My latest political cartoon depicts President George W. Bush riding on a donkey in the opposite direction of a sign pointing to "common sense". This is a last jab at a seemingly unintelligent president before he turns over his presidency to Barack Obama. This cartoon is probably a result of a war that has had very serious consequences, as well as a financial defecit that is the worst the United States has seen since the Great Depression. But then again, support for Bush was very very high at the beginning of his presidency, much like the unwavering support for Barack Obama right now. Hopefully, president elect Obama will have more common sense than our current president and pull America out of its financial crisis.

This week my cartoon depicted a military general declaring that we must increase violence in iraq to halt the mindless violence in iraq. It is meant to poke fun at military officials who were supporting the surge into iraq. Though the surge seems to have been very effective, this cartoon still has the support of many anti-war democrats, criticizing republic military officials. It will be interesting to see how Obama handles the war, seeing as the surge was so effective and Obama is so strongly for pulling out of iraq. He will be faced with a difficult choice that will be watched closely by everyone.
