Technology in Politics

McCain's policy on technology: McCain wants to have a whole bunch of people at the white house to help use tech. as a solution to improve education, health care, homeland security and other issues. He wants people who's job is to sit and think up of ways so that technology can help things such as education. So that way more schools will hand out personal laptops, and offer more technology exeperince for a further education.

Obama's policy on tech:Obama is for providing every school in the USA with access to the enternet. There are many things that you can learn from the enternet. Obama also wants to send phone lines to rural areas who don't get phone service. That way equal distrubition of technology is given to everyone. Where as McCain just wants to improve technology to some of the people.

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.
