I don't understand that cartoon. Where's the joke/statement? Sure, I know about him strapping his dog to the roof of his car. And I know about Romney implementing a health care program in Mass. and Obama largely copied it for Obama care, and now Romney is changing his tune and criticizing Obamacare.

But what's the joke in the cartoon? Are liberals complaining about Romneycare? (I don't think so.)

Now that I think about it, I think the joke must be that Romney's treatment of Obamacare, which is similar to Romneycare, is a lot like his treatment of his dog years ago, and liberals don't like the hypocrisy, but they are just liberals, so ha ha.

It's a weak cartoon, but it gives the cartoonist a chance to remind everyone of Romney strapping a dog to the roof, and I think that was the main point of it. Which is kind of lame for a cartoon.

Now I'm tempted to just delete this post instead of posting it, but what the hell. *shrug*
