From early 2009 - a cartoon depicting the stock market 'tanking' under Pres. Obama.

1. So exactly what is that supposed to depict? |
|
The arrow signifies what? What does the grid signify? Doesn't political cartooning supposed to have a political message?

RW talking points, both: the "orator" bit, and popularity decline.

4. It has nothing to do with his popularity. It's a cartoon from April '09... |
|
And how everyone was blaming Pres. Obama for the stock market downturn.

5. Oh, my bad. It's not clear what's being shown here. |

7. I think that's why it's a FAIL. |
|
The cartoon is suggesting every time Pres. Obama opens his mouth, the stock market dips even more.
Well we're about a year from when it hit its lowest point and...

8. I remember people at Faux ALWAYS saying that the stock market falls every time |
|
Obama speaks. But once the market started improving, their new line was that the stock market doesn't matter. :eyes:

9. Furthermore, the credit/blame game seems to be one-way. |

President Obama gets all the blame from the Fauxheads if the stock market drops 100 points, but should it rise 100 points, well then, he had nothing to do with it. It was something else, especially Conservative doings.
