From Barack Obama's official website:

“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.”

See? It's all about "peace, love, togetherness" and "change".

Here are some of Fairey's other masterpieces. No joke. Most of his works are along these same lines. Check the link.

From a '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.'"

Do they teach the young aspiring “taggers” to shoot citizens?...

That is, after all, an important job requirement.

For young gang-bangers.

Graffiti is just visual pollution. It’s just vandalism and crap.

Self indulgent, narcissistic crap.

"We will be someday in the history books as Picasso, DaVinci and O'Keefe," he added.

And those losers didn't even suffer for their art by laying awake at nights, worried that some contractor for BNSF would eventually run "Guernica," the "Mona Lisa" or any number of extraordinarily large floral close-ups through a blaster prior to the next repaint. It ain't fair, man.

So they are going to use this new form of caligraphy to work in graphic design making unreadable corporate logos?

How about getting prisoners-for-life to show them how to make wine from simple items and ferment it in a toilet tank.
