Congratulations to Barack Obama on becoming the 44th president of the United States of America. Here’s a special remix by Z-Trip cutting together our next Commander-In-Cheif’s message with a wall pasting by Shepard Fairey outside of Fresh Pressed here in Los Angeles.

OBAMA rules…

I wasn’t ready to really believe it until I heard the acceptance speech after watching the last two elections. I was so amazed thinking, “Wow, we have a president who’s smarter than me again. Did really get used to having someone lead the country who can’t complete a sentence?”
Obama is the first politician I can remember who sounded like he was speaking to intelligent adults about working together to solve important issues (economics, heath care, wars) rather than finding someone to fear or blame for our problems.
When I heard Obama give his speech on race I realized that being both black and white put him in a unique position to talk about racial issues in a way that people would not accept if he were either one or the other. I think Barack Obama is poised to be one of the most important leaders in American history and I’m proud to have voted for him.
