I’m Canadian and am absolutley thrilled to see Obama in the White House. There has not been a buzz like this since Kennedy.

Honestly, these simply aren’t good design. If the subject wasn’t Obama’s face, they would not make it on the site. The style is reminiscent of Soviet Propaganda. Maybe the artist wasn’t aware of this. The color choices are just bizarre.

I’m a month late in commenting, but just saw this post and couldn’t resist sharing this humorous personal anecdote. It still makes me laugh when I think of it. I was born in 1960 and cannot recall my parents EVER showing an interest in world affairs or EVER expressing an opinion about politics. Yet, when I was 6 or 7, I had an 8×10″ photo of John Kennedy on my bedroom wall. I am Catholic, so maybe the nuns handed out the photos at school. At any rate, while my sisters chose pop stars as their imaginary husbands when we played house as little girls, I pretended that I was Mrs. Kennedy. Later when I learned about his legacy, I teased my sisters about my excellent taste in husbands. I was right. My soul-mate and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this Spring. So you never know what good things an image of a president in a young child’s room might inspire! : )

Hey guys… I’m sorry about freaking everybody out with my comment. I do respect the new president, although I disagree with his policies. This election was hard for us conservatives… I’m sure that Democrats out there can understand, remember how you felt back in 2000 when Al Gore lost to George Bush.

Basically… I just really like this blog, and I wish that it could be a “politically free” zone, but I guess that is just wishful thinking. Grace, continue to post what you will, I will try not to spark controversy in the future.

Denise: AMEN

I too thought the original post was overcautious about angry comments, but whoa. These guys are VERY angry. I wonder what they think they’ve lost.
I’m not particularly in love with these posters, but then again I don’t love everything on design sponge. Just most things, so keep it coming, Grace!

Geez, Grace. You would think that a few posters of the president elect could be posted without this fuss. Don’t they know they are going to be seeing a lot more of him in the next four years?

” I really would like to continue reading this blog but if Grace chooses to acknowledge Obama’s existence , I will probably stop.”
