the artist is identified; from Chicago......
I have heard the authorities are "going after" him......for what ..i do not know Firas Alkhateed is a 20-year-old college student who doesn't particularly like Obama but is not exactly a flaming right-wing nut case |

Yet they are not going after the countless other offenders who put up posters on those same walls. But I hadn't heard they going after the artist, like the article in the link says Bush was attacked relentlessly and defamed daily and no one said anything from the left that its wrong to depict the president in such a way.....until now! |

It's an ignorant disrespectful thing to do period, on either side. Because people aren't complaining doesn't mean they condone it, it just means they have better things to do.
I was curious about it because I never saw it before until a poster here used it as their main photo and in fact don't remember ever seeing one of Bush. It's no secret that I had little respect for Bush, but he was our president and I would not do that. Doing it to Obama certainly won't get those that support him to take that person seriously. |

Every president I have witnessed has had characatures adverse pictures made of them.
This one thinks he is somehow special and will go after those who express freedoms. |

It's a free country..I see this as a small issue compared to burning the flag, protesting funerals..etc. I love freedom of speech..many of the protests actually make me laugh. Like this pic of Obama. It is kinda funny, you have to admit. Bush was slammed daily..it comes with the job. Thick skin required.jmo
