Forced Labor

By: Monte Wolverton
Gingrich is overseeing a forced labor camp, which is a joke about his idea for child labor, he wants to let kids work for their schools in exchange for money and work experience.

The author is using an ironic exageration to get his point across, of course they would never be put into a pit like that and forced to work.

This has to deal with his recent comment on child labor and his idea to help fix some issues he sees with it.

The idea here is that allowing young children to work, is unfair to them, and likely to lead to the abuse of the system.

The cartoonist is most likely a liberal who believes in childrens' rights.

Rick Perry

In my opinion Rick Perry has very little chance of winning the nomination right now. He's done very poorly in the last few debates and his history with racism and a certain rock just aren't appealing factors either. Also his controversial stance on immigration also helped shun his supporters. Unlike Romney though he appeals to many evangelical voters, and he also has a record conservatives like, big on gun control, big on anti-abortion, and big on death penalty, so at this point with Cain falling it looks like its all up in the air for who can get the nomination.

The key object in this cartoon is the deficit reduction plan and the key character is Superman, but he is admitting defeat.

Gorrell is both alluding to Superman and the Congressional Super Committee.

The main issue this is dealing with is the failure of the Super Committee to agree on anything and to get anything done.

The message is that some one else could be better suited to do that "superjob" and it's a huge project that they have infront of them.

His political preference is seemingly neutral of this author.
