Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Perhaps the most cogent argument yet against the U.S.’s recent airstrikes on Libya comes from a cartoon character. This Xtranormal video, with a decidedly right-leaning point of view, compares President Obama’s decision to bomb Libya with President Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003. With close to 100,000 views since it was loaded four days ago, the argument seems to have struck a chord. Of course, it’s a fairly lopsided debate. The Bush defender here is presented as rational and well-informed while his liberal coworker is pretty dim, brushing aside his objections by noting, “I don’t care. Obama is cool and awesome. His bracket picks were outstanding too,” and declaring that she gets all her news from Saturday Night Live , Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. The cartoon animation and the robotic delivery typical of Xtranormal has a distancing effect, but it also prevents the discussion from becoming too strident. Perhaps this is the way the country will argue amongst itself going forward. Good thing we now have an easy way to do so .
