Who knows who the Joker is that created this image? No one seems to know but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared in the U.S. media. The poster is an indication that the level of dissatisfaction with Obama is heightening.
Posters of the swine flu are emerging in airports and as Obama is losing hold on the populace, support for his health rationing, and failed programs, more serious moves may be in the offing.
Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.
"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."
A similar image,
of Bush, long ago appeared in the mainstream media, Vanity Fair, on 29 July 2008.
