So some joker has been putting up handbills around Los Angeles that portray President Obama as a famous insane movie villain. The posters have worked some left-wing newspaper you’ve never heard of into a real lather. The word “noose” was flung around and the general tenor of the short article seems to be just a teensy bit of surprise that someone would dare to alter a President’s face to make a political point.
I don’t get the not-so-subtle racist accusation and, since the writer didn’t really expound on it, I suppose we’re operating under that basic left wing ipse dixit. If a leftist says something’s racist, then it’s racist because only they are allowed to throw people into that bucket because they’re down with the struggle or some feldercarb like that.
The poster itself is witty but doesn’t quite hit the mark. Sure, President Obama has been governing as if he feels a lot more comfortable with a socialist economy than the one we actually have, but I don’t get where that puts him in the neighborhood of The Joker. Stalingrad, perhaps, but not The Joker.
Allah asks, “If people are hot for posters, why not just photoshop that “HOPE” image to make it say “BROKE”?” Hmm…now there’s an idea.
Will this do?
We could toss this one in as a bonus.

Jimmie,
Yesterday I added a picture to my Facebook page that was funny.
It showed a man looking at the Joker pic and saying, “Hmmm…I always pictured him as more of a Two-Face.”
It’s worth a look, but then, you’d have to have a Facebook account…
You Facebookers never give up.
Funny….very, very funny.
My Space has blocked the Obama-Joker as “Offensive”. Go figure.
How would I know, right?
I spotted Obama Riddler Posters with the word REFORM? around Miami. I looked it up on Google and found it on Digg. I think Im doing this right, here is a try at making a link.
