Barack Obama Graffiti
In recent years, street art has become popular not just as names tagged on walls, but as political statements. Looking much like political cartoons, street art is a form of propaganda for and by the public.

Obama Murals
These grand displays of street art may be graffiti, but because of the time involved, I suspect most of them are with permission of the owner. Artwork like these define an era. It is extraordinary what inspired people can create, and most Obama supporters consider themselves inspired by him.
Your Opinion on Campaign Graffiti
These graffiti street art works are not sponsored by the campaign, but rather are expressions of support by individuals working on their own.

What does this all mean?
There is clearly much more Obama street art than McCain street art around.
Is the abundance of Obama graffiti, compared to McCain graffiti, proof that Obama has wider support?
No, It is just graffiti, it means nothing.
Reggie_Marigold says:
In this day and age it some of it could be people being paid to make it look like a grassroots movement. I find it to third worldish for my tastes. Then agian, I don't appreciate most graffiti as most graffiti has to be cleaned up/paid for by business people who've better things to do with their hard-earned time and money.
drresearch says:
I don't know if it shows favor one way or the other, But people have long sincwe used graffitti as means of communicating ideas and sounding off.
CCGAL says:
My guess is that McCain supporters are less likely to break the laws against defacing public property with graffiti.
kiwisoutback says:
No, I don't think it means he has more support necessarily, but there just seems to be more artists that support Obama.
JanaMurray says:
Proves to me how many vulnerable minds are watching too much television. Obama Video Showcase
Yes, it shows he is more on the minds of the public.
eyecontact says:
Vanguard creative types are drawn to the imaginative possibilities Obama communicates, IMO. Hence, so much really fine honestly inspired art-making! We can all work together now, all those who want a better world.
SoyCandleLover-Maker says:
But it may be the younger public who is more accepting of graffiti. I can't envision the more conservative McCain supporters doing so... lol... funny picture just streaked through the imagination.... :)
songphon says:
I like "Spraypainted Obama Mural" that awesome!!!!
EaglePress22 says:
Clearly people worldwide feel that President-Elect Barack Obama represents something new and promising in the world of political leadership. His intelligence is evident in his ideas and his abilities are proven by his very successful campaign.

I personally love a great mural and if only some of these eager graffiti artist would commit themself to learn the art of painting they might just surprise themselves to be more talent than they realised.

- I love the whole stencil artwork scene. This is a British artist called Banksy who has done lots of street art, a lot of which is targeted towards political subjects. Anyone interested in street art should check him out at http://www.banksy.co.uk/
