Put Information here:Kevin and Cara (Likes Ice-Cream!) (:P-K P.S. Jason is a weirdo Currently Obama is the president of the United States. He has promised us a better economy and better job acceptance rates, and etc. All this inexperienced president did so far is actually put us in a heavy state of debt and is working towards a recession



Andrew Carnegie helped out many libraries. During his lifetime, he donated more than 40 million dollars to libraries in the United States. Along with helping libraries, he also contributed to world peace. The cartoon

shows Carnegie playing with blocks, like a little kid, but it shows that he has helped many children by donating money to other libraries in the United States.



Boss Tweed was the third biggest land owner in New York City. Tweed was also elected to be in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was convicted of stealing between 30 million and 200 million dollars from tax payers of New York. This cartoon

shows all of these people pointing to each other about who stole the money. They

all point to Tweed, because of his theft of millions of dollars.



Thomas Nast was a cartoon artist, and he made cartoons very big. In this picture that he drew, he is showing Boss Tweed, and saying that he is only thinking of money, and that because of his greed, he went to jail for stealing millions of money from tax payers of New York. Nast is considered to be the "Father of the American Cartoon".



John D. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company, and became the world's richest man at the time, and became the first billionaire. His stock started to grow very quickly because gasoline grew in importance. This cartoon shows Rockefeller on a barrel of oil, holding the world and wearing a crown, showing that he has a lot of power and wealth.

This Four slide political cartoon explains how bad our debt/future president is. When thinking hard about what this really means, it basically explains how Inexperienced Obama really is. He didn't know that he really doesn't gain much for being a senator/future president.

Both McCain and Obama both have their advantages. They also have their disadvantages. Basically they are the same so people really didn't care about this election as much as previous ones!

J.P. Morgan was an American financier who was very important, who organized many merges. This cartoon shows that Morgan him looking like the he's in charge. The papers that he is throwing to the ground say things like "American Merger" and "Important RR Merger", because he was in charge of many important merges of that time.
