Visual Metaphors



In this photo we have all of the people from the Campaign Race of 2008. In the bottom half of this photo we have our current President Barrack Obama. He is dressed up in a suit of armor fighting off Hillary Clinton. They both are on their knee's looking exhausted. While John McCain is standing on the top of the bluff looking down at Clinton and Obama battling to the death it looks as. Next to McCain stands an Elephant showing how the Republican Party is united as one instead of the conflict between the Democratic Party. During the whole campaign Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama were just taking swings at each other in the media. Clinton would talk about how Obama was not qualified and he would fire back with some things in the same sense trying to put down Hillary. This started from the first day of the 2008 and made people sick of watching the news due to it was just them not being able to settle on topics, instead of having always both sides. The quote from the McCain cartoon talks about how we won’t need his lance to battle anymore but instead just a broom. The artist of this cartoon shows how when two people of the same party battle within, that the other group will come out ahead. McCain should have only wished that this would have been the case though. Once Obama was nominated to run against McCain and Clinton lost that opportunity she was instantly a huge supporter of Obama. Making McCain now the only target for both of them now, maybe he should be grabbing his lance.
