Overnight, french documentary-filmmaker-turned-street-artist Mr. Brainwash, or MBW, took his wall and redid it for inauguration day. On the side it states:

Rosa Parks sat,
so Martin Luther King Jr. could walk.
Martin Luther King Jr. walked,
so that Barack Obama could run.
Barack Obama ran,
so we could fly.

Last month, the wall had an Einstein mural and before that it showed Star Trek, Madonna/Britney Spears, Marion Cotillard and the Mona Lisa doing some mooning.

Special thanks to unurth - street art for pointing this out!

Its a simple yet eloquent sentiment.

He hasn't done ANYTHING YET!!! sheesh! Hope alone is not gonna save the US!

Here I am, naively thinking I am merely commenting about the mural and its message. I completely overlooked how I could politicize the matter.

I am glad someone's got my back, otherwise who knows what might happen.

Since the door is open...here is my favorite fact about Obama: not a single terrorist attack against the U.S. or U.S. interests has occurred during his presidency, so he has kept the country safe.

Prove me wrong. ROFL

Give it a REST! Must people p*ss on everything? Great mural, great thought - hope is not a bad thing.

I hope this satys up by the way

Those lines have been spoken or written a multitude now. I wonder where MBW or Jay-Z got them from???
