    No Hope

    Is there anyone involved with Obama who doesn't have a criminal record?

    http://www.boston.com/news/local/mas...ted_in_boston/

    Sounds to me like he was arrested for spray painting on walls. Heck, any dummy with a can of Krylon can do that ... but this guy is an artist!

    Favorite quote: "The fact that he is arrested for his art shows that it is meaningful to him and he cares about what he is doing."

    Uh, I believe he was arrested for what the rest of call "vandalism". And of course he cares, he's not the one who has to scrub it off.

    Someone care to post some artistic, beautiful graffiti to counter the argument that it's "vandalism"?

    When it's done right, it's amazing - when it's just rubbish tagging, then it's vandalism...there is a difference
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    It's a moral grey area IMO - some people can make great art with a wall and a can of spray paint, but if the owner of the property doesn't want any art on his wall, then does that mean his rights have been impinged? I dunno, probably.

    As far as the political side of this thread goes, I have to say a big "so what!?". We've all done something illegal at some point in our lives. Personally, I'd rather the world's leaders were flawed human beings like the best of us, as opposed to obsessive moralists who would undoubtedly want to impose their values on us.

    Some graffiti is extremely artistic & i respect the talent that the artist has,but it still makes an area look rough!The only graffiti artist i really like is banksy,but theres far more political & social punch in his work than just tags & cartoons..

    When you OWN the wall you can paint it how you like. When it belongs to somebody else and you paint it anyway then it;s probably vandalism no matter how artistic.

    Hmm lets see...spraypainting a wall isnt a very
    professional thing to do for sure for a cabinet member.

    But what about Bush? THE PRESIDENT?
    he is the only president elected with a criminal record
    he was arrested THREE times.

    The first arrest of George W. Bush was for theft at a hotel.
    The second arrest was for disorderly conduct at a football game.
    The third arrest-- drunk driving.

    Plus he was a KNOWN cocaine user.

    And lets not leave out Dick Cheney the VICE PRESIDENT
    he was arrested twice- for drunk driving.

    this is all public record, a simple google search can verify.
    its not liberal media propaganda.

    no, cabinet members shouldnt spraypaint walls.

    But the last administration and those who
    praise it should be careful of what they post.
    It just might make thier heroes look bad.

    And for the record bush and obama can both go eat shit.
    but dont play like Bush and Cheney and thier crew were saints.

    Yes, this is indeed a high crime against humanity. We should impeach Obama immediately, and install Chancelor Palin as the Commander in Chief. I am sure that our standing in the world, the respect that the Presidency receives, and all of our financial problems will be immediately improved. I mean hey, intelligence, thoughtfulness and sincere caring are all highly overrated. And of course, everyone should be held accountable for the actions of others, not their own.

    I thought we were talking about the guy who painted the wall he doesen't own? When do we get to the point where everything isn't Bush's fault and people are responsible for themselves?

    Hmm...I dont recall ever saying it was ok for
    the guy to spraypaint a wall. hes a shithead.

    and isnt the first line of this thread:
    "Is there anyone involved with Obama who doesn't have a criminal record?"

    That line doesnt mention anything about who owns a wall.

    It is an attack on the Obama presidency.

    And seeing how both the last President and Vice President
    have criminal records, i dont see how anyone would even
    be dumb enough to attack CABINET members in an administration
    when the EXECUTIVES from the last one
    committted worse crimes and more of them.

    Pls dont think i am so stupid to beleive this is about who owns a fucking wall.

    First off, did you even read the article? It is not about one of Obama's cabinet members, it is an article about Shepard Fairey the artist who designed Obama's campaign posters.

    So? It seems that two of our recent presidents, and our current prez, were involved in drug use at some point in their lives. Big deal. It was the sign of the times that they (and some of us on this board) grew up in. Heck, Obama even admitted that he "inhaled" and that is one of the few (very few) things I can find to admire about him.

    You are operating under the assumption that anyone who is critical of Obama must be a Bush/Cheney fan.
