The artist whose poster of Barack Obama became a rallying image during the hope-and-change election of 2008 says he understands why so many people have lost faith.

In an exclusive interview with National Journal on Thursday, Shepard Fairey expressed his disappointment with the president -- a malaise that seems representative of many Democrats who had great expectations for Obama.

Fairey explained that when he came up with the poster in 2008, he was trying to find a single image that embodied the issues he cared most about -- promoting health care, helping labor, and curtailing lobbyists. FULL STORY

So now he's hopeless?

Shepard Fairey?

Хорошо-у, то

Fairey... Shepard..! Report to guard shack for shovel. Bus to Karl Marx Treatment Center will depart after beatings and interrogation are having been completed.

How does one say " Useful Idiot " in Russian ?

Some of these young proles can be such nimcomboobers. What he is complaining about? Why so downtrodden and unprogged?

ObamoCare was passed and now we have a glorious free(ish) healthcare that will last forever, as dear Leader said.

All the monies redistributed went to Unions. Again why is whining prole whining?

Surely he didn't believe silly "no lobbyist in MY Cabinet" statement that the One made, did he? Surely?? As I say, he is a nimcomboober. Obama is doing what Obama wants to do and that is what Obama said he would do to "change" America to Amerika.

Nimcomboober. spit

Hill-ar-y, Hill-ar-y, Hill-ar-y!

Please Comrade Whoopie ....do not mention the M.T.E. so early this morning !
I'd like to keep my breakfast down......

That sounds like a subversive comment to me, Comrade. I demand a clear clarification or you're off to the gulag for 10 slashing and beet burger stew. This is NOT a vacational experience!

Fraulein....I am loyal supporter of State things....Please forgive me for misunderstandings.
Keeping my food down is of importance to my comrades because the '49 Pobeda
( please see avatar), has the needing of oil. There is none to be had in village, but it has been requisitioned by Sampolit Gorsk....is to be here in three weeks. So, to remain faithful to Party operative's field quotas, I must be tractor for beet harvest myself. Keeping the foods in me will make for better workings for State. Slava, Obama Tovarich, Slava !

Полезные идиот




But Shepard Fairey has outlived his "usefulness". The wheels on the bus go thump thump thump.....



Вперёд, к победе коммунизма!

Ура, товарищи!

This does not recant or explain your upchucking at the mention of our glorious MTE?! Do you have misogyny? Are you a close misogynist?!! This would explain your upchuckiness at the speakingviewing of dear Hillary's very misogyny reference of MTE, would it not, Comrase Krasnodar??!! I wonder if you have endowment envy?!

First Obama girl and now this.

[Shrugs]

Stuff I find when I ain't looking for it



I think this is exactly what the blacks voted in DROVES for. It was THEIR idea of what Hope 'n Change meant. They voted FOR Socialism, because this was what they BELIEVED his Oliness was going to do for them.

The blacks, more than anybody should be REALLY PISSED OFF at the Obamination by now.

Comrade Scratchanitch,

I am confused, who is this non-person Fairey?? Is this the same former agitprop artist that was purged some time ago for humiliating the Party after it was found out he was merely a lying plagarist?? Even our agents in the MSM could not polish this turd so he was disposed of.

From Wiki: "In October 2009 Shepard Fairey admitted to trying to deceive the Court by destroying evidence that he had used the photograph alleged by the AP. His lawyers announced they were no longer representing him, and Laurence Pulgram, an intellectual property lawyer stated that the revelation definitely put Mr. Fairey's case "in trouble". In May 2010, a judge urged Fairey to settle."

Maybe he was a closet Peoples Cuber. Pretty much everything we do is plagiarized. Right?

Stop rubbing it in. This really hurts.

Vladimir -

I must denounce your inadvertent usage of unacceptable nomenclature. The collective never has and never will plagiarize. We "redistribute" in the best interest of The People ™.

Please enroll immediately at the Ministry of Vocabulary ™ for Speak Modification ™ .

I am having difficulty, because of the embedded quotes, determining just who violated our speech protocols but rest assure we will identify these Speak Criminals ™.

If the "Rules" got violated, that would probably be me. I grew up in the '50's in semi-socialist America, and completely missed out on a lot of the proper indoctrination.

I am aware that I undoubtedly am one of the Alienating forces should be modified or eradicated according to the Humanist Manifesto II of 1973.

If die Fraulein Pulloskies is still listening , I , Krasnodar, have reason for comment about M.T.E. this morning.......... everyone is expected to give blind ....um.....faithful obedience to people's leader in charge. That is Comrade Obama ! May I point out that Ms. Hillary had the gall during the 2008 patriotic campaign to call " The One " inexperienced ? More than that, Zampolit Biden agreed with her ! I submit to you, F.P., that these two were most subversive and disloyal to the soon-to-be Emperor ..........Premier...........President Obama. And Shelob.....Hillary deserves to be shunned by the collective. Dear Leader does, so who am I not to emulate him ?.........That is, unless " She " came to power. Then I must have a change of opinion towards her. I prefer my current duties as tractor in fields than guest in Siberian gulag.

I feel for Comrade Fairey...

We (us Group Think™ types) had such hopes of Communist Utopia in Dear Leader Obama.

But he has been obstructed every step of the way by a minority fringe right wing! How'd they pull this off?!

They have no ACORN! They have no sympathetic Judicial, no Fellating Media or Most Equal Soros loot!

I too have lost hope...

G'head, play around with it...

[off] Labor is the most damaging, market distorting lobbyist around. I'm not sure "useful idiot" is strong enough for this winner.

Very well. . .

I voted for Carter.

That cost me about $500,000.

I am a real fast learner.
