This cartoon depicts the big insurance company AIG and how they took advantage of their customers. There are three pirates and a chest of treasure on a seemingly remote island in this image. The pirates are the employees, the treasure is the money that they stole and the island is the off shore account that the companies use to hide this money. Two pirates are looking though the treasure as the third run back on the island with captain orders. The orders are essentially to return the money that was taken because was “shameful” the other begin to ask what shame is. This artist is say that big companies are getting caught taking people money and now have to return it but they do not fell anything they don now even have basic knowledge of shame just like pirates. The artist is also saying that the ethical code of conduct for the large companies is piracy because they are so self-serving, indulgent and without shame.

    In this cartoon you will find a donkey, an elephant and president Obama climbing a mountain called Healthcare Summit. Obviously the donkey represents the democrats and the elephant wearing the no hat represent in the republicans. The president sees a problem which is that 46 million have no health insurance, the elephant is not helping in fact he is weighing the president down. The donkey a democrat is trying to help the president by pushing the elephant along, but the elephant is not going anywhere willingly. In fact when the president asks what he sees he says the next election and calls him a socialist. The republicans do not approve of what president Obama at all. Some believe that he is a socialist because of policies like this one where the government is providing for the people through taxes.

    This artist Fitzsimmons appears to be a liberal artist. He is criticizing the republican for the old fashioned ways and not being willing to help the people. He is saying that the president sees a problem and is trying to solve is where as the republican are just preventing the process from flowing smoothly. The democrats always have to do anything that require them to see the big picture.

The carton is mocking the Democrats and their symbol the donkey.  There is one donkey who appears to be in charge and completely aware of the strategy and the other completely clueless as to what is going on about their strategy. The donkeys appear to be officers in some form of American military, the on one the left appears to have a higher rank than the other. The donkey in charge is pointing to the map talking about a strategy, but there is nothing on the map but what they want without a plant to get it.  This is shaming the democratic because it is saying that they enter into situations without a strategy.  The donkey on the left could represent the Democratic Party leady and the one on the right could represent one of his democratic underlings. The artist of this political cartoon could be a conservative but there are no real key elements that show any aspect of the artists just that they disapprove of the lack of planning going on in the Democratic Party.
