Oh, too funny! I had to visit google to discover this: President Obama is left-handed. Considering that most people are right-handed, the artist’s choice to use a left-handed glove only adds to the irony.
Or maybe it IS a political statement. The face on the glove could be intended symbolize a “ghost,” which would allude to Adam Smith’s “invisible hand.” The fact that the glove is removed suggests that there is a literal, physical entity which truly controls the hand.
Perhaps this simple cartoon is suggesting that supply and demand is no longer a legitimate economic reality.
(As a side note, it’s ironic that the artist chose to use a silhouette for the hand in the shower…which may suggest “who” is truly the “invisible hand’s” puppeteer?)
