Artist Statement

Since I’ve been old enough to vote, I’d say that the most ethical person to hold the office of president of the United States was Jimmy Carter. Unfortunately, it seems that anyone who wants the job usually has a few dirty little secrets and is more than willing to bend the truth.

However, none of our past presidents have actually scared me as our current president does. Every day brings new opportunities for him to lie, threaten, make false promises, and do whatever he deems necessary to get what he wants.

Pandora, as the myth goes, released all manner of evil into the world when she opened her box. Like Pandora, George W. Bush has visited evil on the world. This book touches on just a few of the secrets and lies that have come to light during his term as president.
