-The title of the cartoon is Obama-Libya-Campaign statements. We see Obama saying how it is unconstitutional to send troops into other countries without declaring war. Then we see during the Libya situation he sends missiles to create a "No Fly Zone". America's involvement in the Libyan situation is proving to be unnecessary.
-The author is showing how the president can just change his mind about war topics even if the constitutions says other wise. The ironic part of the cartoon is that just four years ago what he is doing now would be unconstitutional by his definitions. Recently we have been talking about the Libyan war so I thought it would be appropriate to talk about his war tactics.
