so hes a farmer?

fuck yeah

i dont like it. sorry jst not feeling it.

Interesting.. I guess? I have an idea for a poster for the contest but sadly.. I'm not that great with ps. =[ But I will still attempt.. maybe. I think contests are a good idea! Even though I won't win any of them. xD

OMG i wanna do it, and that poster makes him look like he's a slave working in the farms like 60 years ago, i dont like that poster very much. I go make one now =]

I think it kinda shows where he is coming from, his background and stuff

it shows that he's worked hard to get where he is now....

why is he portrayed as a slave? he is not and never was one and ppl shouldn't have voted on him because of race and even he said theat and now he is encouraging it? i think he needs to make up his mind

stereotypical

i really like the contest idea.
[[:

true obama is and was never a slave but it shows his midwestern roots with his mother,and the book and coat jacket relate to lincoln from his home state of illinois.it also shows his serious,political side and hie commonwealth,blue collar american side.not what i would've picked but i like it.

He's amazing! Enough said!

....he was from Hawaiii, ins't he? Not like, a slave in Nebraska or some crap.

I understand the point of it,
but I honestly don't like it.
It's kind of lame, and he could have a
much better Inauguration poster.

i guess he's going to help america grow and prosper :]

Since when was Obama a farmer? I don't like it.
I do like the contest idea.

ermmm...not feelin' it! kinda portrays him as a slave [subliminally i guess] eek!

this is so riddiculous

I have no idea what this poster portrays. I don't think it get the point cleary aross to the viewers.

its interesting. i guess its trying to show his hard work??

i think its kinda insulting.

YEAH IDK ABOUT THIS!!!
--SKULL & BONES BB!

I have no idea what this poster portrays. I don't think it get the point cleary across to the viewers.

The contest sounds like a good idea!

I actually I like the poster, it shows how far the country has come - from African Americans being slaves; to the first African American president.

HMMM... YEAH IDK BOUT THIS ONE!!
DEMOCRAT-/-REPUBLICAN...?
SKULL & BONES...?
WELL SEE THOUGH!!!

---END THE WARS IN IRAQ AND ISRAEL!!

INTENSIFY THE WAR ON CANCER!!

I KNOW THERES A CURE !!

I think it's an opprotunity for racist people to bash him. Just take a stroll through an american history textbook, and they'll think he's where he belongs. Poor move on his part.

That's a little over the top. He's a politician, not a farmer.

This is TIGHT!!!

it looks a picture from my junior yr american history text. :/

I sure hope that's not a bible he's holding...

Cool, but not right?? idk could be better depicted the saying is true and I see how they wanted to make him seem as simple as homemade pie=] but yea overdone maybe

I would say that it's either trying to portray his hard work...or some kind of slave based picture. I think it kinda shows where his roots are and where he came from as well. :]

I think this poster is racist :l

stereotypical Very much so!!!

nope DO NOT like it AT ALL!!! it look sterotypical.

I don't like it because it shows regression not progression.

That seems a tad bit racist. :/

not racist but is it odd that the first african american president working in a field

For all who have failed to actually research our future president themselves; Senetor Obama is of both caucasian and African-American ancestry. Not to mention he was a native born islander(Hawaii). All three cultures have roots of being harsh conditioned workers and true wool christians. The poster may just be a tribute to his heritage and diligent attitude towards working for a better America. Which is why the majority of our nation picked him as the face of our home...duh!!!

i will be there!!

wow.. ppl are really going back to thoe times? looks kinda racist to me idk.. im not feeling this at all

so... i'm guessing he's portrayed as a slave here; so we've grown as a country.

cool contest idea.
and that poster is alright.. i would have gone somewhere else, however.

I think it's more of a stereotypical/racist thing. It makes him look like a slave. And it's not the real inaguration poster, thank god.

I get the whole part about the poster portraying his roots and what not but idk..... its a tad weird for an inauguration posterr :$
howeverr i really think its a good idea for the contest )

I kinda like it. It's alright. Looks almost racist though.

