A Moral Question

MORAL QUESTION
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.
===============================================
THE SITUATION
You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
===============================================
THE TEST
Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options--you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful politicians.
===============================================
THE QUESTION
Please give an honest answer:
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
(Yea, I know it's old, but it's still funny)

funny joke btw
But to answer the question I'd keep my foot on his head long enough for me to draw out several sketches to make an animation of him struggling for a few seconds.
High contrast color film. Black and white photography masks blood hiding the true severity of the situation. WWE often goes to black and white after a super nasty cut to hide how bloody the wrestlers get. They do this on live television and for photos on their web site. It's a shame, because I wanted to see just how bloody that Flair vs HHH cage match ended up.

Pretty sure you meant that for Vassago ... at least I hope you did...
Wouldn't that prompt new elections instead of leaving Dick in charge?
I would probably save him just to prevent Dick from taking his place.

No. That's the primary purpose of the Vice Presidency: to take over in case the President is unable to fulfill his duties (either by death, illness, incompetence, etc). Other than that, pretty much the only other official job of the VP is "President of the Senate," which doesn't really mean much.
