The White Obama and the Black McCain - Neatorama

Grey NYC's Creative director Tor Myhren came up with this brilliant poster to bring into the forefront what a lot of people have been thinking of, but couldn't bring themselves to say in polite company: the issue of race in the 2008 US Presidential election.

Regardless of what you think of the candidates, I'm sure you can marvel at the photoshoppery of turning Obama and McCain into persons of another race: Link - via Miss Cellania

At a glance, we only had handful of (and not to mention, mild) political posts - so on the eve of this historic election, let me ask you this: what would you say to someone who's on the fence on either candidates? Why should I vote for Barack Obama or John McCain?

It doesn't matter who anybody voted for since they are both puppets controlled by the "powers that be" (the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group). No real change will be forthcoming. Obama proves once again that the only way for a black man to get anywhere in this country is by kissing up to white folks and being the establishment's tool. McCain? That would have been obvious if the puppetmasters rigged it for him to "win" but Obama? He's been in their pocket since he was a community organizer and will be their happy new face for continuation of the same Cheneyite policies. Look at all his advisers on the campaign trail and in the transition as well as his cabinet. Obama is a neo-con in very thin disguise. "Change we can believe in" brought to you by Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan Chase...

Obama is not the Messiah, McCain is not the Devil, Obama is not a terrorist and McCain is not Bush II.

Hi Mr. Brain: It's me again. No bladder problems here. Yea, I've worked with those kind of people too! I'm really a nice person. I just had an opinion like anyone else and maybe I did go too far wishing Sarah a good trip home. Sorry if I offended you and anybody else. Peace, Love and Happiness to you and yours.
