"Looking at Obama's standpoint on various policies, it was like, 'Why throw all these particular projectiles over the wall... when I could put all those things in one projectile that I could hurl over the wall,'" Fairey said in a phone interview from Los Angeles, where he lives. "Obama was the delivery device in theory. Now, I realize that he maybe is not the correct delivery device, and I'll just deal with those issues separately."

I'm glad the children were here to hear that. That was a perfect example of genuine La-La Land gibberish.

“To be sure, Fairey still supports Obama, and he says he would use his talents to assist the president’s re-election efforts in 2012. But he said that he couldn’t design the same Hope poster today, because the spirit of the Obama campaign hasn’t carried over to the Obama presidency. “

Obama isn’t LEFT enough for this loon.

What he means is, Obama was not able to get his civilian army gestapo together, incarcerate and murder millions of conservatives, and nullify the constitution entirely. Fairey had great hope for a new Stalin or Mao and Obama failed.

Fairey blames it on Obama but we all know the real reason: Americans got guns and lots of em, and lots of ammo, and lots of attitude. There is only so much a dictator can do here, only so far he can progress before he runs into this roadblock. Make no mistake about it, if we were unarmed the camps and killing would have started long ago.

The political messages in Fairey's art are:
1) Communist dictators are god-like supermen
2) The United States is a police state at home and an imperialist oppressor abroad
3) Capitalism is an evil system based on greed and exploitation
4) Ordinary Amerikkkan workers are guilty of blithely supporting an unjust system
5) The only good Americans are those who fight The System
6) The communist Peoples' Armies will soon triumph over Amerikkkan imperialism and bring peace to the world out of the barrel of a gun.

Shepard Fairey is a talentless poser. Any and all aesthetic quality in any of "his" works are from whomever he has stolen that piece from. I'm overjoyed to see the karma catch up with him as one of his sources sues him. I hope he gets taken to the cleaners. ROTFLMHO!!!

This thread is a good place to learn who Shepard Fairey is:

Fairey has a company ("Obey") that produces his own artwork, such as these.
See Fairey's website: http://www.thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints



Obama has written Fairey that he admires "the political messages involved in your work."
