Maybe I'm just not a student of Soviet propaganda.

I would probably venture a guess that many people haven't a clue about the style influence of the Obama poster. We have people who haven't a clue about Huckabee's bible references, why would they know about art? Still, the poster is straight out of the school of political propaganda art, espec. Soviet. It's not really a load of baggage, it's just a fact.
