Obama Endorsement Lights Up Williamsburg

Photo by Jen Carlson.

The apartment building at 330 Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg has changed their light sign from "Save Domino" to read "Vote Obama." The brainchild behind the latest message is most likely the building owner again, but we're guessing it didn't take much convincing to get the tenants to reconfigure the LED rope lights.

I partly agree with goldemi. I understand being annoyed by places, websites, news programs, whatever, that are dominated by one party or the other.

There is no dialogue, since everyone has the same viewpoint, aligned in their adoration for their candidate and blind hatred for the other. Sheep all around. Nothing is more boring than being in a room full of clones, I don't care if they're red or blue.

Still, the intent of the sign is only to support a candidate, and no doubt the person who did this legitimately passionate about supporting Obama. The sign isn't about being edgy or different, it's about supporting your candidate and encouraging others to do the same.

Certainly, putting a "Vote Obama" sign up in New York is pretty safe and predictable. If it said "Vote McCain," now that would be interesting.

I hope they put 'Save Domino' back up, it may have not worked (much like 'Vote Obama' won't) but it is a staple and has meaning unlike most glowing signs.
