Mark Fiore's animated short is a review of the Republican Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees view of the economic status of our country. It seems unlikely that he is a supported of Senator McCain or Governor Palin. What seems most probable is that Fiore would prefer the other side to win the White House race. He was demonstrating his opinion about McCain and Palin's knowledge of complex economic problems that every American is having to deal with. His opinion of these two seems very low.
A good guess would be that he does not believe Senator McCain or Governor Palin do not have qualified experience to solve our current economic issues. He supports his arguement very well with the use of McCain and Palin's own words. It's just too bad an informed opinion cannot be gained from the use of 6 quotables. Although the cartoons intent is very clear, it still only appeals to one subset of people, non-Republicans.
Fiore repeatedly uses quotes from McCain that have him saying, "...the fundamentals of our ecomony are strong." Mixing this quote with images of banking institution collapse and housing foreclosures embues the audience with an imbalanced system. But, the fundamentals are strong. Although they will be the ones to bail us out, it wasn't politicians who created the current state of our economy, but business practices that did not adhere to our countries economic fundamentals. As a point of criticism, greed does not have a party affiliation, and this hiccuough was created by greed.
