SHOOT: I find this very worrying, and Obama certainly isn't to blame - if anyone is it is his predecessor. But I can't help feeling that a revolution is a perfectly natural response for the middle class when the government and corporations swindle citizens/taxpayers money to get themselves off the hook financially. Banks get bailed out but what about ordinary people?
A new poster depicting President Obama as a version of Heath Ledger's Joker character in The Dark Knight has appeared in Los Angeles, according to rightwing sources. Blog posters to such online sites as American Thinker and Tammy Bruce are predictably in the throes of political orgasm.
The poster, which bears a very superficial resemblance to Shepard Fairey's famous Obama Hope illustration, has been pasted on freeway supports and other public surfaces. It has a bit of everything to appeal to the drunk tank of California conservatism: Obama is in white face, his mouth (like Ledger's Joker's) has been grotesquely slit wide open and the word "Socialism" appears below his face. The only thing missing is a noose.
