Political Cartoon



It has been speculated that if Barack Obama is to become president he will bring marxism with him to the White House. In the cartoon it says the Marx Brothers with Groucho, Karlo, Oh Joe, and OHno labeled under the characters. This is linking Barack Obama to Karl Marx whose ideas of socialism were practised by our old enemy the Soviet Union which means that Obama is the enemy. The cartoon has names which rhyme and has Obama as an OHNO which could mean if he is elected he will only bring disaster. Many people in America disagree with socialism which is spreading the wealth around which Obama has clearly stated and this is how the connection was made. According to the cartoon, if Obama is the next president, a more soialistic government will form and personally I believe this.
