Vertigo's show, The Cowboy Is on the Left, transfers street art to the gallery

Behold, the emotional spectrum of President Barack Obama

The right wing likes to portray President Barack Obama as either one of two things: the good-times party animal you can spot in a Tag Team video, or the stereotypical Angry Black Man.
