Global Warming

Global Warming is important because it can alter the human, animal and plant races. It is also important because it can cause climate change, and cause things such as droughts and other climate changes. An economically bad thing about fixing global warming is how it costs more to go green than to stay normal. An economically good thing about Global Warming is, in the end we won’t have to pay for gas because we won’t need it. Both candidates believe global warming is a real subject and is man-made. Obama and McCain stand in the correct position on global warming compared to the Democratic/Republican Party. I would like for them to come up with things such as solar, wind, and offshore drilling, and for continuing the search for an alternative fuel source.

Political Cartoon #1

Due to the current economic crisis the U.S. treasury is throwing billions of dollars into large corporation furthering the U.S. into a larger debt. For example, this cartoon depicts a man talking to McCain saying “Sir, you’ve got to get on top of this economic crisis…FAST! Before your running mate starts to field dress it.” This shows how Palin will ruin the economy even further, because she is young and inexperienced and thinks she is doing the right thing when actually she is making it worse. This cartoon also depicts Palin on top of a bull, representing the dead economy. This further shows how Palin thinks she is fixing the crisis, when in actuality she is just making it more of a mess. If we have a wrong political candidate doing the job incorrectly, then that makes the crisis works.

Political Cartoon #2

The current election is all about change, and how the candidates different from the “classical” presidents. For example, this cartoon shows an African-American boy saying how there is an “African-American in the race,” and a young girl saying that there is also a “dynamic woman” running. This shows how each party has something different about their parties. This cartoon also depicts a young boy saying “And the only white guys running have senior citizen discounts.” This further shows how the Republican Parties elected president has not changed, and remains the same stereotypes: male, elder, and white. John McCain fits these stereotypes for a president; therefore he is not getting as much as an advantage as Obama.
