A. Cartoon Attached-Artist: Daniel Kurtzman

B. The social trend for this political cartoon refers to the current situation of Egypt. Egyptian citizens are revolting against the president, demanding for a new leader and a new government. What the cartoon displays is how Obama does little to help support the movement.

C. In this political cartoon Daniel Kurtzman conveys how President Obama reacted to the current situation in Egypt. The people of Egypt are revolting against their president and the Egyptian people demand a new government, Obama contributes little to help support the movement. The picture of Obama “liking” the Egyptian Protestors’ Page displays how Obama is really unwilling to help the revolt. “Liking” something requires no work or action taken. The picture describes Obama taking no action in helping the Egyptian people with the movement.

D. The situation of Egypt should be handled gently, because simply butting into another country’s personal problems can cause the problem to worsen. It’s better that Obama doesn’t do anything about the Egyptian movement, than causing the situation even worse. Obama has no benefits to his actions, however there are no negative aspects to it either.
