Passion for politics

I’m far away from American politics although we all see the latest news about the presidential race daily on various media. One of the remarkable things in this campaign is the passion from the Barack Obama fans. In this post two examples.

The poster above is made by Shepherd Farey from Obey Giant and is made for bring awareness to the Obama Campaign. The poster was available in a limited edition of 350.
The poster was for sale but it sold out pretty quickly but the b&w version is now available for download.

This video left me in awe, with goosebumps all over. It’s hiding on your page. I visit every day but had to lurk deeper to find it. This sort of message needs to scream from the web - it’s so powerful.
