Rhetorical Analysis
I this it shows President Obama golfing. When you look closer and actually read what he is saying and read the flag you start to gab the message. Now this could definitely be interpreted in a few different ways. From the Republicans point of view he will realize that when you say fore while golfing it normally means that you have hit the ball towards a crowd of people or towards a person, and someone is about to have a bad day if they get hit with the ball. So with that in the back of your mind when you read the the flag say "more years" on it, a Republican will get nervous with the thought of that. If you are democratic you may just look at this image and think, wow this is a creative picture. If they figure out the actual meaning behind this picture a Democratic would be very offended.

I agree with your analysis of the picture, especially when you said that Democrats would be offended by this picture! From my perspective, it looks like the picture is saying Obama is swinging for an election that isn't in his favor. This seems more apparent when the flag that says more years is right in front of him, yet the ball is heading towards the people, which means that the people getting hit with the ball (in this case the 2012 election)are in for a rude awakening. This makes me think that the author thinks that Obama's chance of winning the 2012 election isn't very good.
