I can't read the signature on this cartoon so, again, I'm not sure who drew it.
-The cartoon depicts Obama, the current president (duh), pulling a "Tebow", which requires you to take a knee, rest an elbow on your leg, and pray...simple.
-So what is he praying for? Well he is giving thanks for the current "crop of GOP candidates". The reason he is doing this is because the Republican field appears weak, confused and reaching for something that can bring Obama down. It appears, so far at least, that Obama is safe. As more candidates drop out, Obama seems to have more and more of a chance. But at the same time, as the field clears, the GOP support is focused on fewer people.
-The cartoon shows how Obama probably feels right now as he watches the GOP primaries and debates. The general feel both on the GOP and Democrat sides is that the field has no one of great promise. Romney, the past and current frontrunner, is viewed as boring, inconsistant and unable to beat Obama. This cant make Obama feel any worse.
-The cartoon makes fun of both the GOP and Tim Tebow at the same time. "The Tebow Craze" is reaching its end now, but the GOP is getting smaller, and it seems, may be done soon as well.
It does not appear that the artist has a strong bias. If any, it would be a bias against the GOP, but any commentary against the GOP through this cartoon appears to be just a reflection on the general view.
