Supporting Obama


  • This cartoon didn't have a title nor caption.
  • The older voters are wearing pins to show support while the younger generation is wearing hoodies to show their support. Which shows a difference between older and younger voters. how the times have changed and become more interactive with society. Also they are standing in front of Lincoln's memorial
  • The older voter and the younger voter are having a conversation on the experience of Obama. 
  • The older people are questioning voting for Obama because of his lack of experience in government office. While the younger voters are being relaxed like "it worked out once before so why you worried about it now" referring to Abraham Lincoln's election which i  think is why they are standing in front of his memorial. The author has a moderate ideology their is no sway towards neither party.
  • It relates to our in-class discussion on voter participation. It shows the difference between younger and older voters. Which sheds some insight on why some people choose to vote the way they do.
  • Satire influences the cartoon a lot. irony is used in the young voters comment in front of the Lincoln memorial.
