"Does pro-Obama creativity say more about the candidate or his fans?"
Well, the New York Times asked the question, so it must be worthy to print and all that.
Does the fact that Obama's official poster-maker loves Stalin and Mao say something about Obama, or just Obama's fans?

Does pro-Obama creativity say more about the candidate or his fans?
by Rob Walker
Obama art
Whether or not Barack Obama would make a good president, it’s clear that he makes an excellent muse. It’s hard to think of a political candidate in recent memory who has, in real time, inspired so much creativity, exercised free of charge and for the campaign’s benefit. Perhaps this suggests something about Obama — or maybe it suggests something about his supporters.
... One of the most prominent is ... the Los Angeles artist Shepard Fairey in January.... Fairey made a brief statement ... noting his “great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President.” Poster sales, he added, would underwrite “a large statewide poster campaign.”
In addition to popping up on many streets, the image later made its way onto a T-shirt, created in collaboration with the San Francisco street-wear brand Upper Playground — and apparently onto the radar of the Obama campaign. The candidate himself sent a thank-you note, and his campaign had Fairey create a new poster that became the inaugural offering in an “Artists for Obama” section of the barackobama.com online store. Fairey told Creativity Online that while he has been politically active, there’s something new in the enthusiasm he now professes to feel. “I just thought it was time to stick my neck out,” he said....

Probably there will be more before the campaign is over.
If Obama Bin Laden talks like a anti-American, acts like an anti-American and associates with anti-Americans... can we assume Osama is anti-American?

He just seemed to be more articulate and without as dirty of hands as say John Kerry or Tom Hayden or Bill Clinton.
Except his terrorist ties are clear. His association with hate filled demagogues is clear. His own writings are public record (he's published them in books).
Obama may be defeated. Hillary may be defeated. But their Marxist agenda MUST be defeated. How many times do we have to tell them NO?!!!
Yes, thanks weegee! I made one at that site but didn’t use Obama in it. Very neat huh? You did a good job.

You know I haven’t been keeping up as you do, but if she used ‘those words’ it is unbelievable!
Re-Barf, lol!!
Nice graphic Phil!
The Democrats are finally getting a thorough, official tally of exactly how popular the left wing of their party is?

Me too! I also noticed Obama is black, he’s half red and half white.
What is black and white and read all over? Answer: newspaper.
Now we can ask, what is black and white and red all over? Answer, Obama Nation
From a sheerly technical perspective, the guy’s poster art is very good. But the fawning, neo-Stalinist style is creepy in the extreme. The “Snob” caricature of this art is spot on.
