In the context of yesterday's election results, with an overwhelming amount of Republican candidates gaining office, I would say that this cartoon is indicative of the American public's goal of expressing their disapproval of President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic party in general through their ability to vote. Because many people think that Obama and Pelosi have done nothing to improve the economy and may, in fact, be hurting it, they decided to vote for Republicans across the board. This is the same thing that happened two years ago in the race between Obama and McCain. Besides their political platforms and strategies to win the public's vote, one of the main reasons that Obama was voted in was because the public was extremely anti-Republican after the eight year rule of President Bush. I personally think that this tactic of choosing political figures gets our country in more trouble than we realize. Blindly voting for one political party regardless of what each individual politician stands for is extremely irresponsible. Maybe if we paid attention to the details instead of letting our anger decide for us, we might finally end up with a president that we like.
