Hat tip to Sarolta Cump for all of these Homeland-Security finds. Some of the photos were taken before the presidential race got going, but they present issues that have very much carried through into the campaign.

On the Leap Day of this Leap Year, Paul McRae, well, leapt. For Obama. Outside the "Hope" mural (inspired by Shepard Fairey's poster) on the wall of the Obama headquarters in Houston, Texas. (Thanks, Ann Raber.)

Seen by Orlando-based Cavale in a Florida campground she wasn't fond of, this car-window graffiti (thanks, James Mills):

Cavale ended up leaving the campground even though she had a new tent and couldn't get her money back. It seems this car wasn't directly to blame.

Rather behind the news on this one, but it seemed worth noting the huge number of Barack/Berlin photos that have shown up on Flickr since Obama's foreign-policy speech in Germany on July 24th. Here are a few of the ones we found last week.
Gregory Donovan, "Educator, Agitator, Aggregator" from Brooklyn, ...

In the last month or so, to inject his campaign with new energy, John McCain promoted several staffers who were part of Karl Rove's hard-hitting re-election bid for Bush in 2004.
Since then, McCain has accused Obama of wanting to lose the Iraq war, insinuated that he's a socialist, and juxtaposed ...

PJ Chmiel from Louisville, Kentucky, is a vegan graphic/web designer who'd like to make his own clothes someday. He was rooting for Kucinich, but now he'd be happy with a choice of Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney. He thinks the two-party system is "bullshit" and has no love for McCain ...

The stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process is one piece of the Middle-East dynamic that McCain or Obama will inherit. Obama got a small taste of its complexity on his visits to Israel and the West Bank last week. Eddie Vassallo recorded this sentiment in Er Ram, on the West Bank side ...

James Mills just turned up these two bumper stickers. The first, from Moltron 3030, was taken on a farewell tour of Eugene (Oregon?), where she and her friend Lizz (featured here) have lived since 2004:

Barack Obama heads to Europe and the Middle East this weekend. It looks like he may receive some friendly greetings in Iraq, but it seems fairly certain he'll be welcomed warmly in Europe, where a vigorous strain of Obamamania has taken hold. Exhibit A: this ad for a 100-page special ...

This week's New Yorker cover shows Barack Obama dressed as a Muslim, Michelle outfitted as a Black Panther/terrorist, a flag burning in the fireplace, and Osama bin Laden in a gilt frame on the wall. It is, of course satire. Or it's supposed to be. It seems to be confusing ...

Despite reports that the Bush administration is expanding covert operations in Iran to "destabilize the country's religious leadership," despite the recent (photoshopped) Iranian missile tests, and despite Israel's vigorous aerial exercises over the eastern Med last month -- despite that, people in the Middle East are asking for peace.
