Political Cartoons

Al gore, the candidate that ran against bush is featured in this political cartoon. The media in this cartoon is twisting the actions of Al Gore. This man asks him about the growth of polar bears and Gore tells him to shut up. They end up calling the article "Another inconvenient truth." They pester him with a huge amount of questions and the people in the pool which are citizens are tired of it and say to "turn off his microphone." At the same time Gore runs away. The media controls what the public sees the person as by turning every action they make into anything they want it to be.

This political cartoon also features Al Gore. It shows him lounging next to pool with his drink while his butler brings him the latest from overseas. Gore responds by telling him to go recharge a solar cell. This cartoon is trying to explain that Gore is either a procrastinator or doesn't care. The important issues he has to deal with are being ignored and he is taking his sweet time to deal with the problem.






President Obama wants to send every senior citizen a check for 250$ hooray! The mailman brings the check to the old lady and the little boy wonders where all the money is coming from. The mailman brings in another letter but its a bill for the little boy. The grandma is happy while the child isn't. The seniors of America are getting money and they're really happy because they get free money. Unfortunately the youth are being charged with paying the money that the senior citizens are receiving. Also there might be a message of the child being so young that little kids might have bills built up by the time they reach their adult age.


Around September there were talks about getting N. Korea to talk to the 5 countries which are S. Korea, Russia, US, Japan, and China to stop their nuclear testing of bombs overseas.

In the middle of the conversation he screams fire and goes back to agreeing with the person over the phone. That author is trying to explain that he will pretend to stop nuclear testing but he is not a good person to confide in because he is very unpredictable.
