With the 2008 American presidential race on its feet, the whole world waits in anticipation for the next leader of the United States. In this time of great decision it is important to look back on the criticisms and accomplishments of the last eight years. When it comes to criticism, no party is safe from political commentator and cartoonist Pat Oliphant.
His self-titled "confrontational art" attacks giant issues such as the war in Iraq, Kim Jong II's nuclear antics, the tragedy in Darfur, the political response to Hurricane Katrina, and the fishy network of politics that is the United States government. Oliphant fearlessly proclaims acts of the government under the rule of George W Bush as unjust and criticises American voters for blindly following a flawed administration. Oliphant is not afraid to make a bold statement with his cartoons, and he has reaped great respect among political cartoonists of the world for doing so.
