"Bold Action - Or Compromise" New Shepard Fairey Obama Print.

[Clio the Leo]

For the cover of the 8/20 Rolling Stone.....

Appearing on the cover of the Aug. 20 Rolling Stone, the portrait depicts Obama with a brow knit in determination, surrounded by a halo of stars.

"Will he take bold action or compromise too easily?" asks a headline enshrining the President's head.

Fairey said it wasn't meant to be a halo. Rather, the picture he worked from showed Obama standing in front of the presidential seal, he said.

"It's one thing to be running for president and it's another to be President and I think this new illustration that I did hopefully captures the complexity and the weight of his new role," Fairey said.

"Not only will we see how he performs, but also whether we as Americans will now help him and continue to push for the changes we asked for."

1. He's a gifted illustrator, but I don't believe it's as simple as

the words he chose to use would have one think.

He could take "Bold Action" and veto any HC bill which included what many people would see as "too much compromise" and end up leaving us all just exactly where we are.
What would "bold action" have gained anyone?

It's easy to lay everything on Obama's plate, but he ISN'TGOD or KING- he is the President, he IS limited in what he can accomplish without the backing of every single Dem. Congressperson.
