In this comic, President Barack Obama is playing basketball. Up at the top, the title says "March Madness". There are alot of bombs coming towards Obama. On the bombs there are words such as "GOP, Economy, Gas Prices, Japan, Libya", and "Environment". The artists messgae is very clear. The artist is saying that there are alot of problems that have been "thrown" at Obama during the month of March.
This month has been perticularly hard on Obama. First off, Libya is in a state of civil war at this point, which is coincidently driving up the prices of gas in America. Also, Japan was hit with an 8.9 earthquake and a tsunami. Japan also had a melt down at one of their nuclear power plants.
While the comic is comical, it also influences the way the reader thinks. When people read this, they get to see all the stuff that Obama has had to deal with this month. So, the reader feels a little better about the decisions Obama makes, simply because he is dealing with alot of stuff right now.
