VERY interesting! ..I think I would be more shocked if just ONE of the people who have kept his company over the years actually had a pro American attitude!..Shawn,do you by any chance have a link for this?

you know I would swear we were having a tractor pull or a horse race rather than an election. With the amount of mud, and bovine fecal matter being thrown at Obama.

Hey KaraokeMan, everyone around this guy appears to be 1 a Communist or 2 antiAmerican. You don't find that to be relevant in the vetting of a Presidential candidate?

KaraokeMan P.,,..I have to wonder IF anyone of the obama cult people are over the age of 16,....does he want us to hold his hand,..odd how NOTHING was out of reach the last 3 election,..fair game,..obama wants to lead a country but can't take the heat of a "normal" election,...what a pansy....none of this is made-up about obama,though he would like you to believe that. ....obama's past and his friends are the fecal matter!!

An ucommon amount of fear? I thought he was the great savior with 80,000 fans in cheering Oregon? Maybe if he would tell the truth or stop playing the race card whenever he doesn't like a question, it would ease people' s fears.

With all the stuff that is coming out about him and his anti American beliefs, I cannot for the life of me figure out, why some people would support such a person.. SOmeone such as him and his wife will wind up handing this country over without blinking any eye..
Good job Shawn, keep up the good work. Well deserves a 10

Yep Robyn McCain having an affair years ago is much more important than Obama chillin with Communists now. Where exactly were you when Clinton had the whole Monica thing going on? I'm sure you were calling for his head. Not.

This is just more nonsense from the right-wing propaganda machine. Fairey did one poster on his own for Obama and has no ties with his campaign, here an interview with the artist:

http://creativity-online.com/?action=news:article&newsId=124743&sectionId=behind_the_work

What's really scary is where fringe right-wingers want to take this country... If you want real information go to real news sources: the AP, Reuters, etc. If you listen to crap like this you'll aid and abet these people in more of the same failure the US has experienced in the last 7 years.

Bwahahahahaha Peter. Did you read the letter from Obama to the artist?

Take it from someone who went to art school. Being a commie in the art world is not considered a bad thing.

Gee, The Chive must have a better Google than Shawn has. Maybe you guys could tell him how you found that information so he can check things out BEFORE he misspeaks the next time?

"BUZZZZTTTTTT!!! Sorry, Shawn, but you lose. Mr. Fairey did not design the Obama campaign's Circular Flag & "O" logo, but nice try. "

Oh and ROBIN - you're bashing the wrong person with that quote about leaving his wife when she was diagnosed with cancer. And his wife is not named Cindy nor does she have a drug problem.

You're talking about McCAIN! and his poor wife.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.

Shawn, you entirely lost me when you wrote: >>Hey KaraokeMan, everyone around this guy appears to be 1 a Communist or 2 antiAmerican<<

Bush-Bones Doctrine: "There's three things to remember: claim everything, explain nothing, deny everything." - Senator Prescott Bush (Skull & Bones 1917). Following your logic, Shawn, even though the entire premise of your article violates even the simplest journalistic rules, and is factually in error... then we should blame Bush for everything from Hitler's rise to power, to supplying contra weapons by Reagan... to the Kennedy assassination...

This article plays into the hands of fringe, radical right wingers...

I'm sure your source is better than mine. You will note the thank you letter from Obama posted in this article. Now the site I got the information from stated he designed both pieces. If he did or did not is obvious that he is designing things for Obama's campaign or Obama would not be thanking him for doing so. The point is the guy who's images are posted in this article does work for the Obama campaign. If that makes you feel good about voting for Obama great. It does not make me feel good about voting for Obama.

"It does not make me feel good about voting for Obama. "
Shocker. If he promised World Peace and a million dollars in every person's bank account you still wouldn't vote for him. (He's missing the R)! I think we 'get it'!

I'm actually an L. You are right however If he promised everyone a million and World Peace I certainly wouldn't vote for a guiy that thought I was dumb enough to believe that.
