This cartoon is directly representing the unclear intentions of President Obama as he proceeds with military operations in Libya to restore order and stop Moammar Gadhafi's murdering of his own people while the country is being ravaged by civil war and unrest. Obama has undergone sending warships and miniscule amounts of ground forces into Libya, as well as being part of the instatement of a No-Fly Zone over Libyan airspace to prevent Gadhafi from bombing his own people. Many questions have been raised regarding Obama's plan for action and what his true intentions are in getting involved in Libya. Outrage has been expressed because Obama went into action while Congress was in recess, meaning that he pretty much did it without consulting anyone about it and this action has brought him much criticism in recent weeks. The artist is trying to illustrate that Obama's intentions regarding Libya are very hazy and unclear, as if they were enveloped by a fog.
