The candadites are more focused on winng the race then alctural adressing the grim reality experenced by the citizens. An examble of this would be an political cartoon with a box that has McCain saying" I said "change" 10 time today.", and Obama saying" I said "change" 20 times today." This proves that the candidtes want votes so much that they compete about how many times they say the word "change". With another box that has a man holding an unempolment sign on and holding a cup saying" I said "change" 300 times today. This is an example of the grim reality of citizen and the problems indicting that no matter how many times the word "change" is said it doesn't matter. Political candidates are showen as people wanting votes rather then helping the people.
