This political cartoon by Michael Ramirez is a conservative cartoon that pokes fun at President Obama. In the cartoon, Obama is seen holding a guitar and singing into a mic. He's singing, "I got the let them eat cake, I don't care if 1 in 6 Americans live in poverty, cancel the White House tours but I'm still having celebrity concerts at the White House during the Worst Recovery in history blues..." This cartoon mocks Obama because white he talks the talk, he doesn't really walk the walk because he's still having a grand old time at the White House while 1 in 6 Americans are living in poverty. This cartoon could definitely affect presidential popularity and trust, which we've been talking about in class. Obama's been pretty popular, and going into his second term, he had around 50% popularity. However, this could change in the upcoming months.
