Political Cartoon on the issues

This cartoon was drawn by John Cole, published by The Scranton Times Tribune on 12/18/2009. The title of the political cartoon is Santa Obamas lap. This cartoon deals with the recession issue which is the issue of people being unemployed and not receiving any money. The message is that Obama is dealing with a lot of issues but not the fact that a lot of people need jobs. Obama seems to have a lot on his plate or in this case his lap so he cannot deal with every important issue that he needs to focus on. I agree with the message that Obama doesn't seem to have a handle on the recession issue and that he needs to realize where his priorities lie.

Favorite Holiday

My favorite holiday is Halloween, because as a child it was always fun to dress up as someone else for a day and receive candy. After coming back from trick-or-treating it was always fun to pig out on the days loot. Nowadays on Halloween I usually watch my favorite horror movie Halloween: Resurrection and anything else scary that happens to be coming on televison. Last year before Halloween my cousins and I went to Markoff's Haunted Forest and it was so fun.

Political Cartoon on war about Reagan

This political cartoon was drawn by RJ Matson. It was published by Roll Call on 12/10/09 and it is titled Obama Paraphrases old Reagan Joke. The cartoon's message is that Reagan embarrassed USA with his comment about "outlawing Russia forever" because of the fact that the Soviet Union was known for its communism. Obama claims that he will stop the war in Iraq except for the fact that the war is still going on and there is still controversy about Obama recieving the Nobel Peace Prize. I agree that Obama has not done anything very important so far to receive a Nobel Peace Prize and that he does need to follow through on his comments about ending the war in Iraq.

Religious Symbols

I believe that since the holidays are mainly celebrated for religious reasons; displaying religious symbols is a good idea. The only controversy is that it may conflict with others' religious beliefs. However it should not matter what is displayed as long as everyone who has a specific holiday is recognized.

This cartoon deals with the global warming issue being discussed today.The cartoon's message is that there is a huge problem with the way the government is dealing with the global warming issue. I agree with the message the cartoon sends out; the government needs to do a better job dealing with this issue because it is so important to help our environment for future generations.

Update on Health Care Reform

The Health Care reform seems to be the same as it was before. Our health care does seem to be getting better for the public and easier for people to afford it. Insurance is important so the universal health care is headed to helping the public that needs it the most. There are still people who are against the health care reform brought up by Obama. This reform will help people who cannot afford health care who need it
