Remember all the awful pictures of President Bush? \u00a0Even when the media was not being blatant, they would show him trying to look dignified on a blustery day or after an awkward question, and side by side or following was a picture of some democrat with a hale and hearty appearance, jaw set and brow stern. \u00a0If you pay attention to color balance, even without knowing the exact problem, you could see that there was a problem. \u00a0Republicans get cold, washed or peaked colors and balances, while democrats get warm, rich, even treatment.<\/p>\n
The right thing for an embattled White House to do \u00a0is suffer the slings and arrows of the first amendment, roll with the punches or avoid them if necessary. \u00a0At least the Bush administration’s media failures were largely a failure to show up after the first two years, and little wonder. \u00a0Meanwhile, the Obama administration is waging a petty and damaging war against any media portrayal which is not absolutely fawning.<\/p>\n
So. \u00a0If it is bad pictrues and ridicule which this thin-ckinned President fears the most, reacts to the most strongly, then I would be a foll not to go there. \u00a0I am no fool.<\/p>\n
I will post the least flattering pics of the President (not the First Lady, etc) I can find, and heck, I should take up cartooning as well. \u00a0A man so full of fertilizer as myself should prove a fertile ground for artistic ideas.<\/p>\n
Besides, if Daryl Cagle and Sandy Huffaker get to call themselves editorial cartoonists, then the bar is pretty low.<\/p>\n
