Political Cartoon Analysis #1

Cartoon: Tom Toles

With President Elect Barack Obama taking such a monstrous victory on November 4th of this year, it comes as no surprise that thousands upon thousands of his supporters will take over D.C. on the days leading up to January 20th (a.k.a. Inauguration Day). Because there are way more tourists coming to the District than hotels can hold, Washingtonians are renting out their basements and spare bedrooms to strangers for massive amounts of dough.

This cartoon by Tom Toles shows exactly that message. It also displays the fact that as Washingtonians are not known for their friendly natures, the only way to make a friend is to let an Obama supporter stay in your home.
