartoon was pretty funny considering how they made Bush look and instead of "S*** Happens" (censored for Stroudy...haha) it's "Bush Happens"

So Obama take's presidency next week, hopefully we'll have a peaceful no problematic transition and hope for the best for America in the next 4 years! :)

Politcal Cartoon #4

So this week my political cartoon is from again cagle.com/politicalcartoons.

This politcal cartoon is a reference how 2009 will be this year. The caption of this cartoon is "Buck your seat belts! It's gonna be a wild ride!". The 2009 roller coaster is shaped with many loops and crazy other stuff. Another image is that the person who says the caption is Uncle Sam, who I think represents the U.S. In the back of the roller coaster carts are ordinary people, I guess you can say the citizens of the U.S. The cartoon seems to mean 2009 will not be easy and will be a very rough ride to get through to 2010, mainly because of 2008's problems that were not solved. Or even a prediction of new problems that will arise.

Overall we will probably have a bumpy rough start through 2009, but who knows what could happen later on, things might go for the better or worse. All I know is we graduate in 6 months now :D
