Wait!

It now seems as if Obama, now the nominee, is "refining" all of his
policies. He's looking a little bit more conservative. FISA, guns,
abortion, even Iraq! Where's the mad liberals though? Anyone believe
him?

This one goes out to the ones I love.

This post is about rainbows. It's about a muppet song that has been ruined. It's about Obama's sneaky words and hidden sections of his website. This post if for all my Christian brothers and sisters who have been snookered into Obamadom. If you peruse through the "People" section of his website, you will come across something called "LGBT". You will find a speech as well as a shiny Obama "O" logo with a rainbow at the bottom. The speech you will read doesn't say much, and you can hardly find anything to disagree with (other than him equating LGBT rights, with civil rights...which should make a few minorities really mad). So the question is left "What does he really think about this subject?" You can't really tell, other than suggesting that ONLY the democratic party wants to abolish hate crimes...and that's ridiculous. 

My 2 cents: If you wanna live that lifestyle...fine. If you wanna have the same Legal/Financial rights as reproducing couples...great. If you wanna be my friend...awesome. If you want me to treat you the same as everyone else...totally fine. But please don't ask me to endorse your lifestyle.

Obey Wright Poster

Here's a new poster of the Rev Wright. I think it works great with "Hope" at the bottom. I wonder if some of the Obama masses would even notice this as a sarcastic statement.

I've already been able to pass the "Obama Obey" design off as a semi-official poster. It's been posted to at least one "Obama Poster Archive". I guess no one notices the less-than-positive light it shines on Obamamania with the addition of the "Obey" moniker.

As always, you can download a pdf of the poster.

Obey Obama

If I were the people running the Obama machine, I'd be a little hesitant to work closely with Shepard Fairey. Not that he's scary or anything, but he is known mainly for his "Obey" meaningless marketing movement. When you think about it, it really mirrors Obamamania. He's everywhere, his image is everywhere, eerily similar to the "Obey" campaign. Has Shepard unknowingly become a victim of the very over-branding-excess-hype machine that triggered his initial "Andre The Giant" series? Also, it won't be long before conservatives, ignorant of Shepard's work, see the posters of Stalin and Mao and draw parallels to Obama. Please everyone slow-down. Don't you think Obama is being idolized a little too much? Honestly. Even if He's elected, do you really think he's gonna solve all your problems? I'm also calling on designers to cool it a bit with all the iconic imagery. Seriously take a look at Communist propaganda posters and let them inform and warn against too much "leader-worship". I posted a mashup of an Obama "Obey" poster I made. You can download a pdf.

Where are the cynics?

Is everyone drinking the Obama Kool-Aid? Where are the progressive cynics who don't believe that anything will change if O is elected? Where are the people critical of his record? What has he done that makes people so infatuated with the idea of electing him? I can list great speakers all day long, and a few of them have done the world great harm. Where are the humanists that despise his faith in a supreme being? Where are the tolerance police, being critical of his close (20 year) ties with a preacher that bubbles with intolerance? Where are the postmodernists who don't trust what anyone says....especially politicians. Where are you? I'm waiting.
