The Obama campaign has more than $60 million cash on hand. In an economy this bad, you'd think a presidential campaign that flush would be happy to pay good money for a talented designer to create a campaign poster.
But the folks at Obama campaign have taken a page from the Arianna Huffington book of economic exploitation and called on "artists across the country" to create a poster ... for free.
And here's the kicker. It's a jobs poster. "All submissions will become the property of Obama for America," according to the fine print.
Yes, the Obama campaign is soliciting unpaid labor to create a poster "illustrating why we support President Obama's plan to create jobs now, and why we'll re-elect him to continue fighting for jobs for the next four years."
If you win? You get: A framed copy of your own poster, signed by the president ("approximate retail value $195").
And if you don't win? Well, that's too bad. You've not only lost the contest, you've also surrendered your intellectual property.

Of course it's volunteer work. They will simply re-use the work of others.

Sixty million dollars? Is that all his campaign has? What happened to the billion?

Obama is one of those "greedy rich" holding on to his money. He won't spend it to create jobs.

I’d come up with something for him if I were getting paid for it.
I’m a capitalist and it proves that capitalism is a non ideological and non racist economic system.

Sixty million dollars? Is that all his campaign has? What happened to the billion? It's not even primary season yet. The big money will flow to Obama after the republican nominee is known and he knows where to concentrate his fire. I do not doubt that Obama will eventually have that billion at his disposal.

There is no “I” in “The People”.
Now pay your taxes - your government is broke.

This is rich. So is the Stone repudiating the ‘forgive all debts’ OWS crowd? Have they inveighed against Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ [there’s no money]? Obama is the incarnation of their ideals, and they dare criticize him? Stupid is....

How embarassing that people still support this moron.

Sorry - I can only accept answers in the form of mind numbed chants (a la Occupy Wall Street Protesters). :D

Does anyone know how much, if any, of that money Obama gets to keep after the election?
