Jennifer Stone-Anderson says her 2004 Saturn Ion became a work of art this fall when she covered it with elaborate paintings supporting Barack Obama.
But Chrysler, which financed her car purchase, maintains that it's just a car. And that Stone-Anderson has been missing payments. And that her work of "art" is about to be repossessed.
Stone-Anderson's unemployment was the root of the art, but her lack of work may also bring the loss of it. In May, she gained free time when she was laid off from Rainbow Art and Design in Tampa, Fla., so she started painting her car with leftover acrylics.
Since the layoff, she has been working as a freelance artist, but hasn't been able to find enough work to keep all the bills paid.
Stone-Anderson missed her car payments in December, January and February and has started receiving calls from Chrysler. She has ignored them.
She said that Chrysler has the paperwork to repossess the car, and it's really just a matter of the company finding it at this point. The car is hard to miss, but Stone-Anderson said she's not worried about the company taking it.
"Barack says he's an eternal optimist," she said. "We're like minds."
It took Stone-Anderson four months of planning and two months of painting to transform the car from humdrum white to a vibrant montage of political art. The car's vignettes call for change in areas such as recycling, alternative energy, breast cancer awareness and health care. In July, she even wrangled the novelty license plate "44 PREZ."
Everywhere she takes the car, Stone-Anderson uses it to jump-start conversation. "This car is a magnet," she said.
The reaction to the car hasn't been all good. Some people have screamed obscenities at her.
What does she think President Obama himself would have to say about her art?
"He'd say, 'I'm too busy. Let me solve the world's problems,'" she said.
Her biggest dream for the car right now is just to get it sold so she can appease Chrysler and get a new car.

The woman is clueless, and Obama is a third term of the Bush administration, on steroids. I guess the hippy flake thinks that she'll be able to get a new car, when she's defaulted on this loan? Sorry, but this woman is an idiot, who has been sniffing fumes for far too long.
Jimmy Carters Ghost in the White House.
She probably thinks Obama will rescue her car for her. Yes we can!!!!!
Obama car
I think the statement that she ignored the calls/notices about missed payments pretty much says it all - ignore your responsibilities/problems because someone else (other taxpayers through the government) will solve them. This attitude alone is killing the US.
painted car repoed
Painting a car that still belongs to the Chrysler Auto finance company is not good it lowers the price that COULD have been gotten when Chrysler trys to re sell the car after Repo.
This lady will owe the difference in what the car was worth blue book and what it's worth now as repainted and used in what would be called fair condition.
The lady's credit too will take a hit and is considered bad/ruined for at least seven years after repo.
Long after Barack is gone this lady will be paying for her support for Barack and his policies.
Much like long after Barack is gone American's will be paying for it also.
Stupid is as stupid does and this lady was quite stupid and apparently a fool also.
The comment by Maureen says
The comment by Maureen says a lot, if it doesn't say it all. Personal responsibility and the erosion of it in western society is taking down many individuals. As with honesty, it is one of the basic virtues necessary for a just and prosperous society. Here is the entitlement attitude doing its damage on this person, and the government will rush to her defense as though she is a victim.
"Here is the entitlement
"Here is the entitlement attitude doing its damage on this person, and the government will rush to her defense as though she is a victim."
Only because she's a moonbat lefty Obama worshiper. Had it been a Jefferson/Reagan tribute mobile she painted, she would be in jail right now for not making her car payments...
Delusional
"He'd say, 'I'm too busy. Let me solve the world's problems,'" she said.
Solve the world's problems? Excuse me, but shouldn't he be focusing on the United State's problems? I think this woman has lost her marbles.
Stupid artist
The minute I saw that she was an "artist," I stopped expecting rational behavior from her. Most "artists" are just narcissistic, self-indulgent whiners who want a handout for stuff no one will buy. And that's why most "artists" are liberals.

Painted with praise for Obama,the car must be very pop.Any one young enough will do it like that.

Cyclic unemployment conducts
Cyclic unemployment conducts to decrease in well-being of individuals because of falling of their incomes. However the society as a whole sustains the big losses, than its separate individuals.
Obama
I think Obama should make a health care reform.
