Obamacare: A Political Cartoon Draws Blood

My secret fantasy is to be a great political cartoonist, since these masters of political advocacy can paint an a polemic picture that truly is worth more than a thousand words. I think the cartoon to the left is a good example of the genre. It really scores because the image of the president looking over the shoulder of the doctor, nay, invading her space, captures the reason so many Americans have great doubts over Obamacare. Plus, the caricature of the president works. Bravo.
