Is that painted in a school?

[CE]

Couldn't they at least cover that election poster/mural with a sheet? Or maybe some paint?

[AlmightyJB]

I don't get how it's legal for them not to do that. Sure the feds will be right on that.

[Brutus]

Pfffffttt....hahahahaha!! Yeah, Eric and the boys'll get right on it.

[shamalam]

A white sheet? Why don't you just admit you are a RACIST!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Dear Leader looks pretty presidential on that wall, although I don't think He should have been licking that ice cream cone while getting His mural painted.

[DK]

Maybe Chris Matthews should leave some of his tingle on that ice cream cone. NTTAWWT.

[DJF]

Yes, but nobody in the picture is wearing a T shirt with a message so its OK.

[The Immaculate Trouser]

Wow, Morgan Freeman looks really weird with a soul patch.

[Groovus Maximus]

Lenin would be proud.

[Scruffy Nerfherder]

It's Philadelphia people. Expect the outrageous and ridiculous.

[Trespassers W]

How is that legal?

[AlmightyJB]

That's not a picture of Obama the candidate, it's a picture of Obama the president silly.

[Rich]

*Please* let a lawsuit be filed to tie up the results.

[AlmightyJB]

Saw that the Panthers were back as well. Not sure if they're sporting the latest in Billy Club accessories again this time.

[Fatty Bolger]

Apparently not, from what I've seen.

[Fatty Bolger]

Seen reported, that is. I'm not in Philadelphia, thankfully.

[Episiarch]

As absurd as that is, does anyone think it would actually get anyone to change their vote? So who really gives a shit.

[Scruffy Nerfherder]

Internet commenters care dammit!

You unfeeling bastard. I cried when I cast my vote away this morning.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Oh please. You walk into that whatever the fuck that place is and see that there? You would be humping Obama's name selection on the voting machine, if not the wall painting itself.

[AlmightyJB]

There are some pretty stupid people out there. Quite a few actually.

[Pro Libertate]

Ye gods.

[Caleb Turberville]

"Barack Hussein Obama. MMM. MMM. MMM."

[R C Dean]

Clearly, the Philly Dems have some kind of master plan for committing fraud. Else why would there be a coordinated eviction of Republican watchers.

They had to know it wouldn't stand, so whatever they were planning had to be something they could do in a few hours, at most.

I'm thinking they took their window of opportunity here to stuff the ballot boxes. It will be interesting to see if an unexpectedly (!) high number of "registered" "voters" "voted" in those precincts.

But that, of course, would require media investigations and reporting that might embarrass the Dems, so I doubt we'll ever know.

[Fatty Bolger]

Hard to see what else could be behind it, besides fraud.

[Doktor Kapitalism]

What I don't get is election fraud is safe states and districts. Is Romney somehow going to eek out a win in Illinois is they don't stuff those Chicago ballot boxes?

[protefeed]

There are other races besides Prez and congress. And PA isn't a total slamdunk for Obama.

[protefeed]

It's pretty easy to commit fraud if no poll watchers are in place before the polls open. I was a poll watcher at a precinct, and one of the things I observed before the polls opened was the person running the precinct opening up the voting machines to show there were no voted ballots inside before voting started.

[sage]

This guy's legacy is going to be curing millions of people that are constipated. That picture is giving me the shits.

[Anonymous Coward]

Damn server lag. This sort of shit didn't happen when Lucy Steigerwald was here.

[Doktor Kapitalism]

Drink?

[Ayn Random Variation]

My power just came on. Today I learned that Obama cut the deficit and has created millions of jobs. I have heard that Slick Willy is going around singing the praises of honesty.
Clearly, Earth has entered into some type of temporal vortex and is an alternate universe and I haven't heard about it yet.
Please advise.

[Fladnag the Yarg]

Fear not Ayn, the worm hole will return you to one of two identical versions of hell by the end of the night.

[Bobarian]

Didn't you notice that the waters had receded as well and global climate change was getting better...

[Fatty Bolger]

When I went to vote I heard Obama talking on the radio to Ryan Seacrest. He said we should vote for him because when he took over we were in two wars and the economy was shitty, and look at us now. Which is funny, because I could swear that one of the wars was over when he took over, the other he escalated, and a third little war he started all on his own, and it seems to me that the economy is still pretty shitty. Oh, he also said that he will blow up the education bubble even more by increasing student loans. So there's that.

[0x90]

But what about all the Romney murals Reason isn't writing about?

[T o n y]

FOX News told me one Black Panther is gonna steal the whole election.

[MP]

IT"S GOING 2 B ACORN ALL OVER AGIN LIBRUALLLLAASS AAAFFHFHAKLSJ!!!

[Skip]

I'm sure they'll be reporting this on MSNBC any second now......

[The Late P Brooks]

HOPE to never see that face anymore.

Election Judge Wears Obama Cap While Checking in Voters in Obama's Chicago Ward.

"The voter who took the photo says: 'Woman in front of me also given an extra ballot.'"

[GILMORE]

Teddy Pendergrass looks old in that painting.

[db]

To me it looks like the artist drew Obama turning away from a crowd shouting "CHANGE!" while whispering only of "hope."
