Political Cartoons Bash Obama

With any big policy decision political cartoons are to be expected. It's no surprise that Obama's recent passing of Health Care Reform has elicited a slew of interesting cartoons that suggest the public isn't too happy with his Presidency thus far. The following three cartoons not only poke fun at Obama, but suggest his Health Care reform plan will prove to be a mistake. With the discussion of backlash and domestic

terrorism in previous blog posts, its interesting to see how political cartoonists are jumping on the bandwagon and bashing Obama's presidential decisions as well.

The following cartoon was found on a blog that explained why Obama's Health Care plan was an awful idea. To give you a taste of it, the author made sure to state in bold, "Yes, Yes…

thats what we need, a less than perfect bill to go along side all the other less than perfect bills." The cartoon itself depicts

Obama as dumb and unaware of his actions. This cartoon was one of many to portray him as naive and childish, while simultaneously dressed as a doctor.

The following Cartoon is called "The Obama Health Care Plan In A Nutshell" by Mike Ramirez. It was accompanied by this statement, "Obama and company are trying to roll us over with fancy words, false promises and outright deceptions on the government health care bill." The artist of this cartoon was extremely clever in naming it, especially with this new ear of internet technology. If someone were to do a google search to learn about Obama's Health Care Plan, and said something along the lines of "Obama's Health Care Plan in a Nutshell," they'd come up with 15 hits for this very cartoon. This is a perfect example of how the internet is an incredibly effective way to express yourself, and persuade others at the same time.
