Barack Zombama T-shirt!

Looks like Shepard Fairey's hope picture of Obama is going down in history as one of the iconic pictures of the historical Presiden of the United States. I haven't seen a picture parodied like this since that people put that fat asian kid. Pop-Monkey Jared Moraitis is the craftsman behind this picture and t-shirt, as an artistic commentary on the rabid sweep of Obama-mania and Barack's missteps as the new leader. Find the tee here.

Change You Can "Truck"

Shepard Fairey's now famous Obama Hope caicature.

Fairey's original as inspired many spoofs and covers. The greatest form of flattery is mimicry is it not? With the new Transformers movie coming out this summer. I thought this picture by Tim Doyle is very fitting and clever.

Neck Face - Voice of the American Populace

Open Letter to Obama

It may not be intentional, then again it may, but these words pack a whole lot of punch.

The word change and dollars here just pack a whollop. Barack Obama - "Change" we can believe in; the platform the the election was won with. But here there is a double entendre, change could be interpreted as nickles and dimes. According to Neck Face, change (nickles and dimes) aren't needed just the benjamins.

The Barack Berry

It pays to be the Prez. So in case you didn't know, for national security measures the President is not really allowed to use electronics in an attempt to stop the proliferation of sensitive information. So emails are frowned upon, which is understandable. I'm sure you've all been victim or seen someone be victimized by an ill advised sending of an email around the office. It's an even bigger no no in the Oval (office). Obama is a self-confessed BBM addict so to get around the he is getting a special 3500$ BB that is totally hack and spy proof. Dayum it pays to be the Prez. Check out the full story on CNN.

The 175 Million Party

I tuned into the Barack Obama inauguration just like millions of other people this past Tuesday, however I came across something very interesting. Apparently the inauguration ceremony cost about 175 million tax paying dollars. Now I know the occasion is greatly momentus however how do you justify spending 175 million dollars when you're in what some economists call the worst economic crisis ever? Yes Obama does deserve a ceremony on par with the President-Elects of the past, but not when this kind of money could be used to help stimulate a now stagnant economy.

I think the world is too caught up in Obama fever to see things how they really are. He's supposed to rush in this big new thing called change, it's what his platform was built upon. But people are going to have to start holding him accountable for his action, not saying that the inauguration budget is his fault. But for change to really happen, we can't just blindly believe in someone and hope they pull through. He's supposed to be your voice America, if you don't let him speak for you he'll just speak for himself. That means he'll bring about change alright, change that you'll believe less and less in everyday.

I wish nothing but good luck and good tidings to 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama.

The Amazing Inauguration

Issue 583 of the Amazing Spiderman comes out and Barack Obama is featured in it. It's your basic story line villains/terrorist threaten the life of the President Elect (well president now) and Spidey comes and saves the day through wit and force.

As you can see a lot of people lined up to get their hands on a copy. I'm not going to even comment on the line.

To me this issue sends a message one that may require a little debunking. Put the present day President on the cover of a comic book and you turn him into a superhero. That's pretty much what America needs right now with the way things are going economically. There is civil unrest and only Spidey and Barack can come save the day.
