Romney-Ryan and Medicare

Cartoon of Romney-Ryan Medicare

Silly me, I thought the Ryan plan to end Medicare as we know it would drive many, if not most, Florida retirees to Obama. Instead, many polls showed the Romney-Ryan ticket with a slight lead among this state’s retirees. This is my explanation – DON’T TAKE THE CARTOON TOO SERIOUSLY!.

The Last Great White Hope

Cartoon - Romney is the Last Great Hope for Defeating Obama

This is a takeoff on the white men billed in the early part of the 1900’s as “Great White Hopes” sent to knockout heavyweight champ Jack Johnson who was black and hated by some white boxing fans. The faces are drawn in a primitive Cubism style. One by one, the leading white Republican candidates are shot at the pensive President Obama, who floats  above them (so far).
