Who drew the cartoon? -Daryl Cagle
Where/When was it published? - MSNBC.com 1/20/10
What Issue does it deal wit? -The cartoon is referring to the outcome of the voting for the Massachusetts senator and the fact that the chosen one was a republican
What is the Cartoons message? What the cartoon is trying to say is that the outcome of this nomination puts a major roadblock in Obama's chances in passing the health care bill. The Republican Senator Scott Brown makes the difference to allow the republicans to filibuster the health care bill and other bills. This means that this might be the end for Obama to have any real effect in congress.
Do I agree or disagree? I definitely agree that this situation will most likely pose major problems for Obama. The only way that I see him getting a chance at passing the health care bill is to delay Senator Brown's "joining" to the Senate long enough that the bill can be passed without the threat of filibuster. The only thing is that afterwards the Republicans would be very very unhappy.
