This political cartoon is picture of President Jimmy Carter telling 3 dictators to embrace in a group hug. All three dictators, which include Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin who led the country of Germany, are pictured as sullen and grimacing; they are clearly unwilling to acknowledge each other. President Carter is pictured as oblivious to the obvious tension of the three men. This was drawn in order to picture the naivete of Carter, just as he was when he brought together the President of Egypt and the President of Israel into an agreement where neither would fight the other. This was drawn by cartoonist Jerry Herbert.
The political cartoon above depicts a translation of the Middle East talks that President Carter. The mechanic comments on the obvious stall of the car, which is missing basically all of the parts to make it run, yet assures the owner that eventually it will. Like the talks, it would obviously take time, yet it would take too much time to do the things they want. It is making fun of the talks and the absurdity of them. This was drawn by cartoonist Jerry Herbert.
The image above depicts a talk between Carter and Fidel Castro, former dictator of the country of Cuba. It shows the obvious evil done by Castro yet Carter is still surprised by his action. The picture was published by cox and forkum.
These three political cartoons depict just how naive President Carter was during his term, which would ultimately result in his unpopularity among Americans.
