		<description>Racist?!? Phooey!

I think the poster is fantastic!!!

After all the mudslinging that Bush-- who I am NO fan of-- endured, Obama, like any politician, is fair game.

I love the poster for a few reasons. I find it to be a very creative adaptation of a common photo. The imagery is very dark and sinister and perhaps exposes the darker side of this man so blindly loved and adored by millions. It raises concern for what little we know about his darker side-- who is he REALLY? What REALLY motivates him? IS he socialist? IS he the greatest con to have attained the presidency? What destruction to our great country will he leave in his wake? Is he the ANTICHRIST?!?

What disturbs me as an artist about this poster is the pressure of abridged freedom of expression that the artist must feel that would have compelled her or him to post these in the dark of night. I am terribly afraid that our freedom of expression as artists is being quietly but firmly subdued. This, I believe, is evidence of that smothering of those freedoms that a person, whether an artist or a person simply expressing political opinions/dissent, should be fearful of voicing their opinions.

I say, &quot;Way to go Obama Joker Poster-poster!&quot;</description>
