Reflection
Throughout the election the political cartoons were set over a wide variety of topics that were changing constantly. As an example, the topics had the external and internal conflicts of the Republican and Democratic parties. In the democratic party Obama and Biden have some differentiated beliefs. Then there was the "attacking" of the candidates through words/ads. As another example, they had the fall of wall stret,and the economy. Overall, the election results will have an influential effect on how the country will becme.
Interview w/ Reflection
Q: How does the presidential candidates’ choice for vice president affect your vote?
A: Obama made a serious choice. He chose a person that was strong where he was weak, Foreign Policy. McCain made a wild guess.
Q: Does the candidate that you are voting for have opinions on issues you don’t agree with? Explain.
A: There are some issues that I don’t agree with, but they are minimal. The issues that I agree with overpower the others.
Q: How does the government economy affect your vote?
A: It makes it more serious that we need to get the right president in the office to make the changes that need to be done.
Q: How does the candidates’ position on changing the education in our schools affect your vote? Why?
A: Does McCain even have a perspective on education? I haven’t heard one. Obama recognizes that changes need to be made to improve the educational system.
Q: How does the presidential candidates talk about change affect you? Do you think they will actually take the time to make the change they say they will?
A: They will try to make the changes that they say but will not be able to accomplish everything they say.
Reflection:
During my interview the interviewee responded fairly. He could have responded with more elaboration but you can tell his viewpoint and standards as the questions are asked. The first question asks his opinions concerning the choice of the vice presidential nominee for each of the parties. Through this question, we see that he believes that Barrack Obama chose his vice presidential nominee wisely since Biden is strong in Obama’s weakness. The second question asks if he agrees with everything that his presidential choice does. The responding answer shows that he is willing it overlook minor issues to focus on the issues that are more important. The third question asks how the economy effects his decision. The reaction to this matter contains the realization that we need to get the right president in the office to establish the changes that need to be done. The fourth question asks how the candidates’ stance on the education in our schools affects him. His answer to this inquiry shows that Obama’s views on education have been clearly dictated as on the contrary, McCain’s has not. McCain’s issues on education have been their but they haven’t been made to stand out in his campaign as some of the other issues have. The fifth question asks how the candidates’ talk of change affects him. His response to this issue shows that he realizes that all of the change that the candidates’ have said will not come true. He believes that whoever is elected will try to the implement changes that they have stated. All anyone can do is wait to see how the election turns out, and the decisions that are to follow.

Democratic Collage
The Democratic Party believes that the United States is in need of a change that will affect the entire world. As an example, Barack Obama is willing to meet with the leaders of all nations whether they are friend or foe. This shows that he will accomplish what is needed to be done without backing away and being afraid of US enemies. Another example is Obama supporting charter schools. By supporting this, less fortunate kids are able to get an education and may eventually grow into the world’s best doctors or scientists or musicians ever. The Democratic Party will undertake the processes that they deem necessary to develop a better country.
Republican Collage
The Republican Party supports issues that will have a major affect on the United States with either side that is taken. As an example, McCain believes that individual schools should decide how creationism and evolution is taught. This affects the believers that don’t wish to learn about evolution, and the evolutionists who don’t want to learn about creationism. If they are both taught, then the students have the opportunity to learn the information about both sides. Another example is the cap and trade system that McCain wants to put in place. If this is accomplished problems may reduce dramatically. However, if it isn’t, nothing will be put in place to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions, and the current problem will get worse. The Republican Party will act as they believe necessary to make a better country.
Political Cartoon 6
The Ameircan public is making fun of the socialist views of Barack Obama. As an example, they have a mom says that there is enough candy to go around and to spread the wealth. This is an anaolgy to Obama who wants to "spread the wealth." Another example is that the kids are calling their mother a socialist. This dictacts the citizens that oppose Obama are like the kids yelling at their mother. Obama is being taunted for being a socialist even though his presidency may turn out for the better.

Political Cartoon 5
The economy is failing to the extent where nothing the government does will make a lasting solution to the economic crisis. As an example, this political cartoon shows an “economy boat” that has sunk under water. This demonstrates how the economy is collapsing. As a further example, this cartoon shows Bush in the economy boat trying to empty the water with a “bailout bucket.” This illustrates how the government is desperately attempting to fix the US debt. The ripple effect of the decisions that are being made today will determine how we live tomorrow.
Political Cartoon 4
The economy is failing and the final results depend on who is elected as President of the United States. As a example from the politcial cartoon, there is a bull that has been shot with the words economy on it and John McCain saying oops. This illustrates that the economy will continue to fall with John McCain as president. As a further example, there is Palin asking McCain if he would like her to field dress it. This dictacts that you can take her out of the country but you can’t take the country out of her, meaning her presence and ideas won’t make any difference. According to this cartoon, if the Repubilcan Party wins the election the economy will not improve.
