Political Cartoon #5

This week's political cartoon shows George W. Bush up to his neck in a sea of his mistakes. You can see that he's messed up with global warming, the war in Iraq, the economy, deficit, civil liberties, Katrina, etc. He's saying that he's leaving office "with his head held high" but only because he's drowning in his flaws. I think that this cartoon well represents what George W. Bush has done and he shouldn't be leaving with his head held too high.

Political Cartoon #4

This week's political cartoon shows George W. Bush with security guards for any shoe attacks that may happen. It shows an assistant telling him that he's now safe from any attacks but the agents have created signs to request certain shoes. This cartoon is a depiction of what happened a few weeks back when an Iraqi journalist took off his shoes and threw them at Bush during an Iraqi Conference meeting with the Prime Minister. It's been said that the shoes are the lowest part of a person's clothing which is why it is disrespectful to wear shoes into the house and that is why the journalist intended to throw them at him. Overall, I thought the event was funny but it wasn't very smart to do that during a meeting.
