Political Cartoon #1:

In the cartoon, Barack Obama is asking whether the cars, the top three car companies, would like a bailout that would save them from crashing. The cars have huge eyes and an innocent look to them, sort of sucking up to Obama. The Obama daughters in the background seem a little annoyed, probably because that was not the idea that had of getting a pet. I sort picked up a negative tone to the cartoon. Obama seems to be portrayed as "unwise" or "unaware." The cartoonist apparently believes that Obama’s decision on simply giving away so much money is rash and that Obama is oblivious to its consequences. The cars (and chiefs of the companies), of course, would be begging for money to save their seats and wealth. Taxpayers may not be too happy to hear that billions of dollars they paid will be used to save companies whose chiefs had private jets fly them to the hearing in Washington D.C.
