This political cartoon is depicting Obama and Uncle Sam. It is stressing the idea that American is spending too much and getting "fat" on the spending scale. It shows Obama sitting upon the budget like it is his seat. He is telling America "it's time for dinner." This symbolizes Obama's spending and how he is fattening America and continues to spend. This cartoon appeals to pathos because it provides a perspective for the viewers to see how Obama is dealing with America's budget. It also uses a familiar face of Uncle Sam, who is usually on the thinner side, getting to be obese. This characterization makes it known that America is breaking the spending scale. The perspective this cartoon shows allows viewers to understand the full extent of Obama's actions on America. It also relates to many issues happening in America today and is versatile in what one applies it to. I enjoyed this cartoon because it is so easy to understand and also can provide a new view on many issues. It leaves it up to viewer interpretation but also narrows in on a specific aspect of economy and government right now.
