Nuclear Weapons: The big debate over nuclear weapons is that some people are afraid that the "waste" might damage the enviroment. However, strict law and protocols make nuclear power clean, cheap, and long-lasting. Obama is not a strong supporter of Nuclear weapons, but McCain sees it as a great energy source and wanted to implement the building of about 44 plants across the U.S. which would create about 700,00 jobs by 2030.
Offshore Oil-Rig-Drilling: Some people don't want them because they don't like seeing them when they lay on thr beach. Some people think they're a danger to the enviroment. Some people want them because they will help decrease ever-rising gas prices. McCain is a strong supporter of offshore-oil-rig-drilling, he sees it as a our only option besides getting oil from the middle east, and since the oil is close by, we can save prices of shipping it from Saudi Arabia. However, Obama would rather pursue cleaner, more enviromental friendly ways to create energy.
Global Warming: In the past 50 or so years, the worldwide normal climate has gone up several degrees, causing some ice in the poles to melt and some types of animals have trouble surviving in a hotter climate i.e. Penguins & Polar bears. Some people believe it is attributed to man-made greenhouse gasses output from cars and factories that have caused this, others, think its just a natural, timed occurence. McCain believes it is man-made, however Palin thinks it is a natural happening. However both McCain and Obana plan to decrease output of greenhouse gasses in order to stop global warming.
Political Cartoon
The Government makes choices that have to be made, even though they will not help the public. In this cartoon the Secretary of the Treasury is holding a gun to a tax payer saying “It Pains me, it pains me tremendously to do this.” and the gun says “Trillion $ bailout”. This is referring to the money that was given to the big companies to keep the stock market from completely crashing. Next, you see the Tax Payer saying, “Not as much as it’s going to Pain me”. All that money is being given to companies and the American citizens have to pay it all back from our own pockets by increasing taxes. Overall this may help us, but for now all its going to do is make things more expensive and cost us for the moment, but hopefully it will keep the stock market from crashing.
Political Cartoon
Religion has a large effect in the Election for President. In this cartoon there are two Elephants, representing Republicans, and the one on the left asks, “Still nobody buying”? And in the background there are two costumes, the one on the left is an Arab style robe with a headdress and the Quran next to it, with the name Obama below it. The other costume is a Soccer mom’s outfit with an AK-47 and the name Michelle under it. The joke is, when Obama was being interviewed on Life TV he slipped up and told everyone he was a Muslim and then tried to correct himself saying, he was a Christian. This shows that not only is Obama a Liar, he is a Liberal Muslim.
Political Cartoon
Crisis can give candidates something to work on and say that it will be fixed to sway voters. In this cartoon you see a person telling McCain “Sir, You’ve got to get on top of this Economic Crisis, FAST! Before your Running mate field dresses it”. Then you see Sarah Palin climbing on top of a bull, about to “field dress” it. This is showing that McCain should be in more control than Palin but in reality, Palin is even more popular than McCain. The unsaid joke is that Palin grew up in Alaska, going hunting with her father and she is about to “field dress” the Economic Issues. Overall the cartoon is saying that McCain should have more control and should fix Economic issues himself rather than having Sarah Palin do it.
