		<description>Its cynical, the artist is depicting the pretty picture that surrounds the man.   

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a president that we could all feel good about?”   

He has some elements of zombie like followers, which is what you get when you talk like a preacher.  Preachers look for your emotions, they can really get you going, he really outed himself on John Stuart.  Stuart asked him to Obamatise some statements and he did it on queue, listen for the inflection, its heavy.    

The Mark of the Maker, more cynicism the hand of god…a preacher. 

I would say he sat in the church and asked himself how does he do that, and he figured it out and emulates it.  He could get you clapping and dancing in the isles, but only if you want to clap and dance in the isles.   

Nobody corners the preacher though, and this ones got the race card, watch out. 

What happens if you stood up and told the preacher that he is full of shit and why?  Now you are a white man and it is a black congregation.</description>

		<description>The background of the picture almost certainly portrays downtown Portland (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.westernpacificcollege.com/Images/Why_Portland_Picture_1_1.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;). And the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rosefestival.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Portland Rose Festival&lt;/a&gt; is REALLY big. I don&#039;t know about the horse/unicorn, but I assume that&#039;s also Portland-related.

The figure of Barack Obama emerging from the river (the Willamette) seems reminiscent of a baptism. Perhaps the artist is alluding to one of the baptisms of the Bible, e.g., Moses, John or Jesus, with Sen. Obama corresponding to one of the three?</description>

		<description>Correction: Joseph a GREAT &quot;hand-crafted Kentucky bourbon whiskey.&quot;

Is it really a unicorn in the background?

Jill, ask the artist what he or she drew if they had gone with Clinton.  Ha!</description>
