Best Question Ever...


Cartoon courtesy of John Darkow of the Columbia Daily Tribune
~~~
To reiterate: 
Why would anyone want to be president?
~
Can you possibly imagine being willing to take over this mess?
Whoever does (and I do have my unspoken vote already cast),
May they be well enough learned to have the ability to correct, 
And then sustain this great country of ours.
~

Funny thing - I'm usually not overly moved by political cartoons. I enjoy the heck out of the ones I understand, but a lot of them are just too much for me to analyze in the short term. However, this Mr Darkow...he is good!  The only other time I've felt moved enough to publish a P.C. here, the artist turned out to be the one and only Mr. Darkow. Imagine that! We fellow Columbians...such brilliant minds! (Well, at least  Mr. Darkow's mind is.)

  1. The benefits must be good, otherwise why would they...maybe it's the free healthcare!

  3. and dont forget PAYING MILLIONS to get a job that pays little (compairativly speaking)... Somehow I am not so sure the "perks"are worth it... but this too I have wondered often!

  5. Great cartoon and great question! I would love to actually hear them answer it. I can not imagine what makes anyone want the job or even think they can do the job! It's scary beyond belief.

  6. My fear is whoever is elected will have the same overwhelming feeling as any woman has as she is driving to the hospital to deliver her first baby...."I don't think I really want to do this..."

  7. indeed. still, it's quite a dizzying position to hold. quite a lot of power there.

  8. Indeed. Perhaps it's the perks. Or maybe the fact that whoever wins will have a body guard for the rest of their lives, lol. They usually need it. Which brings us back to the same question...

    Why would anyone want that position unless they were on a total ego/power trip? Uh-Huh....

  9. I've always said that if anyone was stupid enough to want to take over such a job, they probably do not have enough sense to do it well.
