The comic in this cartoon shows satire in exaggeration the way people now in days are using food stamps that maybe don’t need the help because they are obese and other than that the people in the comic are using the food stamps for foods that aren’t health maybe they need to set more rules about what people can and can’t buy as well as limiting their budgets.

The Comic in this cartoon shows satire is exaggerated in how Obama and Michelle talk about how hard times are. They talk about how tough times are but yet they blow money that’s not necessary to be spending they could be using that money to provide some type of jobs out there or to help out school budgets but instead they are spent in useless selfish ways. 

Satires Examples

I think Both of these verses the song Words i never said are perfect examples of Satire.

(Both Entries from same song)

The Lyrics in the song Satires our schools poor budget funds. “I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets, How much money does it take to really make a full clip, 9/11 building 7, did they really pull it …Uhh, And a bunch of other cover ups Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut .The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up” This uses incongruity to promote the idea that they use more money on war and terror than our schools and when cutting funds Education funding is often the first thing cut in state budgets.

 The Lyrics in this song satires Banks and their loans. “Crooked banks around the World Would gladly give a loan today So if you ever miss payment They can take your home away” This uses exaggeration to promote the  idea that Banks now in days give out loans to unqualified people that they know won’t be able to pay for. Then finally they foreclose your home and you owe all that money they loaned you, plus penalties, and late fees.
