The Obama Car (as created by Florida artist)

That would be Jennifer Stone-Anderson, a 51-year-old artist who is out of work and had two months on her hands to paint an elaborate mural on her 2004 Saturn Ion touting the candidacy of Barack Obama.
The south St. Petersburg resident showed off her rolling campaign ad in our parking lot today, pointing out the giant globe that’s really a lit-fuse bomb; Arlington National Cemetery (”where our soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan are buried”); a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness; and the admonition to recycle (curbside or otherwise) in St. Pete but not to “recycle Bush-McCain.”
Stone-Anderson said she painted the white Ion with acrylics she had leftover at home, on and off, weather permitting, for two months.
Oh, she gets some dirty looks driving it around town. One woman recently told her the “art was ugly.” Stone-Anderson said that made her lose her temper. Others compliment the artwork. Still others slip notes under her windshield wipers, enough for her to put small notes under them directing McCain supporters to use the right wiper and Obama supporters to use the left.
She hopes to get some work soon so she can hold onto the car; she said she took a loan against a 1977 life insurance policy to make her latest (and possibly last) car payment. SEE THE PICS BELOW…

So she still owes money on this car? What happens — God forbid — if she can’t make the payments and they come to repossess it? Will they even take it?

Very nice job! I do not agree with the choice for the candidate!
But very cool the windshield wipers. Way to funny

If the payments cant be made yes we will take the car regardless of its status

That is one bad job of painting.
It’s disjointed and crude with no
continuity and her hand shook just a bit too much.

It’s obvious she is about a half
bubble off plumb. She could have
took the money she spent on paint
and made her payment. If she was
really set on spending money, she
might should have concidered a
nose job first. Then do something
about that RED STRAW on her head.

Wow! The cost of the bad tattoo would cover a payment or 2 and that tattoo is very bad…it’s not right…the lines aren’t even.

Wow, four months of planning and two months of painting! I’m not surprised she can’t find a job, where would she find the time? It’s no wonder why he got elected with wingbats like this running around. Who gets a crappy obama tattoo? That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen!!! What will she do when she finds out Obama is a socialist lying scumbag? Oh, that’s right that’s probably what she wants! I hope she gets sued for defacing Chrysler’s property, as their the ones who financed her!
