This is George W. Bush and his side of the argument :-P

Hrm . . . I can't really think of a nice way to say this: if you're going to draw a caricature of someone, it actually needs to look like the person in question.  If you hadn't told us, I'd have absolutely no idea that that was meant to be Bush.

I like the mixture of photo-background and cartoon figure, though.

Yeah, it was really weird. I tried and tried again to make it look like Bush, but I don't know, it just didn't turn out well.
Thanks for the response :)

take a look at a photo of bush more, you'll see some important detail, Bush has thinner hair, his eyes' tiny, almost dot-like, and he have a rounder football-like face.

edited: when I says football, I meant football, not American football

And his nose should be small and turned up and he has really big ears and a small chin. The president is supposed to be the most powerful man in the country, this means it is your duty as a cartoonist to make him look like a chimpanzee. Chimpanzees are important.

Hehe, yes, chimpanzees are a very big contribution to society, how could I have been so blind as to not aknowledge this fact. And as I was drawing this I did glance at some pictures of Bush and I tried to capture as much of his facial features as possible. But the thin hair thing is very hard to do unless I did more of a realistic drawing. And I personally think that I made him look too young.

Thanks for the contributions, guys :)
