Cartoon #4

-The cartoon was drawn by John Cole.

-It was published in The Scranton Times on December 18, 2009.

-The cartoon deals with the holidays. Obama is dressed up as Santa Claus with a man on his lap asking him for a job, but all Obama does is ignore his petition, and reply to his wish with issues such as health care bill, the war in Afghanistan, and Global Warming trades, as if he was not listening to his needs.

-What the cartoon is trying to tell is Obama’s inefficient plans. This cartoon is referring to the waste of money that the government is making instead of be concern about what really could help the country to get rid of the recession, such as giving people better jobs.

-I agree with the message of the cartoon, even though I don’t think Obama has the total responsibility of what is happening, he is the main person, so it’s easy to blame him for every problem that we have.
