Politcal Cartoon #2

So, here's to blog post #2. First of all, if you didn't get this, recently there has been a big scam going on over the left over Senate seat due to Obama becoming President-Elect. So, Mr. Blagojevich, being the clever man he was, thought he'd sell Obama's old seat, and see what he could get out of it. Well, what he didn't know was that he was already being investigated....fool. So, in the middle of all this scandal, the FBI "wired" him, and caught him in the act. So last week, the FBI drags him out of his house. Embarrassing, right? Now they're looking to track down all those people who were suspected of having bid on the seat. Jessie Jackson Jr.? Hint. Hint.

So in this post, you see Mr. B, being dragged away by the FBI, and a big chair labeled Obama's senate seat, with a for sale sign on it. Mr. B is commenting that he shouldn't be in that much trouble, "it's not like I posted it on Ebay."

Basically, this is what our Government has come to. Lets hope it can only go up from here.

Blog- Political Cartoon #1

So, as we are amidst the blog portion of our studies, once again, here we go. This is a political cartoon i found online (PS-full credit to the scribbly name in the left). In this cartoon, you see a man trying to be expressive. We can gather that he is Barak Obama from the pin on his chest saying OBABA '08. You also see donkey, usually symbolizing Democrats. This donkey in particular look like he has overdosed, or should be in a loony-bin. He is holding a piece of paper, and from his caption, we can assume it is a list of Obama's record. He says that it is, "practically spotless," which is correct because the paper only has one item on it, 2008 Keynote. The donkey also mentions Obama's charisma.

All in all, i felt this cartoon was mocking the people who were, just like the donkey, voting/supporting Obama. It explains that, yes, he may be a good speaker, and yes, he may be able to "move" a crowd, but what has he ACTUALLY done for country? His record isn't too impressive....
