Current Event 2

So, we all know that Hilary Rodham Clinton is going to be secretary of state and was Obama's top choice. Whether she was a smart choice or not is another matter of discussion, but what's Bill going to be do during all of this? This is basically what my political cartoon was about this week. My political cartoon this week was again from The Washington Post. The cartoon showed Hilary at fancy dinner, sitting at the table of honor with all the foreign big shots. Meanwhile, Bill is sitting at the "Spouse's Table" with all the other female spouses, and looking very bored and gloomy. One of the spouses says to him. "Ah, so you married the American secretary of state, and what do you do?" The cartoon was basically showing that now is Hilary's time in the spotlight, and Bill is kind of forgotten. Although he was a former president of the US, people are thinking about now, and this moment so his powers as being a leader and known, but not anymore acknowledged. Also, the cartoon was showing a difference in power, with Bill have the power of being the leader of charities, and Hilary having the power of dealing with foreign powers. It's pretty obvious who has the bigger influence.
