The picture starts off with a tiny buggy car where clowns would all traditionally fit inside and then come out. On the car, it says " 2012 GOP Presidential Hopefuls" : the funny part about the picture, is that the people identified as the clowns are Donald trump, Michelle Bachmann, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, and Sarah Palin. When they exit the car and greet the head man in charge of the new comers ( defined as a man in a suit with the head of an elephant, which correlates to Republican GOP coordinator or head) he says, "no, seriously..." to sum up the cartoon, none of the hopefuls give off a sense of a serious, or respectable sense of running for presidency. And isMike keefe wrong to depict otherwise? if you go on any single report on the five would-be candidates, you would notice that the media has absolutley no repect whatsoever for any of these people, and have all indeed been referred to as "clowns" in the eye of the American people. As the tea party is becoming even larger in political strength, their respect in goverment has only declined, and the people who look forawrd to the run in 2012 can only say, "Are you serious?"
In class there hasn't been much discussion on these top prospects for the 2012 GOP presidency, however the common consenus of the room totally opposes Sarah Palin, who, out of the five clowns, has probably the best chance of winning as of right now, if not Donald Trump out of the five, which really isn't saying much.
