FREE STUFF?!!



This cartoon is in response to President Obama's recent State of the Union Address. In the cartoon, you will see a male who is believed to be the President holding a little girl's hand, who is a representation of America. The President says, "Government will fix everything and it won't cost a dime." 'America' says, "I love free stuff!". This cartoon is basically depicting President Obama as spending a lot of money without thinking. For example, in the address, he said that he wanted to eventually raise the minimum wage to $9. This seems very unreasonable, explaining Obama's blurb in the cartoon. Also, this cartoon is implying that Obama is giving everything to everyone without them having to work for anything. This explains America's blurb.

"Marco Can't Sleep"



This political cartoon is playing off of Marco Rubio and the fact that he needed a, very awkward, drink of water during his live response to Obama's State of the Union Address. As he was talking, he swiftly stopped and ungracefully grabbed a little bottle of Poland Spring and took a tiny sip. Since his appearance, he has gotten many funny responses to the flub. This is obviously one of them.
This political cartoon is basically in favor of the Democrat, saying that Republicans always are saying the same things, for example, "ObamaCare is bad", "Obama only wants more taxes." The cartoon jokes and says that Rubio had to grab a sip of water because he was choking off of the same dry words all Republicans have been saying about Obama. In other words, get some new complaints Republicans.
