Blog Stage 4: Political Cartoons


Andy Marlette from Pensacola, Florida created this hilarious picture about what's going on with congress right now. This political cartoon was placed on the opinion page of USA Today, like many others. This picture is a replica of Miley Cyrus's new video for her song, "Wreck it Ball".

 
Many have much to say about the "new" Miley Cyrus and how she is wreck-less and irresponsible. Sounds familiar. The government right now sucks, and I know that's a crappy way to explain it but many can agree. When looking at both pictures you can obviously see the comparison. Marlette is making a statement that the elephant (republicans) are equivalent to the "irresponsible" Miley.  
The wrecking ball is the shutdown threat, which came and crashed the government unexpectedly to many, but we can clearly see who has been riding the shutdown all the way through.

 
Through out this process the politicians can't be trusted on respected. My personal opinion is many aren't going to take the government serious after the aftermath of this nonsense, or trust many more politicians'. Not even our president.
 
 
 
Even though, the republicans are in the hot seat doesn't justify that the president is still making the calls. People already believe he is lazy, how long will he sit back ad let this go on? I believe there is still some more fighting he can be doing. But, I can also argue that there is not much he can do when there are stubborn people fighting against him and they are also fighting against their own team (republicans).
