I don't really know how to introduce this

[Indy Coug]

After being sorely vexed by Jackson Pollock's work, I really appreciate someone who throws me a friggin' bone.

To those who scoff or wish to trivialize this painting, I challenge you… I DARE YOU… study the links of the various symbols and metaphors that you see. There are over 60 in the painting. No person can analyze this image and learn about these facts and still, in good conscience, vote for Obama in 2012.

I do not hate Obama, but I hate the fact that I had to paint this picture. Has the painting gone too far? I knew when I did this that most Obama supporters would reject what I have done. But as a Conservative, I’m fed up with the corruption in Washington. And I’m sick of the political correctness that has derailed our country!

My art is an expression of the times in which I live and people will know how Jon McNaughton felt about being alive in America in 2012.

Take the Challenge! If you still choose Obama, congratulations…you’re a part of the Obamanation.

I can't decide which metaphor is my favorite.

Maybe the soldier eating gay-wedding cake.

Or perhaps the illegal immigrants fleeing the Arizona flag for the Mexican.

It's not a great image, but the glowing commentary associated with the Hosni Mubarak portrait brought an LOL out of me. Especially when it mentions the "Shaw" of Iran.

Is that Brian (the LA Laker), or George Bernard?

Must...stop...looking at picture...I want to vote for Obama....but his metaphors and symbols are so powerful and convincing....

I got a kick out of the autographed football and, in what I can only assume is a channeling of his inner WALL-E, the tiny green plant emerging from the crack in the pavement.....HOPE! (irony of the "hope" metaphor aside, of course)

I think the metaphor of Jeremiah Wright as a gigantic cock is my personal favorite.

He uses metaphor in the same way a drunk 800 pound gorilla uses a conductor's baton to lead an orchestra.

Good catch. i missed the plant. I'll bet it's also a marijuana plant to symbolize those legalizing hippie libs.

I respectfully disagree. I think he is a master of subtlety.

I have a real problem with this painting.

If the golf bag is leaning right, the club heads would automatically fall to the right as well. There is no way the club heads would be pointing up hill. The irons are too elongated, they should be more balanced. The driver head and the 3 and 5 wood heads as all the same size. The driver head should be twice the size of the 5 wood. There's also only 11 clubs in the bag, Obama is the kind of guy that would carry 15 clubs. If the artist/painter is going to fudge the details on this spotlight, what other details is he making up as he goes along.

Fraud. - The guy's not a golfer. I don't trust people that don't recreate like me.

I like Dmitry Medvedev's ear horn and the scowling Abe Lincoln portrait.

It's a metaphor. I dare you to study it.

Mitt looks like Will Ferrell.

I've talked about my ADHD problem a couple of times. Are you making fun of me? Daring me to do something you know I'm not capable of... And I counter your dare with an invitation to study the subtlety of golf humor, and the effects of gravity on stationary objects.

[Moliere]

damn he's good.
