Will you hang a framed photo of President Obama in your home?

[greblc]

Years ago it was the thing to do. Think about how many JFK photos and misc. items have made their way to Antique stores?

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. No, for the same reason I would not hang a photo of ANY OTHER

political leader

[JuniperLea]

2. Yes!

I have my Granny's photo of JFK... they will hang side by side!

[Sydnie]

11. I have the one that hung in my house when I was a kid too so

I will probably do the same as you. Side by Side.

[JuniperLea]

19. I hope we start a trend!

Side by side. Yep. In an honored spot... where all my friends and neighbors can see exactly how I feel:)

[wryter2000]

3. Yes!

A while back, the party sent me a picture of him and Biden. I'm going to frame it and put it on the wall.

4. my mother had jfk in the house - she really liked him a lot n/t

[etherealtruth]

5. No

Its just not something I do

[riley3]

6. I'm thinking about it. Grew up with a picture of JFK. My brother used to think

his eyes followed him. lol The picture used to come in the newspaper in full color.

7. My family growing up had pictures of FDR and JFK in our house.

It has never occurred to me to hang up a picture of a politician though.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. Absolutely not. Creepy.

[Solly Mack]

9. Framed photos of Obama will be all over my community in a few months

in stores, in offices, in schools....

[Winterblues]

10. History is important IMO but a picture of a politician??

I doubt it..

[ColbertWatcher]

12. There were stories that people still had pictures of FDR in their homes into the 1970s. n/t

[gollygee]

13. We did - into the 80s even

and my grandma did as well.

[ColbertWatcher]

15. Well there ya go! n/t

[kestrel91316]

It's not something I have even done, but for Obama I might make an exception.

[Donnachaidh]

14. Nope

I've never hung president's pictures in my home. And my parents and grandparents didn't do it, either.

[crikkett]

16. Honestly? no. Well, wait.

I have a book called "Dreams of Bill" in my library
and I have a poster (actually a protest sign on a pole) of W captioned "Freedumb" in the coat closet
and I downloaded a copy of Obama's logo today (to stare at) to my desktop,
So who knows.

[madokie]

17. I hadn't thought of that and now that I have you bet I am

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. I don't idolize anyone except my kids and cats.

[gblady]

22. don't think having a picture....

necessarily means idolizing....

I have photos of Gandhi, MLK, Einstein, Rosa Parks, Dalai Lama
folks I admire and draw inspiration from in a special place in my home...
Barack will be added soon.

[Fuzz]

20. Nope

[glaeken777]

21. maybe

RIght now one wall is covered with photos of JFK and RFK.

[DoctorMyEyes]

23. Framed Poster!

Yes, I will! I grew up with a picture of JFK on the wall, next to a picture of a waving American flag. It wasn't weird, or freeperish, or nationalist. It said something about who my family was and what their values were, I think. You're damn right I want my grandchildren to remember that grandma had a pic of Obama on the wall.

[plaintiff]

24. Nope. He will be my employee like every other elected politician.

...

[whatdoyouthink]

25. No

I don't even have a pic of myself...just don't like faces of people hanging on the Walls/etc

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. My parents have JFK and Clinton framed photos in their home.

I bet they add an Obama photo. They love him.

[pitohui]

27. i know people who will and good for them

i am of a background that you don't put up anything on the walls except pics of nature and non-representational art -- even photos of FAMILY are put in photo albums and not on walls

hence always a bit uncomfortable w. what i call ancestor worshop, be it an altar of a zillion family photos, be it fdr, jfk, mlk photos...it just isn't me...on the other hand, i think it's pretty cool that we can even debate about something like this

short answer -- my house is not the post office, i don't hang president's photos there, but if you wish to do so...go for it

[Naturyl]

28. No, not while he is in office.

This is America, not North Korea.

When he leaves office I might consider it as a memento.
