The political cartoon I picked is created by Tom Toles from The Washington Post. The picture clearly features Laura and George Bush leaving with their bags packed while The White House is burning with "Global Warming" written in the flames. Laura Bush asks "George, did you remember to turn the stove off?" and his atonishing reply is "Off??"
What I interpreted from this cartoon is that nothing that President Bush did helped to stop global warming and if anything, his policies and reforms just contributed to it. It shows that his irresponsibility led to the burning down of The White House and the flames polluting the air is further contributing to global warming. I think it is funny how Toles drew Laura Bush much larger than George, who is portrayed as a tiny rabbit-looking character. Maybe this is also showing how over the last several months, Laura Bush has been much more active in the country than our own President. Way to show him up!
