"Courrielche said the now ubiquitous Obama 'Hope' poster by artist Shepard Fairey and musician will.i.am's 'Yes We Can' song and music video were offered as 'shining examples' of the artist group's [NEA's] clear impact on Obama's landslide election."

“I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.”

-Shepard Fairey

"Billionaires Peter Lewis and George Soros have each pledged $10 million to America Coming Together...A billionaire, Lewis is the chairman and chief executive officer of Progressive Corporation, the fourth-largest U.S. personal auto insurer, A leading U. S. business reference manual, Hoover's Handbook of American Business l999, actually described Lewis in print as "a functioning pot-head."... His house features an elaborate series of paintings of Chinese communist Mao Tse-tung by Andy Warhol.".....


Those Warhols used to hang in the hall way to Lewis' office at Progressive. Wierd how what is shocking to us (paintings, little blue pocket book, etc., etc.), is 'right up the ally' of the left. I need to stop banging my head against the wall in disbelief and just accept the fact that it's not because the left is unaware...it's because it's what the left WANTS...socialism, redistribution of wealth, etc....I won't be surprised if there is NO 2012 election...I won't put it past them to find a way to keep Obama in power...indefinitely.
