OPINION: Top 5 Worst Obama-Inspired Art

By News One June 22, 2009 2:46 pm

From TheStimulist:

Barack Obama has inspired the nation’s artists like no president in generations.  From the famous will.i.am video to Shepard Fairey’s hope poster, we have been bombarded by tributes to 44 large and small. They’ve taken numerous forms, including spicy YouTube videos, moving poetry, and even some funky dance moves. And while the tributes certainly have slowed, they haven’t stopped yet.

But let’s face it: we only get to see the tributes that make the cut. Sure, we’ve seen tons of pieces that are moving, creative, and hilariously funny, but there are millions of duds out there. Want to see the bad and the ugly, not just the good? BadPaintingsofBarackObama.com fills the void, bringing American Idol’s classic one-two combo to Obama art: we get the hilarity of the early round bombs and the smug superiority of Simon Cowell.

Below, a mini-retrospective of the site’s best (or should it be worst?) finds:

    this man is really making moves huh well i didnt vote for him but i believe everybody needs a chance but taking troops out of iraq to move them to Afghanistan to start another war there lol thats hilarious. He also has a Civilian Youth Force which is basically a draft, if your 18-25 you have to serve, it’s mandatory. This is the change you wanted well good luck in U.S.S.A (United States of Socialist America).

    We all know what’s this means at least we sure know whites people are afraid of an educated black person and what they don’t understand. This picture try to show just that they are really two face they want to keep us down and get rid of us but every time you look around they trying to look like us.

    Art is subjective.

    Lol you idiots the third eye is a very spiritual thing you have to meditate to open it when once open it gives power,wisdom and understanding this pictures tells the viewers that obama possess this knowledge and understanding ans also wisdom

    you know what. once again thats them white people trying to throw him off his game… he’s out there on his job right now and its killing them that this man is actually making real moves and moving this country in the right direction… so they have to try and distract him…… thats why i dont even give it much attention… just like with these corny celebrities bringing attention to the b.s is what makes it bigger then what it is…. no matter what they write or draw.. that man is my president. so f**k em.

    i think that some of these picture do not belong on this website as a poor picture of obama..someof them are awesome with the way he is depicted. some of them look like they were drawn by 4th graders entering into a contest. some of t hem are very nice and just need to look alittle more like the president. the one with the basketball and the d.c. jersey does not need to be there…the artist put obama in his own perspective and the drawing is very accurate..i think this website is only half relevant..

  • 6-22-2009 10:13 pm

    I love the first picture…..He definitely looks like the celebrity John McCain was talking about……”Miami Vice posture” lol

  • 6-22-2009 9:49 pm

    THAT 3RD EYE PIC IS FUNNY…

  • 6-22-2009 8:54 pm

    Everyone has a different opinion of our president. Some people are sick and twisted.

  • 6-22-2009 8:27 pm

  • 6-22-2009 8:26 pm
