Obama replaces 50 states with himself on US flag artwork
President Barack Obama may have been having a good political week, but if the latest artwork from his reelection campaign is any indicator, it might have all gone to his head.While one of my blue state friends pointed this out:
A tweet sent out today by the President's official Twitter account proclaimed "A poster to say there are no red states or blue states, only the United States."

Honestly, It's difficult to be sympathetic with the red states' outrage when they have done exactly the same thing:
