Interesting Political Cartoon

This cartoon caught my attention when I was on Google, and I thought it would make a good topic for a blog. Every presidential candidate always criticizes the last president during the election, saying that they have done so badly in handling the country. The candidates always say that they can fix all the problems the last president created and put the country back on its feet. The candidate always tries to make himself out to be a hero against the terrible former president. Every president has to deal with the mess that the last one made, and each one is trying to do their best. I personally think it is ridiculous and completely immature how the candidates trash the former presidents. George Bush had to deal with president Clinton's policies and his problems while dealing with September 11. George did not carry problems into the United States, but he was surely handed them in the very beginning of his first term of his presidency. I am not against George Bush, but I do not believe that he was a perfect president either. I think he did his best and did as good as anyone else could have done in his place. George Bush is a man just like everyone else, therefore he makes mistakes like everyone else. I believe that he did his best to protect this country and serve the people of the United States. I realize that everyone has the freedom of speech and can say almost whatever they think, and that this freedom is very important to our country, but I do not feel that everything is appropriate or is constructive criticism.

  1. I love your thoughts on this political cartoon. You are so right in the fact that the new presidential canidate always says that he can fix all the problems of the nation. No one is perfect, but politicians really lower the glass ceiling.
