You've seen his famous poster, but he just isn't feeling so inspired these days:

"Fairey, who at 40 is no kid himself, said it's easy to see why young voters are down on Obama and the Democrats. He lamented that health care reform was watered down, Tea Party activists have been emboldened, and his man has fallen short on bold campaign promises like closing Guantanamo Bay. 'There's a lot of stuff completely out of Obama's control or any of the Democrats' control,' Fairey allowed. 'But I think there's something a little deeper in terms of the optimism of the younger voter that's happening. They wanted somebody who was going to fight against the status quo, and I don't think that Obama has done that.'"
