The Sad Truth is revealed: Political Cartoons

While on the internet, I found these hilarious Bush political cartoons. One is entitled “Proof of Bush’s Torture Program”, the other is “Fiscal Irresponsibility”, and the last is called “Children’s Health Veto” (the links to these cartoons are inserted at the bottom of this post because I couldn’t put them into the text). However funny they are, the cartoons reveal a sad truth about the health care in our country, as well as the Iraq war. As you will see in the cartoons, dumping health care money into a hole (the Iraq war) sadly illustrates our country’s top priorities. Obviously, to the current administration, winning a war is more important than expanding health care coverage to millions more children.

The thing I love most about political cartoons is the truth they show through over exaggeration and humor. Hopefully, you will see the truth in these cartoons. What do you think about the message conveyed in these cartoons?