In a scene that is insensitive and could cause offense.. It looks like he could be a slave which erm.. =/

People need to get their head out of their asses. This poster is supposed to show Obama as a representative of the working class and the authority.

seems rcist but at the same time i think that it shows that he is a hard worker and i like how they put the bible in his hand:)

im not sure i understand this...i mean..i forgot where he's from..but i dont think it was a farm like that..it just seems odd to me..maybe its the irony or something..idk..im not sure how i feel about it lol

people ya'll are missing the big picture, it has noting to do with obama being a slave, it showing a historic journey, it is telling us how far we as human beings has come. From a black man working as a slave to a black man leading a nation, from a white man telling a black man what to do to a white man taking advice from a black man. So you see, it has notting to do with slavery, it is just showing how proud one can be for such an accomplishment.

pretty cool poster. love the idea or working class and how he has made his way to the top. the whole Bible in his hand thing is awesome.

does this mean he's going to help all those whom work tirelesslly to feed their children, pay the bills and outragous taxes the government has put upon us??

i do not think so. i personally think THIS poster is a load of crap, but who knows.. he MIGHT be what he's said to be, but then again, he might turn out somewhat like Bush.

fuckthegovernment.

I see this poster as sort of offensive, because its pretty much portraying Obama as a farmer or some sort of field worker. Which reminds me of the Slavery days. So I see at as racist because he's an African American.

i dont like the poster, saying that hes working for the lower class... he technically is, but i dont like the fact that people are putting him on such a high pedestal. dont like it.

this doesnt make any sense!!! : ( I AM CONFUSED!!

yey! contests ftw, i cant wait to see people's designs

i just sent one in =]

I can understand WHY they chose this theme for this poster but...its a little over the top..so what he's black..it could be just a regular poster. His race being the main focus show's whoever did this isn't really acknowledging anything else about him but the color of his skin and his background.

I think it's shit. just trying to protray him as something else he's not: working, and farming.

I think that whoever drew this is a great artiest but i think that Obama needs to be less like a slave cuz slave cant read he must be looking at the pictures lol j/k GO OBAMA U ROCK!!!!

i might have to steal myself one of those xD

mixed feelings.
im not sure what the people who made it are trying to say

At least it looks like he owns the farm

uhm, looks good to me?

!!!

weird hehe

it reminds me of those New Deal posters and murals.. hmmm

I HATE OBAMA!
i dont want him to be president.
so much for change!

no. fail. sorry, i don't like it one bit.

humm... this isn't the 1400s. lol!

intense

its kind of funny in a way...haha but whatever

deff makes him look like a slave.
and the slogan makes it look like that even more.
=/
eh not a very good poster.

sounds good:D

I love obama...but this poster makes him look like a slave lol

i looove the slogan but i'm pretty sure he's from chicago...

i live with cows...
yeah didn't want obama

ew, he obviously isnt going to dress up like a farmer anytime in his presidency, so this is like a lie

Hell yeah! I'm in!

Its called a metaphor people. He is appealing to the middle class. I think its unique. Kudos to the Obama Campaign. <3 Add me on myspace: myspace.com/paris_101

bahaha,
we shall have an unexperienced moron running our country, all because of the color of his skin.

i think its a little tooo straight up.

he looks like he could be a slave

eh i dont like it that much

Lets get in our merry chuck wagons and plow our way up north to the ye olde Washington DC to watch out head plow-manager get a job as imperial President!

uhh. okayyy. lmao.

WTF

Thats Racist

ok?
whats the point in this?
stupid.

