Cartoon Examination pt.4


1. This comic is titled "Obama Hears a Hu", this portrays the foreign relations between the United States and China.
2.The artist reflects Obama's blissful ignorance towards the way President Jintao runs his country.
3. The artist references the famous Dr. Seuss book "Horton hears a who" in shifts so that Obama becomes Horton and he is hearing the request of Hu Jintao.
4.I believe that the message of this cartoon is that so long as we are indebted to the Chinese, the country as a whole can not call out China for any outrageous actions made towards their own people. 
5.  The political significance involves American foreign policy. It is impossible for the nation as a whole to speak out against any country that could potentially own us in a few decades.
