Truth, Justice, and the Fenway

Dick Locher, 6/16/11:
I can't do any better than just to try to describe this cartoon: President Obama is Superman, trapped in a phone booth that is also the economy, and he can only be saved by a little tow-headed Red Sox fan with a wiffle bat.

I'm afraid the details of that symbolism is beyond me, but I do like the way Obama's speech balloon snakes into the booth.
