Journal 8


I liked this satire because of its sarcastic feel. It works because it is categorizing the policy changes, during the Obama Administration, as being Communist. This contrasts with President Obama’s Presidential campaign in which he stood for more freedom and communicated his strong belief in capitalism.

Mr. President in the egg shows the lack of freedom for both people and signifies the nationalization of various ‘iconic’ American Brands. “Fascist World Government” contradicts with America’s belief in Democracy and Free Market. The ‘goats’ signify the blind faith in Obama, and Obama being a ‘shepherd.’

All the characteristics make this a very funny and persuasive satire, which depicts a lot of information.
