About this creation
This portrait of Barack Obama was created in the style of artist Shepard Fairey's iconic "Hope" portrait but was made in the likeness of the official portrait of President Barack Obama.

I created this portrait to commemorate Obama's inauguration as the 44th president of the United States on 20-Jan 2009.

20" x 25" ~ 1,275 LEGO pieces.

I like it! Especially as Obama got reelected...:) |

Absolutely incredible. I am (and will be in 2012) a supporter of Barack Obama, but even if you aren't, this is not the place for outright rude and unjust political drama. Have some respect for the man that leads the country we all love. |

Hope!! Change!! Hopey changey hopey changey! *vomit* Gak. Change is somtimes for the worse. Change is movement. Movement causes friction. You did a fantastic job, but I extremly dislike Obama. You should of made it a portrait of sombody who actually acomplished something in life. Like one of the former presidents.
I WAS AT THE 9/12 PROTEST AND I'M PROUD OF IT!!!
P.S. Nice MOC. |

A lego portrait of the president who puts all of his hope in the failure of America. I hope 2012 comes quick! (He'll be out of office!) |

the tan looks really good on it kind of like shading. the colors are all good too. nice jo even if i dnt like him. and Calloum Wood, your acting like Bush single-handedly ruined the world. he made good and not so good choices like everybody but you cant just pin everything on him. of well. another great MOC, Sean. |

callum wood, george w. bush has been one of the best presidents ever. he lowered taxes to best of his extent, and he gave us tax refunds. he kept his head when the terrorists attacked us, and we captured sadam hussein. how can you critisize bush???? ohh, this is supposed to be about the moc. very good style with the bricks. although i wanted mccain to win, i think obama will hopefully be a good president. |

Go Obama! His guy who swore him in, messed up his oath of office. Oh well, At least the world was peaceful under Biden's 7-minute presidency. But, hey, GO OBAMA!!!!!

This is a very nice moc Sean. I like the coloring effect. If you have the time please check out my Sorry and Thanks moc.
P.S. Thankyou so very much for not banning me though I deserved it. |

Callum: Bush had quite a few good moments, a few bad ones, and a whole lot of funny ones. Besides the fact that he increased Government spending and didn't protect our borders as well as he could, I thought he did a fairly good job, especially with protecting us from another terrorist attack. That said, you're absolutely right about Sean honoring Obama as our president, and how everyone should critique the MOC instead of the man being potrayed. And I'll add that this is an excellent piece of work, Sean. |

Good God! Bush drove America and the rest of the world into the ground, and people still like him! And why should Sean not be able to show his political belief without crititcisim? The whole point of MOC pages is the LEGO anyway, so why do you rate this MOC low just because of the subject? Bloody philistines. And one-bomb me all you want, I will not change my opinion just because of a few people who think their veiw is the only one - A very pissed off Callum |

I'm watching him swearing in right now. I might be English, but American politics affect everything, so I can't wait until Obama is the official president. He actually CAN make a change, I know I beleive in him. Anyways, this looks exactly like him, nice work - Callum |
