Quote
Unlike never before in history, (nice grammar, moron) Barack Obama the candidate and now President Elect has been celebrated by artists all over the globe in what has been dubbed “Obama Art.” Obama’s campaign has inspired every form of creative expression from sculpture to painting, drawing, graffiti, posters, song, poetry, and the list goes on. Artists, writers, poets, designers, moms, dads and kids, from coast to coast and abroad, have joined the ranks of this new art form now know as “Obama Art,” a phenomenon that has not gone unnoticed me, my brother Don Manley, and partner Paul Gurney.

Quote
We do not know where this will lead. We have lots of ideas and are depending on the growth and popularity of the site to determine its future. It’s our hope that maybe one of the posters that are derived from our contributors will someday hang in the Capital, or maybe the White House.



I am so embarrassed that these dorks have a business in my state. I use the term loosely. Their "studio" site is the sort of pretentious hack Flash asshattery that went out of style when the dotcoms blew up.

I wonder what kind of sculpture Ned could come up with? :angel:

Freakin' tards.

Although I'm sure they'd like to redesign the FRN or Amero or whatever it gets called when Obama/Frank/Pelosi/Reid usher in the collapse of our banks.

Capitol.

There's all sorts of spelling and grammar tardishness on that page, and they're supposed to be a design and web studio.

Do you suppose Obama toilet paper would sell well?

Where can you order custom-printed TP?

Unlike, never dude!  =D  The TP thing, any response is hilarious yet outside APS bounds.

I can't wait for buyer's remorse to set in.

THAT'S IT!!!!

I wondered why I was happy (well, not overly depressed...) that Obama won!

I didn't have to wait for the inevitable McCain remorse! I DIDN'T "buy" McCain!!!!
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Unfortunately, Obama is destined to be considered the same honor as Bill Clinton: A man and leader of the ages............and all this before his presidency ever starts.

Keep drinking the kool-aid people.

It never will, not ever.  Every failure Obama participates in will not fail because it was a bad idea to begin with.  It will fail because of Bush, or because "the people aren't ready", or some other wash.  Far-left crap never works, always for the same reasons, but its supporters never seem to understand why.

By now, everyone who hasn't yet sipped the kool-aid should understand that.

Why can't it? What we need to do is try harder. Get actually conservative/libertarian candidates to run in, and win, elections.

We know what the welfare state needs to live - the graduated income tax system, the regulatory system, and public education (and some other things, but bear with me).

We must begin, and continue, a continuous ATTACK on these institutions. Rally against them even now, with the liberals still in charge

We must not only oppose whatever reforms Obama will introduce, but constantly and consistently advocate our own reform package.

Repeal. Reform. Eliminate. Privatise.

That's a long-term goal, yes.  It just looked like you were saying that was a strategy to make Obama look bad.

The heroic (Stalinist looking) "art"...

The always glowing news coverage ("He sends a shiver down my leg...")

The naming of schools for the PRESIDENT-ELECT?

The establishment of a County Holiday in Alabama for the PE?

The blind, brainwashed, sycophantic lemmings that adore the Messiah will never admit that his ideas, policies and government (might, could, have?) failed.  They could be living in tent cities, eating gruel from a gubmint kitchen, wearing rags and they would attribute it to "the ones who didn't want THE CHANGE".

Even though I've got a "Keep The Change" sticker for the truck, in actuality, I am very ready for a change, only the change that I am looking for is in the direction of a properly (small) sized federal (not central) government that emphasizes individual responsibility and reliance and it funded by something similar to the "FAIR Tax"

Probably not the change the lemming are pining for, is it?

Here's my point: Unless and until the ideology that begat Obama is defeated, a new Obama is always just around the corner. Even had McCain won this election, this would at best only forestall an Obama or similar Presidency. The years 2000-2006 were a golden opportunity to go for the jugular, and people didn't.

We must think beyond a given election or a given candidate. We must think in terms of the social institutions that create people like Obama and being them to power, and eliminating or weakening these institutions.

Why bother to stop? I just might join you. One of the few hopes I have is the hope that I am wrong.
