Students from a California high school art class were asked by their teacher to draw the 2008 presidential candidates from memory. The results? A profound reflection of the media’s role in politics. Looking for a dissertation topic? You’re welcome.

awesome. fucking awesome.
Indeed. I’m particularly fond of Nosferatu Obama (#6), Night Stalker Obama (#8), and John Wayne Gacy McCain (#8).
The #8′s (Obama & McCain) remind me of a police sketch of an unknown criminal. It begs me to ask myself if I have seen either of these two and to beware of them. The suspicion here is that the person who drew these does not trust either candidate.
The #8 Obama looks like a young homosexual black male who might be turning tricks or wanted for a b and e. The #8 McCain is definitely a goddamn pedofile.
The #7′s interact well together. They are almost “comedy” (Obama) and “tragedy” (McCain). This artist believes that Obama is a sure win.
#4 Obama is evil hiding behind a big toothed smile. #4 McCain is someone’s fat ass grandpa. (non-threatening and not evil. happy as a fat ass old man with minor dementia could be.)
#1 Obama looks mostly white. I suspect this to be the art work of someone who believes Obama to be mostly white, perhaps not truly black, even not black enough. Still though, he looks goofy, a definite insult. Very nearly appears “clownish”. The #1 McCain looks like a demented nursing home resident. It almost asks you to wipe its ass or pass him a bed pan.
