The captions in this cartoon is both of the animals saying "He shut down the government" in an arrow pointing to the animal next to them. The elephant represents the Republican Party, and the moose represents the Democratic Party. I determined that by the color of the shirts. I don't think the artist used people because it is saying that political people act like animals. The cartoon is saying that both parties are putting the blame on each other and neither one is taking responsibility for their parties actions. This is relevant in today's politics because before everyone was saying that Bush ruined our economics but now they are saying that President Obama is doing any better as a Democrat. The cartoonist inst biased so it is hard to tell the ideology of the person.
