Cartooning: The 2013 Government Shutdown 1 | Page 27

Whose side are we on, anyways?

The government shutdown had President Obama pointing fingers at congress, congress pointing fingers at President Obama, and the nation pointing fingers at both. It was a shutdown that will forever be remembered as the "who'd donit".

In the end, the cartoons depicted through exaggaration and symbolism how frustrated the American people were and still are with how the government handled the government shutdown.
