Democratic college

This college depicts many things. Obama and Joe Biden are in it because they are the candidates running for president and vice president this year. They are against guns. They are pro-choice, which is why i have a baby's picture cut up. They also want to take us out of the war. The Democratic party is for gay marriage and for alternative energy sources. A donkey is their symbol. And the reason there is part of Martin Luther king Jr.'s speech on the edges is because MLK is tantamount to Obama becoming president, because he will be the first African-American to be president.

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.
