Graffiti is about freedom. I celebrate the freedom of both the artist and the person who defaced the portrait of Obama. In fine arts, people ask "what is art?" And I always say the true question is, "What is good art?" The defacing of Obama is obviously someone lacking the creativity and the political understanding of an average house plant. Obama is a slightly left of center Democrat. Nazis are extreme conservatives. Democrats, and liberals want everyone to have the freedom to live and prosper. Nazis want to control the masses and only offer prosperity to a chosen few. And as far as graffiti art goes, only quality survives. The scribe who scribbled the swastika should set aside the paint can, as anything he/she chooses to create will probably not last long.
