Ron English Emancipates Barack Obama

Billboard usurping culture jammer, Ron English, created this dramatic image of an Abraham Lincoln - Barack Obama fusion to help promote the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Like the Obamartists before him, this print will be sold via Upper Playground and is part of an ongoing effort by the 008 Movement to get the country's first black man in the White House. In the wake of Hillary Clinton evoking the assassination of RFK to describe why she's not leaving the race, not to mention the punditry continually equating Obama to JFK, we'll have to admit to being a little concerned with the junior senator now being depicted as the 16th President of the United States. Granted, Lincoln and both the Kennedy brothers are all considered iconic American political heroes, but they also share something else in common: assassination.
