What claim is each cartoon or photo m What background information about the problems of these cartoons and photo assume? What Network of issues do these visual texts suggest? What puzzling questions do these visual texts raise for you?

Barack Obama has inherited a bit of troubles from the Bush administration. The political cartoon is showing that while Bush was president, he caused problems in economy and trouble in the east, and when Obama became president he was the one who has to deal with the problems that Bush didn’t. Normally passing on the torch is a good term, but in this case Obama had to handle the flames that Bush created in our economy and middle eastern problems. Some of the puzzling questions is how should Obama fix this problem? Should Bush be the reason for the problems and not Obama? Can these problems be fixed?

 * Argumentum ad hominem ** is the logical fallacy of attempting to undermine a speaker's argument by attacking the speaker instead of addressing the argument. Person A makes claim X. Person B makes an attack on person A. Therefore person A’s claim is false. Ad hominem is ethos.

This is an example of ad hominem because he is attacking the person making the argument instead of the argument itself.
