- Description
President Obama looks less than overjoyed as he talks by phone to the President of China, Hu Jintao. On the wall nearby is a large copy of an American one dollar note with the head of Mr Hu on it. President Obama says 'I think China will like the deal I've negotiated, Mr Hu! Context: The cartoon is about the resolution of the US debt crisis. Barack Obama has reached an agreement with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders aimed at ending the US debt deadlock that threatened to throw the US and world economy into chaos. He has announced a deal on raising the debt ceiling with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders. The deal will raise the country's debt ceiling by about $2.4 trillion and cut federal spending about $2.5tn, much of which is almost certain to come from welfare benefits which has sparked an immediate backlash from the left of the Democratic party. (Guardian 1 August 2011) Presumably the cartoon is suggesting that the money for the top-up will come from China.
