Here is the 'thank you' letter Barack Obama sent to Shepard Fairey:

"Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support. I wish you continued success and creativity.

Sincerely, Barack Obama.'"

From Obama's letter to communist propagandist "Hope" and "Change" artist Shepard Fairey:

"The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people"

Fairey's "political messages" and "images"? Several glorify communist mass murderers Mao and Stalin. Others, cop killers. He also did a few posters of Saddam Hussein.
