Obama has tried to make this case too. That Medicaid is Socialized Medicine and it’s been around but THIS which is an expansion of that program is NOT socialized medicine.
Either that, or Fairey misinterpretted his master’s words and Obama meant that “you are simply reacting to the word SOCIALISM, try it, you’ve already bitten the apple...”

"It's not grammatically correct. It would be 'socialist' ... Obama is not Marx. He didn't create socialism." Whatever this mumbling is supposed to mean...

I have my doubts on the intelligence of someone named “Fairey”.

Obama didn’t create CHANGE either, Mr. Fairy.

medicaid is not for ‘everyone’ just the poor. Even if you are poor, you can choose not to take it. Obama wants everyone under his control with no private alternative. No way out. That’s socialism.

"It could be possible that a right-winger finally got hip to the idea that street art can get people's attention and be a valuable way to express a point of view," Fairey said. Far out!!
To: SolidWood
Mr street artist intellectual is not necessarily correct either. If we are to infer that the message applies to the man in the poster only then yes Socialist would be correct. However, if the artist’s meaning this was the iconic symbol or “face” of Socialism then he is correct.

Regardless, Fairey is not proud of his popular piece that portrayed Bush as a vampire. “I think that it was a very one-dimensional presentation,” he said.
Yeah, Mr. Fairey. I’m sure that one took a lot of thought, too.

Shepard Fairey is all for free speech and creating a political dialogue, but only if intelligent by his standards and agree with him. Fixed it.

"It could be possible that a right-winger finally got hip to the idea that street art can get people's attention and be a valuable way to express a point of view," Fairey said. That Benny Franklin had nothing on the Faireys of the art world.

Whatever this mumbling is supposed to mean... Don't forget that Fairey, used/borrowed/stole the image from another source.
Not to mention that Andy Warhole thing he did with it (or did no one notice?)

This one was one dimensional.
Why didn't they ask him about the Fear Bushitler poster?

Shep, I’ve seen pics of the old Andre the Giant posters and those don’t exactly look like the work of a genius.

This guy is not to bright. Henri de Saint Simon coined the term socialism before Marx was born. And it could be argued the concept was around much longer.
To: ari-freedom
Actually, I always thought the “Two-Face” character was a better fit for Obama. That would explain so much...lhow he could sit in Wright’s church all those year and not remember hearing anything. Like how he could be for economic growth, but support “Cap and Trade”. The list is literally endless.....