I belive this trying to remind us what african americans went thru. You know like plantations and not being able to read. I dont think that its the best idea for a poster like this. I dont know what this poster would be good for, maybe a photo in a history book. I like Obama, but I understand were your coming from...interesting poster.

the obama poster is awesome. and pink ball contests is a great idea!

i don'tt like it.
he looks likee a slavee. =\

he's a pretty amazing dude

It's mostly using what he 'is' more than what he will do. Not bad for publicity, though. It says he's a hardworker. And that he's smart.

that's a poor choice of poster

i dont get itt,?

i dont get it xP
but i absolutely love obama.

uhm-
this is not very well done.
hahaa.
i dont like it.

oh god, for petes sake, lincoln has like this same drawling, and like, obama swore on the bible , and so did lincoln , and like , lincoln fought for rights, so , yerp , its just a sign , hop off, i heart obama <3

that is sort of disrespectful.
i don't like it.

hmm...o.kie. that's..interesting.
i thought the phrase "of the ppl, by the ppl...for the ppl" was a communist motto..

<--- add me. (:

It's pure propaganda. people shouldnt have voted for him because hes black and their portraying him as a feild worker? He isn't and never was a man who worked in the feild. I don't like it.

I'm really glad that he won. And this might sound bad, but it kind of makes him look like a slave from long ago. I don't like it.

this contest idea is pretty neat.
i dont like this poster at all. its kinda degrading to him.
afterall, the person thats going to govern our country shouldnt be portrayed so lowly.

i dont get it.

dumb. i dont like it, ;//

i dont like it very much :/

Obama!!
Ilovehimm!

looks qreat!

it's good but i don't like the farmer part.
i don't get it.

I think it does show where he comes from and he worked hard. But I also think that it hints to slavery which is not a good thing. Just take it how you want

lmao! this is clever and he's wearing skinny jeans hehe ;]]

Obama: The farmer of the century.

i'm...sick...of...OBAMA!!!! ER! why do u need a poster of this guy?!?!?!? i mean come on! what person will have a poster of this in their room?!?!?

LMAO, but seriously. people need to get over this.

I think it needs a bit more...color.

like it needs to have like flowers if its a farm or something..

i dont like itt.

Oh wow. Anyone else think this looks a bit racist?

hmmm. seems cliche. oh well. hope he doesn't fuck our country up.

haha i don't get it.
but i'm not really into politics so it's all good.

and yess i'd love more pinkball contests!

uhh. idk i think the way he looks and how the background looks is a little disturbing but i like the quote i guess....

The first thing I thought about when I saw this poster was B.O. as a slave. I'm totally against racism and the fact that us American's took our own flesh and blood, and we worked them to the damn bone. We're all human and we all deserve some respect...

Seriously im glad he was chosen , We need a change in the world and This is a great start !

Wtf? Really now.

not a good idea.

Yeah i dont like it.
Its kindaa racist dont ya think?
I mean im not racist and i think its great we have a black president for the first time but everyone is making such a big deal and its taking racism to the next level. He's not even full black... he's mixed. But i'm just not feeling the poster.

definitely not feeling this poster. i see what it's portraying, but this is too outdated. he looks like a slave, and slavery has been abolished for almost 150 years

it seems.
like idk. i just dont like this one.
it makes him look like a slave. which is done and over with and in the past times.
which is annoying to me.

Thats racist. People dont do it..

when i say which is annoying to me. i mean this poster***

it portrays how far america has come since slavery.. now we have an african american as a president. it's amazing

i like the obey one more

i voted for mccain

horrible poster.
how does it relate to the quote?

hmmmm..

lol interesting

it kinda makes me think "slavery." how the black man went from slaves to a black man as president.

I WILL MURDER BARACK OBAMA.

why is he just standing there? shouldn't he be digging or something?

soo does this person have the same portrayal of all african americans?

That poster just makes me laugh and I don't know why. It's kind of strange.
Pink Ball contests sound super duper.

i dont like it... too fake

i think that it makes sense, the poster, but its kind of controversial.

some people might tke it the wrong way and associate it with slavery.

ehhh i guess so.
but you gotta make it worth our while.
100 points?
i'm feeling 200-250?

