The cartoon was drawn by Robert Ariail who was the editorial cartoonist for The State newspapers from 1984 until 2009. He is now published in more than 600 other newspapers through United Features Syndicate. In the cartoon it shows how all the other possible G.O.P. candidates who could receive the nomination are criticizing Mitt Romney. The Republican Party is always constantly disagreeing with each other over social, economic, and foreign policy issues. It shows Newt Gingrich disapproving of Romney's corporate background, Huntsman, Perry, and Paul describing how he isn't a good candidate for the party, and Santorum saying that he won't stand a chance against Obama in the Presidential election. Then there is President Obama who is happy that the Republican Party is such a mess because it raises his chances on getting reelected and becoming a 2 term President. The cartoonist ridicules the Republican Party for the mess that they are currently in over nominating a candidate that could win the Presidential election. The cartoon deals with the issue of the G.O.P trying to nominate a candidate that most of the party would agree on. The cartoonist's point of view is that the G.O.P. needs to get their act together and unify on their positions or the Democrats and President Obama will get reelected.

Question Of The Week 1/08/12
I believe that the candidate who will win the G.O.P. nomination for President will be Mitt Romney. This is because he won the Iowa caucus which gives him plenty of forward momentum in the rest of the primaries to come. Romney also has an organized campaign which will help him gather more support and make it easier for him to win primary elections throughout the nation. Among all the other candidates Romney has raised the most money for his campaign which has helped him lead the polls, considering the amount of money that he poured into Iowa in order to win the caucus. Even though Santorum came close to winning the Iowa caucus I do not believe that he will continue to improve because he has an unorganized campaign and is not very favored among the Republican Party.

The cartoon was drawn by Larry Wright who has been drawing a daily cartoon panel called "Kit N Carlyle since 1980 for United Media. In the cartoon there is a curious child asking his father why the presidential candidates spend such a huge amount of money campaigning for the primary elections. The father seems to be uninterested in the question because he has probably heard the same question being asked many times by different people. The cartoonist is using ridicule to show how much money presidential candidates are using in primary elections while many Americans today are still struggling to survive in the tough economy. The issue that this cartoon deals with is the amount of money that is currently being spend on campaigning for the presidential primaries. The cartoon's message is that candidates need to focus more and connect with the American public rather than spending all of this money on the campaign trail. The cartoonist's point-of-view seems to be more conservative going against spending all this money campaigning.

Question Of The Week 12/18/11
My favorite holiday memory was when I went up to New York City last year to go and visit my family. I had a great time because I was able to see all of my cousins who I am really close with. Being able to spend time with them really allowed me to release a lot of stress and enjoy the break. Also because for New Years Eve I went to Times Square and watched the ball drop into the new year. This was one of the best experiences I have ever had because of the amount of people there and the excitement in the air. We had to get there early in the morning in order to get a good spot in Times Square which in the end was worth the wait.

The cartoon was drawn by Nate Beeler who is an award winning cartoonist for The Washington Examiner. His cartoons are also featured in The San Francisco Examiner, and have been featured in USA Today, Time, and Newsweek. The key objects in the cartoon are the frontrunners for the 2012 Presidential election. Mitt Romney is criticized for his $10,000 bet that he placed with Rick Perry. Newt Gingrich is shown as somebody who has problems with his own personal relationships and that he has a lot of issues in his past. President Obama believes that all Americans will support his policies as shown in the cartoon. Then Uncle Sam then ironically comments on how all of these Presidential candidates are out of touch with the American people. The cartoonist ridicules all of the different candidates for the presidency because they are all out of touch with the American people but don't seem to realize it. This cartoon deals with the 2012 Presidential election and the different candidates who are running for President. The cartoon's message is that none of the current Presidential candidates are viewing the needs of the public and instead worrying about their own images. The cartoonist's point of view is more conservative and against all the candidates because he believes none of them will be able to secure the 2012 Presidential election.

Question Of The Week 12/11/11
President Obama's job approval rating according to www.gallup.com are that 42% approve while 50% of the public disapprove of his policies. His approval rating has been slowly declining ever since he entered office in 2008 which is following the trend that most other presidents face. He could however have a higher approval rating in the near future because of his recent handling of Libya, and the unemployment rate in the United States. If he continues to gain more support for the policies that he is putting in place then Obama has a good chance at reelection. Also the fact that he has raised more money than all the G.O.P candidates combined shows that the public still wants him to lead the nation.

The cartoon was drawn by Lisa Benson who started drawing cartoons in 1990 for a local monthly publication called, "The Senior Advocate." The mailman holding a bag of first class mail on top of the snail represents how the U.S. Postal Service is starting to cutback on the speed of delivery. Instead of first class mail taking 1 day to deliver it will start to take 2-3 days. The other mailman represents how the U.S. Postal Service is going to start losing customers because of the slower delivery time. The cartoonist uses satire because she is comparing the speed of first class mail to the pace of a snail which we all know is not fast at all. The issue that the cartoon deals with is the cutting back of the U.S. Postal Service because of the declining revenues that it is facing. More people are now using email instead of sending letters in order to communicate with each other. The cartoon's message is that first class mail will no longer be as reliable as it was before. The cartoonist's point of view is that we can't let the U.S. Postal Service slow down delivery times because it will end up damaging the government corporation even more in the long run.
