Political Cartoon
This political cartoon contains Barack Obama giving a speech on education. He is
addressing little kids and letting them know of how great importance their education is. Then on
the side, there is a man telling the kids not to listen to Obama. The man seems to be protesting
and going against what the president is talking about. The guy himself does not seem to have
received much education.
In my opinion, I agree with Obama. Education is very important and the most valuable
tool we will always have with our selves. Education in the United States is totally free, which
means everyone should take advantage of the free opportunity. Obama, the president, is trying to
inform and educate his audience, being the children. Many kids in the United States take it for
granted when in other countries not everyone has all the same and equal opportunities.
If you want to become successful in life, education is key. If one ever wants to become
the president of the United States of America, education is of high importance.

This political cartoon does a great job demonstrating how there is always someone that
goes against the president even if it is to our futures best interest.
