he's saying that he doesn't know any of them when he got ideas, thoughts, and have worked or was working with them and now are not working with Obama. he doesn't even want to know america thats sad:(

I think the cartoon is a little funny because it's ture. We know who we elected for a president but then again, we won't know that much about who they really are. I think that we should know just a little more background before we ever pick a president.

This cartoon shows that even after working with these people for a certain period of time or was connected to them in some way, he claims he doesn't know them or he forgot about them. This cartoon is showing that we, (America) don't know Obama as well as we think we do.
Raychel v.
this shows that obama does not know that much about America and America does not know much about him.

This cartoon is confusing and that obama doesnt want to be known in America. Mitchell Powers
The people that Mr. Obama says he doesn't know is absolute crap. I only really know about Rev. Wright. Who is a black supremacist who is against America with his speech that yells "GOD DAMN AMERICA!!!!" and Mr. Obama attended that church for 20 years Mr. Obama says Rev. Wright is a close family friend that gives him advice on certain topics and MR. Obama donated $50,000 to that church so you can't say that church and that man doesn't mean something to him.
E.T.
i think we should know more back ground about them
ethanf
I think it is saying that Obama is not in touch with America and as a result we don't know him as well as we should.
Dan Laine Per.3
This cartoon is showing him with all different people that he has associated with in his life, such as Reverend White who was his preacher for 20 years and was a hard core RACIST. Another image was a terrorist respondible for the Ohio Bomings. The last image is of America and he of course " doesn't know him"
- K Pearson
i agree with m. king that we know who we elect but the question is do we really know who they are?!?!
Justin Torres
I agree with M. King because you honestly dont know who the president you pick really it for all you know he could be a bad person running just to make bad decisions and put our country n a bad position.
Eric Gorodn
Per.3
I TOALLY agree with K Mello, Obama probably doesn't know that much about America and vice versa (however you spell it).
rachelle.
per. 7
I think that this cartoon is saying what type of people Obhama goes around with and i think we need to learn some more backround information about him and McCain before we elect one for presidnet. I know the revrand that would preach at Obhama's church is a rasistice.
Samantha Brien period5
well i kind of agree with the cartoon that we may need to know just a little more of the presidents backround before we elect them.
Geoff Stanley
I agree with m. king and Justin torres we need more info.
C Soito
well i dont really agree with what some people are saying,
but i do think that we need to learn more about obama mostly if hes going to run our country.
J.BURNSY! (:

I agree with jess because some people don't even know his ideas and they just assume things..and people don't take the time to listen, and this si important\

i pretty much is saying tat they dont think that even though he works with these people he dosent no them like he should.

i didnt really understand what the cartoon was trying to say.
brittney f :)
it saying that we need to get to know our presidents more before we elect them. so they want us to know obama more before we elect him to be our new pres so we dont make a mistake.
alex salois
All of these men worked for Obama during his campain.
Nick Q.
Obama has been aquainted with the people he is trying to distance himself from. Personally i think the only reasonable accusation is that Obama was in Reverand Wright's parish for 20 years.the last image in the comic is trying to say that America doesn't know Obama well enough to support him as president.
Zach Tavares
This show that we dont know who our president is as a person. we know them as a politician. maybe we need to find out who they are as a person.
Alec Main The Great Of Period Dos
ok i cam say he ABSOLUTELY knows Rev. Write Because he was Obamas for over the past 20 years!!!!!!! and he is a Domestic Terrorist due to the fact that he is completely against half the country. Calling America the "US of KKK A"
And wow hes a idiot, LOOK at who tour talking about DINGBAT

Just because Obama knew them and talked with them doesn't mean he believes in being a radical. I think that some people overreact to these people and therefore call Obama a terrorist..
Eric Loureiro
To tired to fight but have to say that this article is showing that Obama denies having dealt with these people. GUYS HES NOT BAD JUST FOR ASSOCIATING WITH THESE PEOPLE WHOM HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW VERY WELL.

