Below is an animation that I spent a long time trying to make this evening. It really didn’t work out as intended, but since frustration on all sides seems part of the tone of the day, it seemed fitting to post anyway.
It is probably not such a good idea to make political cartoons when you are truly not a political person! (Yes, I am very sympathetic to the President. But I try to be sympathetic to individuals on many sides of the political spectrum.)
But I was especially struck today by how much the presidency has aged Obama (as it seems to age every president). This week seems to have aged him particularly.
The funny looking Aladdin’s lamp in the video is supposed to be a tea pot, symbolizing you know what.
In the version that is easier to see, Obama’s hair color changes from black to a light grey. Here I’m afraid that doesn’t really work. What can I say–I’m learning. So, I guess, are we all.
