Hope
For some of the American population Obama represents hope. Specially to the minority population and immigrants. Obama represents a symbol of freedom and equality for all. The fact that he is the first African American president, there is no doubt there is hope in America. According to this image, the American dream is possible. To others, this image is a joke an insulting to them. The reality that they are living and experiencing is completely different and they have lost hope.
Despair
Many immigrants come to America to fulfill their American Dream. However once they are in America their dream is crushed and they are desperate to stay alive and survive. At the Home Depot it is common to see many immigrants lining up o tackle down a potential job for the day. This image shows the despair to fulfill the American dream. For some immigrants their American Dream has started. This is how they survive, fill up their bellies and send money back to their country to support their families.
