This cartoon is commenting on how some in America may think that Obama goes on a lot of vacations compared to an average American. The author is showing how they believe that American cannot afford vacations at all, in other words, the working class. In the cartoon, it shows Obama laid up on an island, with sunglasses on. He has a little bit of a pudge and he has a cooler with all of the places that he has visited on it. This can show how the author is trying to portray how relaxed and maybe a little lazy. Next to his chair is a newspaper that reads, "A vacation a month! Biden's $585,000 Hotel Bill." This is further pushing the main idea of the cartoon onto the rest of the Obama administration.
