Monday Matters #8

          Peggy Noonan made her position on society and government very clear. She states the citizens of America are being lied to, the government has problems, and Barack Obama isn't doing a good enough job for our country. In the political cartoon, Lied To You, it supports Peggy Noonan's position.  What is in the political cartoon is America's leader, Barack Obama. He is giving the State of the Union Address except under that caption there are the words "This guy lied to you about Obama Care, Benghazi, jobs" In the background there are two congressman listening as well.
          The cartoon has some of the lies that Barack Obama has claimed. Peggy wouldn't be considered Barack Obama's number one fan. Stating what he lied about helps her argument. The word "lie" also goes into her argument of our own government lying to us for the greater good or to save themselves from people hearing the gritty truth. In the background there are two congressman sitting. Those two people could possibly be a republican and a democrat. beforehand she argued against the two parties and how democrats need reformation rather than going after republicans. This political cartoon does a very fine job of explaining Peggy Noonan's position. This is an example of how pictures are worth a thousand words.
