Question Of The Week 12/4/11
Mitt Romney still seems to be a strong candidate for the G.O.P. nomination in the 2012 Presidential election. One specific reason why he could win is because his team has been working for months with a small paid staff and a ton of supporters in Iowa in order to secure the primary election. He also has many different endorsements from all levels of government however he is just waiting to announce them whenever he needs the support. One reason why he could lose is because of his controversial Romney-care plan that he put in place while Governor of Massachusetts. This would suggest to some Republican voters that he is more liberal that normal party lines.

The political cartoon was drawn by Jerry Holbert who is a staff cartoonist for the Boston Herald. The key objects in the cartoon are the deficit, debt, and slow economy. All of these different objects are represented as Thanksgiving leftovers that The White House still has to deal with The cartoonist uses satire because he represents all the different problems that our nations is currently facing as leftovers. The cartoon deals with the different economic issues are nation is facing such as the deficit, national debt, and the slowly recovering economy. The cartoon's message is that The White House needs to start cleaning up the mess we are currently in and start fixing these different economic problems. The cartoonists point-of-view is probably more conservative because of the way he is criticizing The White House for its current actions on these different issues.

Question Of The Week 11/20/11
Rick Perry now seems to be declining in the polls for the GOP nomination in the 2012 presidential election while Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are increasing in the polls. One reason that he could win is because he is Governor of Texas which shows that he has political experience and since Texas is such a large state it shows the American public that he does have the background in order to become President of the United States. Compared to Herman Cain who has no political background with the Presidential office being his first elected political position. One Reason why he could lose is because of the mistake he made in the debate when he forget the Federal agencies. This caused the American public to doubt his abilities because a President should know the bureaucracy inside and out. I believe that Rick Perry will slowly continue to decline in the polls as the other nominees pick up more support.

Jerry Holbert drew the cartoon who is a staff cartoonist for the Boston Herald. They key objects in the cartoon are the airplane that Obama is flying which shows he is trying to avoid the missile of criticism that is following him which represents the views of the American people. Then the donkey throwing out the oil reserves shows how the Democratic Party and Obama are trying to avoid that criticism by attempting to lower the cost of oil. This shows that Obama is trying to avoid the criticism that he is facing by releasing the oil reserves and allowing some people to feel that something is being done. The technique that the cartoonist uses here is ridicule because he is portraying Obama as trying to flee from the criticism. The issue that this cartoon deals with is the crticism that Obama faces and why he has been starting to let the oil reserves be released. The cartoon's message is that Obama is only releasing the oil reserves in order to have the American people distracted from the criticism that is chasing him. The cartoonist's point of view is probably more conservative than Obama's views on the issue and more leaning towards the Republican Party.
