The graphic above is a cultural view of candidates from
America’s two main political parties.
From left to right, the pictures are from an Obama
speech in Hatfield, Pennsylvania on 11/30/2012 (photo by Jason Reed of Reuters), a Huffington Post article from
11/20/2012, and an Obama
speech in Redford, Michigan on 12/10/2012 (photo by Romain Blanquart of the
Detroit Free Press).
Two of the pictures feature adoring Americans.
The picture on the left shows Americans hugging president
Obama after he spoke about raising taxes on the rich. The picture on the right shows Americans
cheering president Obama after he spoke about right-to-work laws being unfair.
The middle picture is described by The Huffington Post as “A Humbled Mitt Romney Caught Pumping Gas.”
Our culture seems to present pictures of Republicans and
Democrats in a slightly different context.
