This political cartoon, is a humorous poke at the recent contraversy between republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. Hilary Rosen (democratic activist/the president's advisor) recently released some comments targeting Mitt Romney's wife Ann Romney.
On the April 11, 2012, during an appearance on CNN, Rosen commented on the difficulties faced by women in a slow economy, and the Romney campaign's claim that Barack Obama's presidency was bad for women, These were her comments:
"What you have is Mitt Romney running around the country saying, 'Well, you know my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues and when I listen to my wife that's what I'm hearing.' Guess what? His wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school and why do we worry about their future."
These comments did not sit well with the Obama camp or the Romney camp. However none the less, both the republican and democratic representatives have to try to get voters on their side early. This particular cartoon is focused on women voters. The statue of liberty is the "prom date of choice for both Barack and Mitt. I guess we'll see who gets to go with her in November.
