Obama 'Joker' Poster Causing a Stir in L.A.

LOS ANGELES -- A poster showing President Barack Obama as Heath Ledger's "Joker" character from "The Dark Knight" is creating a stir on the streets of Los Angeles where the image began appearing over the weekend.

The Obama-Joker poster shows President Obama with white face paint, dark eye shadow and smudged red lipstick and also has the word "socialism" printed in bold, dark letters under the image of his face.


It's unclear who created the image and who is posting it across the city. No one has taken credit so far.

Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.

Hutchinson is challenging the group or individual that put up the poster to have the courage and decency to publicly identify themselves.

"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."

"We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama."

The poster has also gone viral online, crashing the website that first posted images of it and rising to the top of Google's "Today's Hot Trends" list.

Stick a sock in it Hutch, he's a public figure and if he can't stand the heat, get out of public life!

Ironic that no one cared when Bush was spoofed, eh?

Well, I have to agree Obama is not a Socialist. He is a Communist. Under socialism the state does redistribute wealth and stick its nose into all sorts of Private sector operations, but socialism does not require state ownership of what we would call private industry. Under communism, all of the above apply, except the government also owns the factors of production. Look aat the government's position in General Motors, Chrysler, the financial industry, and now Obama wants to do the same with insurance and health care. Sounds like a communist takeover of the factors of production to me.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! They are mean.

maybe this person needs a phone call to ask him what he thought of the bush spoof as him as a chimp. im sure he would say, "well that was okay"

"political spoofery"? What is that? Hahahahaha. I saw the poster and its hilarious.

From the link:

Does it really matter, what does matter is that it is the truth. Just like the time of day Obuma was born..irrelevant!

Wait until you see what is coming next.
