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....
