OBJETIVO
Your Dec. 19 cover doesn’t correctly
depict Bush in his bubble.
It looks as if he wants to get out
of the bubble, when in reality I
think he prefers to be there. He
is happy and feels safe there.
Instead, your illustration should
show him as content. Probably
his greatest fear is that the bubble
might burst, exposing him to
the real world.
