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 Stencil Graffiti
Stencil graffiti is growing in popularity and is often political in nature. These are some great examples of Barack Obama stencil graffiti.

The (Street) Art of Stencil Graffiti

Stencil graffiti is growing in popularity worldwide. This street art can be a few simple words, or a grand scale art piece. Because it is cheap, quick, and easy, this style of graffiti has grown tremendously. Often the stencils express political and...
Wear Obama
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.

Anti-McCain Graffiti
I have still not been able to find one single pro-McCain stencil on the web. These are a few anti-McCain works:
Four More Years
McCain Palin Empire First
20,000 more years in IRAQ
McClane not McCain
Anti-Palin Graffiti
The selection of Sarah Palin as McCain's VP choice may have thrown a curve ball at the campaign, but I suspect she did as much harm as good. These street artists are clearly not fans.
Polar Bears Against Palin
Pit Bull Palin
Palin Hates Trees
Palin Hates Polar Bears
Culture of Corruption
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?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byNo, It is just graffiti, it means nothing.

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.

My guess is that McCain supporters are less likely to break the laws against defacing public property with graffiti.

No, I don't think it means he has more support necessarily, but there just seems to be more artists that support Obama.

Yes, it shows he is more on the minds of the public.

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.

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.... :)

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.

While not as permanent as painted graffiti, chalk drawings are a popular street art that can leave a poignant message. Whether it is a grand piece of art, or simple lettering, chalk drawings can certainly drive home a point.
Grassroots
These photos show street art with little planning. They are a testament of how widespread his support is, and how some people will do anything to get out his name, albeit in an ugly and illegal manner.

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/
