In the past, I haven't followed through with too many of my ideas for cartoons based on what has happened around me. This time, however, I really couldn't resist. It was just too absurd and funny- especially the reactions and (mis)interpretations. All I could see in my head was a bunch of mechanical pigs with lipstick on, being wound up by a mischievous elephant and encouraged by another mischievous elephant in a (bad) disguise. Now, I'm not a person who thrives in politics, nor the media circus that surrounds it. I don't like candidates calling each other out for past issues or indiscretions with scathing television and other media campaigns. What is past isn't nearly as much concern to us as where we are now. Why can't the candidates just address the issues that face us all as a nation? Well, I guess that is what Senator Obama was trying to when he spoke those now famous words.
