Here is the cartoon:This cartoon is using humor to show how Barack Obama tends to focus on the past regarding the war in Iraq, especially in the presidential debate from Friday. When asked questions about the war he usually talks about how it was a bad idea and he opposed it instead of talking about the present and what needs to be done. In this case, humor is being used to point out a flaw. The author also parodies the popular movie "Back to the Future." This is an effective way to make their point because it is more light-hearted and is not neccessarily attacking Obama, so it should not offend his supporters.

I agree that this is a very humorous cartoon. Obama does tend to focus on the past. He always brings up what Bush has done that he disagrees with. This article is inferring that Obama is speaking about Bush's decisions, and in Obama's speeches he tends to compare McCain and Bush a lot. I thought this was funny.
