I was just going to post the political cartoon tonight but then, while reading some of my backlogged e-mails, I came across the following and had to post it tonight too. I think it fits in well with the mindset of our present President before having been given the offer.

“In the Crosshairs
Mike Piccione, Editor
Hey Gunners,
Next Monday (April 19, 2010—my addition) the Second Amendment March is in Washington, DC. Skip Coryell is a mountain of a man to take the March from an idea to a reality. So in honor of Skip, in place of where I usually put the Federalist Papers, his final story will anchor this week's Guns & Patriots. One man can make a difference. He did. Now we march.”
“I recently asked my friends’ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’
She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.’ Her parents beamed.
‘Wow...what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guys hang out, and you can give them the $50 to use toward food and a new house.’
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘Why don’t the homeless guys come over and do the work, and you can just pay them the $50?’
I shook her hand and said, ‘Welcome to the Republican Party.’
...Her parents still aren’t speaking to me.

Moral: It’s easy to spend OTHER PEOPLE’S money!
The posted picture is purported to be part of a political cartoon published in the Chicago Tribune on, I believe, April 21, 1934.
