Fairey,

, "Some of the works are about gridlock in Washington. Washington is too intertwined with corporate America . . . I had a lot of hope for Obama, but it's not panning out. He's not pushing hard enough."

Is he down on Obama or no longer down with Obama? I can’t get the lingo these kids use straight anymore.

All things being equal, you would think this guy would want to change his name. But after looking at him, maybe not.

The more time that passes, the more I believe Obama just wanted to be president. Not to govern or solve problems, but to go down in history as the first “black” president. He really doesn’t have a clue what he is doing and neither do those he surrounds himself with.

When I saw Shepard and Fairey in the title, I thought it was about Shepard Smith.

Fairey is a sell out.

He has a deal with Saks Fifth Ave.

What kind of anti-corpratist is he anyway?

Interesting headline. I bet he was "down" on Obama before...

Good to hear the regret, but these people are still delirious. They do not realize that they were used. This guy intended all along to take the reigns of the entrenched bureaucracy, grow it beyond any of our worst nightmares, and tighten the relationships with entrenched large interests. People like this were clueless enough to buy his crap about ‘changing how Washington works’. They think he just hasn’t done enough.

Which is why I don’t think he will run for re-election.

He wanted to become POTUS and pass Obamacare. Then he will leave and go fun the UN or something.

Fairey got rich off Obama's candidacy and victory. Does he have any regrets over that?

Why do people still say his the first black president? He is not black nor white, he is mulatto! One more point, and a disgrace to this great nation!

Wouldn’t be the first Fairey that was down on Obama.

Did he EVER run for re-election? I thought he kept stepping up his offices (from state legislature to US senator to the White House).

He never had to persuade a majority of voters to put him BACK into the same office. He just kept looking for a bigger pool of fools.

He's “Ben and Jerry's” kind of anti-corpratist.

In other words, he wants to line his pockets just like any other CAPITALIST.

Not pushing hard enough, eh?

That's what you get when your candidate was allowed to skate through college ala affirmative action, having everything handed to him just because of his race.

You get a smooth-talking (when the teleprompters work), lazy, good for nothing, narcissistic bum.

Can't he just eat his waffle and shoot some hoops and play some golf.

Nobody told him this president'n stuff was going to be WORK!

Bingo!

He’s a drive-by politician.

Hit and run.

I'll believe that he is "down" on OBAMA(TM) when he goes to making anti-Obama artworks and pasting them up in the middle of the night as he did against GW Bush and when he promoted Obama...