Perfect vision of his Marxist ideals. However, they forgot the mass of uniformed youth behind him high stepping and singing "He's gonna change the woooooooooorld!"

obama is from hawai'i and last time i checked its not exactly like he's ever had to do some hard labor in his life any ways
and besides its missing the most important part of the statement, saying he's of the people just says he's human, for the people should be a given he's an elected official, if he's not for the people he should have never even been a nominee, but the thing that actually makes america what it is, is that its by the people, if we are gonna leave that part out, we are no longer america

I dunno. It doesn't scream a huge "YES!" to me like I think the inauguration poster should. I mean, it's not bad, and I get the idea behind it. It's just...something's not working for me, I guess.

hmm
unrealsitic
but cool..i guess

please, contests!

I can't wait for more pinkball contests.

Wow. They should've just made him a plumber...

this just furthers the african american stereotype from the past, this is terrible!

this is interesting.

i dont think this shows his background or where he comes from...i think its stereotypical.
other than that im just now really feeling it

it looks like Russian realist paintings ...or maybe a bit later era.

I'm still flabbergasted at the fact of how quickly he was accepted be everyone. He seems to be thought of as the savior of America. Frankly I do not believe that but oh well I just have to deal with it. The reality is that he really is the president.

i dont love the poster, it could have been better
but i like the idea of the pink ball contests =]

the first thing that i thought when i saw the poster was, that he was a hard-working farmer who own his land, not of a slave working someone else's land
haha.
but it doesnt really point out the struggles, it mainly points out the hard work.
i wished i had time to design one myself =[

The first thing that came to mind for me was Emerson's (?) Self Reliance, for some reason. I like the slogan. Not totally crazy about the graphic, but could be worse.

For those mentioning that it signifies hard work, remember this, he cheated his way into political office from the very beginning. He didn't get it through hard work. He got it by having everyone else on the ballot disqualified. This made him the ONLY one on the ballot. He has lied and cheated his way into the Presidency, and now the mindless morons have their Messiah. Enjoy it while it lasts, because you will be working hard soon for the Messiah.

hahahaha this poster just makes me laugh.

wow. this is just...wow =\

maybe the field is the country and its his job to make it grow

i dont like this much it seems kinda racist on my view

Love Obama, but don't think the public will get it. Needs to be more inclusive side of how we brings opposing groups of people together. More of a unifying soul that he is.

poster looks faded w/no energy, needs 2 b more inspiring

That's a very interesting poster with a powerful message. I think it's an awesome idea to do a contest. I think I'm game.

no, he's not a farmer, but they are trying to get the whole "southern" feel because Obama is black, and for years many african americans have been fighting for rights, where emancipation originally started in the north, and then was fought over in the South. African Americans were the life of the South, because of the many jobs they did, therefore creating a huge influence on the country for years to come.

wow, it's beautiful and i love the 'of the people, for the people' concept but i agree with ChelsDickx3 that it does look like he's a slave and i don't like that. but again, it's beautiful!! i could never make something like that.

this is very intersting.

Yay! =]

Is he supposed to look like a slave? Huh?

Love the tag line though.

i dont like it, it just looks like a farmer who knows how to read

love obama, hate the pic

I really dont like this.. it comes across as sort of slave day-ish... =/?

I'll be working on the poster
Brewing up some ideas ^_^

there's got to be a better way to show his hard work than this.

I didn't see it as a slavery thing, I saw it as refering to his middle american heritage. (Like... farm land and stuff.) I guess I overlook his race so much that it didn't even pop into my mind.

lol wtf, it does make him look like a slave. I'm not feelin' it. The poster should be more relevant to things he's actually DONE, not some farmer BS.

obama, love him, get into huge arguements because i think he is possibly one of the greatest men of our generation, but i dont like this picture...

where is the pink bal in the poster there?

No, I can't grasp the feeling at all. Not racist or anything, but the first thing that popped up in my head was, "So he's a slave?" Not a good poster.

he looks like an Abe Lincoln wannabe...
