United States president Barack Obama has been a favourite target of political satire and caricatures. His caricature depicts how he handled the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq. Artists pointed out through caricatures the destructive faces of war. The caricature also clearly mocked the presidency of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The caricatures demonstrated their love of war. Artists reiterated that Bush is a prolific artist of Iraq War while Obama is an accomplish artist for Afghan War.
