Bush Wins Second Term

President George W. Bush claimed election victory on Wednesday, basking in the glow of a historic win that saw Americans stick with their wartime incumbent after a campaign battle waged over the war in Iraq, the threat of terrorism and a sluggish economy.

“We had a long night and a great night,” a beaming Bush told cheering supporters at the Lincoln Center following a bitter and divisive campaign. “The voters turned out in record numbers and delivered a historic victory.”

Bush had kind words for his Democratic challenger, John Kerry, less than an hour after the Massachusetts senator conceded defeat in an emotional speech in Boston. That concession speech followed a phone call between the two men earlier Wednesday.

“We had a really good phone call; he was very gracious,” Bush said. “He waged a spirited campaign and he and his supporters can be proud of their efforts.”

Bush also reached out to Democratic supporters in a possible nod to what Kerry called a “desperate need” in a phone call to the White House earlier Wednesday. (CP)

This was one of three illustrations drawn in advance of the results of the 2004 Presdiential election in the United States.

Please note…

This website contains satirical commentaries of current events going back several decades. Some readers may not share this sense of humour nor the opinions expressed by the artist. To understand editorial cartoons it is important to understand their effectiveness as a counterweight to power. It is presumed readers approach satire with a broad minded foundation and healthy knowledge of objective facts of the subjects depicted.