http://www.suntimes.com/news/watchdogs/757340,CST-NWS-watchdog24.article
Obama is saying that he doesnt know these people that he has talked to in his life before.
Then America says that he doesnt know Obama which is stating that Obama must not be well known enought to become a president.
TStrange!
I think this cartoon is about how we dont even take the time to get to know our presidents.
R.Barreira
This cartoon is saying that Obama is denying the fact that he knows the people. I agree with Danny Candeias that just because he may or may not associate with these people does not make him a bad person or lesser of a candidaate.

period 5
Obama is saying in this cartoon that he has not seen or associated with any of these men, even though in fact he has.
~Brooke Renaud
Period 5
It's showing that when people Obama has once been acquainted with become inconvienient for him to know, he pretends he has never known them. Honestly, he has somewhat done that, especially with the Reverend.
-Heather Mello
i dont get it at all and i dont know any one in the cartoon except obama.
emilyhorner
i agree with kenny and megan the cartoon is funny but if we are to put a knew person in the position of the president the i think that they should know more people and they need to be social and they are going to be a person that has inside sources for help in the political field
ryanm per3
he is saying that he doesnt know anyone that is beside him
jgracia
period 4
i too think that we should know more about the people that we Associate with
Hannah Wilson
I agree with Megan because yeah, we can elect a president or favor a president, but you dont actyally know what they're really like, you dont actually know them. they'll obviously say a lot of things to make you vote for them, but it could all change once you have chosen the president

William Ayers is a professer of education , university of Illinoise Chicago. Tony Rezko IS A real estate devloper, american citizen, also Rezko contrubuted to Obamas campaign when obama was embarking on his carrier.Rev Jeremiah wright is an african american supremacist who made controversal statments, and also is a pastor. He talkes about urban poverty, apartheid and the sub prime mortugage crisis , he hated America because he thinks that it is doing bad things to the citizens like drugs.
Franklin Rains is a white house budget director , he has to do with businness and goverment
I think america is the guy who says we want you in the army, Im not sure who or what he is.

This cartoon shows tht Obama doesnt really know alot about people and the world and we dont really know a lot about him.
Justin Costa Period 2
i dont really understand the cartoon but i think it has something to do with how much we know about our presidents.
sam bed
William Ayers- a former member of the weatherman group.
I think this man does not have any deffinite relation to obama. They have probably meet and know each other but they're not biffels.
..."$200 contribution by Ayers to the Obama re-election fund, and their joint membership of the eight-person Woods Fund Board. Ayers did not respond to e-mails and telephone calls requesting clarification of the relationship. Obama spokesman Bill Burton noted in a statement that Ayers was a professor of education at the University of Illinois and a former aide to Mayor "

): !!!!!!!!
k valcorba / period seven
This cartoon makes a clear point.... Obama has huge ears. Don't get me wrong, i support him, but we don't know if what he says is true, and if we can trust him. The same goes for every other politician. Uncle Sam was the true father of America!

that cartoon is really funny and it could be the funniest thing i have seen all day long
Trevor sirois
i dont get it
sdonzzzz
that was hilarious in english sam that was a good move ethan we should tell everyone
I agree with Daniel. He doesn't know them but he has very good ideas.
Pat Pickering
this cartoon is saying that obama doesnt have expeirence..thats all
bye
--Bacon
the cartoon is saying that he used to work with them but now doesn't. obama is sad that he doesnt want to know america.
-Connor Perry-
HAHAHAHA!!!! I LOVE this one!!!!! It's making fun of Obamma and his denial of who he's politically associated. GO MCCAIN!!
Monique Lemay Period 3
I think this cartoon shows that Obama dcesnt know much about america and doesnt want to.
Sam Thornley
this cartoon shows how much we really dont know about each of the electives and that we need to know more.
Carissa Quaglia:)
The cartoon shows people he's accoiated with before, and how he doesn't know them. I guess it's saying how no matter what they seem like you still don't know who they really are. Then it shows that Obama doesn't know America.
Mike Salhany
period 2
lol.. The cartoons of those people are humorous.. anyways I'm not surprised that Obama doesn't know much of anyone. he did seem to pop out of know where and be thrown in with all these big names. ether way it doesn't mean just because he doesn't know those people that he will be a bad president.
