America jumped off that bandwagon LONG before Obama showed up--its a nice example of an exercise in futility.
NOT a political statement---just an observation of fact.

Seriously, I don't quite understand. Democracy is on the band wagon and is being chased by the Sousaphone player?

On the surface it doesn't say much. Usually these political cartoons beat you over the head with the message by either using a donkey or an elephant or by having one of the characters in the cartoon holding a big sign displaying the message.

Or maybe it's just a lazy political cartoon. I prefer "The Boondocks"...

Just my opinion, that's all.
