I can't help but think the cartoonist should have added some wit or cleverness to accompany his characterizations of the two candidates. He might just as well as labeled the two characters as "Obama, The Good Person" and "Romney, The Bad Person."
I don't expect the cartoonist to be indifferent between the two candidates and avoid indicating his preference, but there has to be a better way to do that than to have one candidate shout "nice" things and the other candidate shout "mean" things in response.
What do you expect? Ivey is an old lefty hack.The primitive directness of this bit of work is right out of a union rally, or perhaps it's a taste of progressive propaganda for unsophisticated school kids. "I like to help people", indeed! Actually putting those words in your candidate's mouth. That's pathetic, or desperate.

Have you never read Oliphant? Or Conrad?
