Limited edition Inaugural poster by Shepard Fairey brings odd reaction on Oconee Dems listserv




There is no denying that President Barack Obama effectively incorporated and expertly exploited various distinctive images in a manner that was unprecedented in politics, marking the Obama brand beyond just fashion or trendy appea. Artist Shepard Fairey created the iconic images. This was sent to an Oconee County Democratic Committee listserv and one of the members blew a gasket over it and was immediately pelted with stinky rotten vegetables, er, at least a few polite rebukes. I have yet to receive the posters or the pencils or the $140 basketball jersey or other items I have ordered with complete faith and trust in the Obama online team. So I will let you decide yourself whether you want to pay $20 here or $100 at the other site. I collect distinctive political imagery and I did buy two posters.
Hey Oconee Democrat readers or members,

I just ordered a limited edition inauguration poster by graphic artist Shepard Fairey.

I thought you might be interested in getting your own:

I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
