I'll try again; your examples are direct analogies, metaphors, and depictions.

The NYP toon has no direct reference to Obama at all.

That's the difference, in this case, between 'explicit' and 'implicit'... and it's still a stretch to say that the toon in any way implicates Obama any more than it does either congress or the bill alone. In fact, the reference to the bill is explicit, and it implies that the bill was poorly written.


If you don't know or can't tell the difference between explicit and implicit, then there's no point.

Believe what you will despite the lack of substance.
