I knew we were bamboozled as soon as he not only brought in Hillary Clinton to run the State Dept, but also all those former Clinton cronies, ie. Larry Summers, Rahm Emanuel, Eric Holder, and Janet Napolitano.
You correctly point out that this guy hasn’t changed anything, if not exacerbated an already bad global situation. I think the Wikileaks was far less about divulging national security secrets and far more about exposing the buffoonery and small mindedness of the people running our government, and I think they were embarassed by it. Hope and change you can’t believe in.

A very powerful piece.
And I agree completely.
That’s why I’ve always called him ‘Obushbama.’

Conceptually, when I first saw this I thought “Holy shit… what a good idea…hijack Obama’s ‘Hope’ symbol and replace it with his bloody dishonesty.” I hope I can make the gallery showing of these recent works. Thank you for making this piece, it made my day better, and I can’t wait to see it in person!
