People are so sick of all the election blabbering and all the TV and Radio messages and most are ready for it to be over. This cartoon shows a house surrounded by people asking for votes. It’s on the television, airplane messages, newspapers, the pone, and there are all sorts of fliers through the door. This is basically how it’s been for the past few months. Radio adds, all over TV, and everywhere we look it’s election related. After looking around we see two people hiding behind a couch, terrified at all the people around them. They say, “Stay low. It’ll all be over Tuesday.” Yes, Tuesday: the day of one of the most important elections ever. No matter what it will be historic: either a woman or a black man in office. People really need to pay more attention because electing a president is both a right as well as a responsibility of American citizens. Yes, it’s going to end: and then the decision made is the one we will remain with—no going back. The truth is people need to suck it up because the decisions they make will be with them for years to come.

Through out this election there has been a lot of slandering, mudslinging and even name-calling. This cartoon says “The candidates sum up their positions on the issues of pressing concern to Americans…” So what would we expect and want them to say in this situation? We want to hear that they are going to do whatever they can to make sure that this election is a success and we want to hear about how they feel about the final issues that need addressing—and what do we get? “George W. Bush!” and “Karl Marx!” There are two messages portrayed within this. First, each has an important and “negative” political figure they are compared to and will allegedly be no different from. Second, are the reasons for comparing these people to them. First of all Obama is campaigning for change from our current government. His strategy is to say that McCain will be no different from George Bush because he agreed with him on 98% of all the issues. McCain is comparing Obama to Karl Marx who is “credited” as the founder of Communism [look at the entry “Obama: The Next Karl Marx” to find out more]. Both of these are put in negative light. What the candidates should be doing is talking about what they can do to better the country but instead they are bringing down the other candidates.

**No matter how true these “accusations” may be it is still not the right thing. J

A lot has come out about Barack Obama over the past few months. For example this cartoon depicts Obama sitting in front of a desk in what appears to be a job interview. The man is saying: “Do you have any character references that aren’t corrupt Chicago political fixers, loony racist preachers or unrepentant terrorists?” while Obama’s face looks slightly embarrassed. What this is talking about is the awful things that people have discovered that Obama has been involved in. Such as Jeremiah Wright, who’s “church” Obama attended for TWENTY years. Wright is a racist [against whites], anti-America, ant-God, CRAZY PERSON! But when questioned about his attendance and loyalty to this church—AFTER admitting having gone there for 20 years—he claimed he did not know his opinions on all of these topics! Then the cartoon says “…or unrepentant terrorists?” Barack Obama was part of a group that tried to BOMB the pentagon. He claims that that was “in the past” but do we really want somebody this…corrupt as our president? Running our country and making decisions that will affect all of us??????? If we would just stop and THINK we would realize that the answer is absolutely NO!

A question that has arisen among citizens is: Where the government is getting the 7 billion dollars to bail out these businesses? In this cartoon we see a sign that says “The Amazing Bail-Out!” and a “magician” pulling $7 billion out of a hat. This is actually how the government is acting. Like they have $7 billion to throw around, like it’s no big deal. Ask yourself: Where does the government get most of their money? The taxpayers. And with this bailout they will have to steal money from us through taxes to pay it off. We then see a woman and a man next to one another. The woman says “WOW! That’s incredible! How’d they do that?!” and the man replies “I know haw it’s done…I’m a taxpayer, you can’t fool me!…It’s all done with mirrors!” Then you see a bunny with a fishing pole stealing wallets from people’s pockets. This is how it will have to be done! If we want to live in a free country we have to pay taxes, and the government can charge however much they want. Then again, if we don’t go with the bailout, hundreds of people will lose money and these huge businesses will crash. We have to decide what’s more important. In the end, most people, other than the owners of these businesses, are undecided. It’s a rock and a hard place.

What exactly is Barack Obama’s relationship to Reverend Jeremiah Wright? During his campaign Obama was accused of having Muslim and terrorist ties. In his own defense he told the public that he has attended The Trinity United Church of Christ for over 20 years. In this cartoon it depicts Wright shouting “KILL WHITEY” and Barack Obama with a paper bag over his head saying “don’t blame me. I’m not really here.” So why would someone with such openness about where he attended church have a paper bag over his head? Well—it’s not that surprising! After his statements were made, there was a flood of information about the racist, anti-America, AWFUL preaching styles of Rev. Wright. When questioned about this—Barack Obama responded saying he had never heard anything racist OR anti-America come out of his mouth. Make no mistake: Barack Obama is a LIAR! Reverend Wright has written books, come out with videos, and been very open about his feelings. Now—Obama has even worse ties before, and as always his first choice is LIE LIKE A DOG!!!!! In conclusion: Should the US be angry? YES! Should the US have alternated opinions of how Barack Obama will lead this country? YES! Should the media buy into his crap and believe what he says? NO! But do they? YES! Because now our media is nothing but biased.

In the eyes of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama can do no wrong. He is nicknamed the Messiah referring to the Bibles description of a religious figure who will lead the world from dark and sins. In this cartoon, it depicts Barack Obama writing the word “potatoe” on a black board. As most people know this is spelled incorrectly. We then see a journalist saying “HOW EMBARASSING! I’VE BEEN MISSPELLING IT ALL THIS TIME!” As we all know this notion is absurd, but is it unlike what people have been saying? According to democratic people BARACK OBAMA IS ALWAYS RIGHT! Is that possible: the answer is no. On top of that, how right exactly has Barack Obama been? He has relations to terrorists, which he denies. He has claimed that he will provide tax cuts to 95% of US citizens, when 35% aren’t paying them anyway! Another question that has arisen is Barack Obama’s critical analysis of Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol. Barack Obama was born absolutely ILLEGITIMATELY!!!! And his mother married the man, and had the baby and he supported her! So, why is NObama so critically opposed to the decisions made by Palin’s daughter when the same ones were made by his mother! He supports abortion and yet if his mother had done what he wants all women with illegitimate children to do, he wouldn’t be alive!!! So how can people say that Barack Obama is always right when he has obviously made dozens of ridiculous blunders? Why can’t Obama just go visit his 58th state.
