The Bush Years

The Huffington Post sponsored the following posters that powerfully invoke the case for change.

There are three posters that are meant to capture "the lunacy of the Bush years". I recall a similar poster created for the 1968 Nixon campagn that did much of the same thing, but using illustrations from the LBJ era. Like all propaganda, it is unfair but compelling.

However, these posters beg the question. Surely, there should be change. But what kind of change? If the change is a Clintonian restoration, then we could create similar posters for those years as well. Here are some reminders of those good old years.
