Description: President Obama carries in his hand a document headed 'Debt deal' and sweats as he confesses to his deputy Joe Biden that 'We've suffered a crisis of confidence the like of which won't be seen again unless the All Blacks lose to Australia!!' Context: The cartoon refers to the huge interest in the US debt crisis at the end of July that ended in a deadlock that needed to be broken in order to prevent default on Tuesday 1 August. President Obama at the last hour made a compromise that many believe was weighted heavily in favour of the Republican stance that meant no change to taxation but cuts in public spending. The Rugby World Cup begins in September and the All Blacks are considered favourites but what if they lose? What then? Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
