Editioral Cartoon

I am not really involved into politics and try to avoid it as much as possible. Its not that I dont care about important issues around me but with politics comes corruption. Corruption and politics go hand and hand and results in improper use of power by people and overlooking issues that affect people around the nation. As of November 2008, the United States had its first black president, Barack Obama. His democratic beliefs and ideals promised people change and for the nation to rise up strong. Don't get me wrong, I think Barack Obama is doing a great job despite the recession and the war in Iraq that is hanging on his shoulders by providing people money and bringing back soldiers from the war. However many people have yet to see any drastic "change" and with the November elections, this anger was shown. People against Obama have mind set that the president that he has been abusing his power and corrupting his right and resorted to voting a Republican candidate for Speaker of the House. Their anger caused them to vote and convince others to vote for the Republicans so more of their ideas can be infiltrated into the White House. Hopefully this angry decision does result in more change for the nation and its citizens.
