Obama&Bush

Bush's days are over, but they left us revealing images behind. Errol Morris has compiled some of them accompanied by their respective author's opinions. My favorite is the one shown above; the shadows couldn't be more Democrat... This time, the dark side is not the black side.

BTW. If you didn't know Morris' blog at the NYT, go and have a look. But most importantly, if you haven't seen his documentary films, watch them. Especially, The Fog of War, The Thin Blue Line and the bizarre Gates of Heaven.

UPDATE:

Pop culture's artifacts as reminders of those days (1) Ben & Jerry's ice-cream tribute to Obama "YES PE-CAN" and (2) The monument to the catapulting shoe.

The photos of Bush are great - there are so many classic shots, like the hand written note to Condoleezza Rice asking permission to go to the bathroom.
I'm going to add Moris' blog to me newsfeed.

The one of the note to Condolezza is excellent, yeah.
It is a pitty that Morris does not update his blog more frequently... but I guess he's busy doing his films...

Lupa: glad you like them (I hope it was me who had shoot them!) (GOOD TO SEE YOU AROUND AGAIN!)
