Political Cartoon Chris Christie
I analyzed a political cartoon from the Star Ledger about Chris Christie and his race for becoming president. The political cartoon shows Christie and a man, who is probably his campaign manager. His manger is telling him that his run isn’t doing well, that he is low on money to continue to support his campaign, and that he should probably go back to New Jersey. He is saying this because Christie only got one percent support in the recent debate, and with his he was disqualified from this debate. Christie is replying to his manager’s remarks with a negative attitude, saying that he doesn’t want to return to New Jersey, claiming that New Jersey is “a mess”. The reason that New Jersey is a mess is because its governor hasn’t done a good job in

    The film described two mayor candidates used different approach to run the mayoral campaign in Newark, New Jersey. Sharp James, who was the 16-year incumbent mayor, had been possessed tremendous power in the city. Whereas Cory Booker, who was the upstart challenger in the race, decided to win the race by using “influence” strategy. At the beginning of the movie, it clearly shows different campaign style of two candidates. The movie started with the scenario that Cory Booker went to one of the highest poverty level neighborhood to gain people’s support. In comparison, Sharp James easily convened many of his supporters to advertise his reelection campaign at the beginning. In the following paragraphs, I will analyze how these two candidates use different approach for their mayoral campaign.…

    At the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, both the United States and global economy plunged into crisis. During the prosperity, authorities of each country try not to disturb the economy. On the other hand, over recession, those authorities try different ways to strengthen the economy. Governor of New Jersey, seen through the eyes of Matt Bai, in “How Chris Christie Did His Homework”, and David Leonhardt in his article: “Union Contracts, Not Pay, Are States’ Problem” presents their “toolkits” how to fix the economy. As a United States citizen, who grew up in a different country and came to Land of Liberty with shaped economical view, I agree with Christie’s and Leonhardt’s ideas, aimed at cut unnecessary benefits, decentralization of power, and eliminate irrational expenditure.…

    Because this takes place at a primary debate, Christie and Paul each want to convince Republicans to vote to award him the Republican nomination and, in turn, to elect him president. The exchange comes after Christie is asked a question about a statement he had made that Paul should be considered partly responsible for any terrorist attack that occurs in the US in the future because of his role in weakening the programs that Snowden revealed. After Christie reaffirms…

    The political cartoon that you chose was quite expressive and a relevant topic in today’s society. I agree with your analysis regarding this political cartoon and you were able to fully understand all aspects that Gary Varvel was trying to portray. You were able to express how the words and the font played a role into the tone of this cartoon. However, the cartoon makes me want to know why Joe Donnelly, was abandoning ship from the Democrats. As you mentioned the pirate’s flag on the ship, it makes an individual believe that the democrats are consider to be bad. Moreover, could it be that Donnelly did not want to get in trouble, so instead of facing the consequences that he deserved to receive, he fled? Also, the cartoon makes it seem that…

    The current Texas Governor, Rick Perry, announced his candidacy for President on August 13, 2011, and looks like he is in line for the number one spot in the 2012 Presidential Campaign. Perry, a committed conservative, grew up in a small, rural town called Paint Creek, where he worked on the family farm, played football and was a dedicated Boy Scout. Perry actually went to Texas A&M University and was an Aggie Yell Leader for the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets, graduating with the class of ‘72. Perry then enlisted in the Air Force, but was honorably discharged 5 years later with the rank of Captain. Perry went back to his home town and ended up marrying his high school sweetheart, and a few short years after had a son and daughter. After Perry went on to serve three terms in the House of Representatives, he took the spot of Agriculture Commissioner and served two terms there. Perry then ran for Lieutenant Governor of Texas and two years later became Governor, when George W. Bush resigned to become President.

    Cory Booker

    Recently, Newark Mayor Cory Booker has been all over the news media. The Democrat is mayor in a city that is home to corporate giants such as Prudential Financial and PSEG. The city also boasts a list of cultural venue centers such as the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the Prudential Center, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, etc. However, it’s not the success or improvement of his city that has allowed him to gain a national reputation. Rather, it has been his consistent personal involvement in people’s lives. For example, he has lived on a “food stamp” budget to illustrate the importance of food insecurity, shoveled the driveway of a constituent based upon their request, rescuing a dog from freezing winter weather, saving a woman from a house fire at his own risk, etc. Therefore, given all of this information, understand that when Cory Booker makes any rumbling about future political ambitions, Washington D.C. and his own constituents listen hard.…

    Historically, Montclair is very Democratic, bordering on Socialistic. Residents of Montclair remember a caller on WFAN radio: Mike from Montclair. In September of last year, Mike and insulted Governor Chris Christie (who was hosting the radio show that day) for using a beach that was closed to the public. Christie dismissed the caller as just another “communist from Montclair”. This incident drew attention from many news outlets, including Deadspin, Barstool Sports, the NY Daily news, among others. That sole incident is just one example of Montclair’s notoriously liberal politics. Due to this, any right-wing viewpoints are generally disregarded entirely. That is one of the few aspects of Montclair that have not been that great. There are very few people who I know in this town who I know who are Republican, and even fewer students at Montclair High School are Republican. When we talk about politics in our classes in school, rarely is the other side looked at. For example, we had Brendan Gill from Phil Murphy’s campaign come in and speak to CGI, but Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno was not…

    The Candidate

    In the movie “The Candidate” I thought that the film was very interesting to me, being a person that has never been interested in politics. I found it interesting even though I am not for sure if this is the way that campaigns are run now. I thought it was nice to see how some candidates may be chosen, especially in this film because he was not expected to win the election. He was not even interested in politics although his father was once governor. The film showed how the campaign was ran and managed by his advisors. Although not expected to win the election, he somehow surprisingly, pulls it off and when he does, he is left wondering “ What do we do now?”…

    Political Cartoon

    By glancing at this political cartoon, I simply see a picture that denotes a human watering the dry dirt and plants. On a closer look, the picture depicts a war between the United States and Iraq. On the top right corner, Uncle Sam’s hand is watering the plant and ground by using a watering can. Since this is a war, the powerful and nonstop water flow that is coming out of the water can represents the fire power that the United States is using in hope of winning the war. The whole country of Iraq is being drawn inside the perimeter of the watering can, which means that the U.S. is targeting the whole country, not just a specific area within Iraq. By drawing a huge hand of Uncle Sam’s while comparing it to the tiny Iraqis soldiers, this also illustrates the differences in power and authority. On the left, middle half of the picture, the fire powers are pouring down on the country and overwhelmed them. Despite this strong force, the stubborn Iraqis soldiers are not giving up that easily as they strike back as seen in the lower bottom half of the picture. In this picture, the soldiers are playing peekaboo by hiding inside the plant and only show half of their body when shooting back at Uncle Sam. Their M-16s are pointing straight up at Uncle Sam as they resist back and trying to protect their own country. These Iraqis know that they cannot win against the U.S. in the open, so they use stealth as their strategy.…
