Obama Art
Katie77:
Some of the artwork here is remarkable and it is great to see positive and good humoured things about your new President. I hope he lives up to the expectations of those that voted for him.
I am not for or against any political party or politician in your country, but Ive gotta say, when I first saw that pic on the home page of Obama and his vice president in the Brokeback Mountain poster, I nearly vomitted. And worse, now everytime I come in here to Bettermost it is still staring me in the face, and my compulsion to puke has not abated.
It is the worst case of sacrilidge I have witnessed in a long time, and I hope it disappears from the front page very quickly.

thank you.
Why everyone wants to redo that poster, I do not know. since we know they are both straight men married to women, and there has been no hint that they are romantically involved, it doesnt' even make sense.

There is an exact same poster with Bush/Cheney, so this isn´t the first time.

Why History Can't Wait
"In one of the craziest elections in American history, he overcame a lack of experience, a funny name, two candidates who are political institutions and the racial divide to become the 44th President of the United States."
