Dear Shepard,
I would like to thank you for using your talint in support of my campaign. The politicla messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can helpchange the status-quo.
Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part ofyour artwork and prooud to have your support. I wish you continued success and creativity.
Sincerely,
(signed Barack Obama)
Barack Obama
Obama ‘08
Obama for America (etc)
Note how Obama actually endorses the defacing of stop signs in this letter. It is not too much of a BFD, but coming out against graffitti and defacing traffic signs should be a no-brainer.
Yes, but that's nothing compared to his endorsing the revolutionary communist images of propagandist Shepard Fairey. His images glorify such mass-murdering (communist) monsters as Mao and Stalin. And Obama wrote specifically:
"Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign.

I certainly “hope” that none of his fellow prisioners try to get too “friendly” with him during his stay at the Crossbar Hotel.

“Tuxedo rock” is a high-wire act, but somehow Ferry and Robert Palmer were able to pull it off.
The plus side? The ladies love it. At least according to my wife.
And defacing stop signs of all things can be a serious safety hazard, as opposed to many other types of public or private property defacing. Good point.
interesting

It's actually quite alarming how communists, democrats and other assorted @ssholes gravitate toward sexual perversion.
So...he’s now the Poster Child for the term “Useful Idiot”.
Good job there, Shep...enjoy your stay, compliments of the taxpaying public.
I thought it said he was shot.
bwahahhahahahahaha!
Thanks for you posts. Much of the background on Fairey, I did not know. OUTSTANDING (as usual)!
You’re welcome, good FRiend. Glad you found it informative.
Perfect. Kudos.

Obamas Venomous Artist-Fundraiser
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."
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.
