A mysterious poster featuring President Barack Obama portrayed as Heath Ledger's famous Joker are surfacing in L.A. The word "socialism" appears beneath him.
The Obama Joker poster is beginning to appear on off-ramps and underpasses in the Hollywood area. Who made and distributed copies of the poster is unknown.
Whoever is responsible for this viral marketing, is clearly a coordinated endeavor of some kind by a person or persons angry with the U.S. Commander-in-Chief.
The typical charge of socialism is made at the bottom of the likeness of Obama as the Joker from The Dark Knight, though no specific arguments are offered.
Maybe these pissed-off voters are not fans of universal health care?
While some find this to be harmless, even a clever play in the "Hope" poster circulating widely during his bid for the White House, others are a bit critical of Barack Obama being likened to a sadistic terrorist (albeit a fictional one).
What do you think of the Obama joker poster?

Sooooo Cheri.. you have four fathers? explains a lot of your spelling I guess..
I live in holland, Europe.. everyone here is very very free.. even to some degrees to do things I think should be prohibited. like drugs and abortion.. but we're all insured for our medical treatments no matter how rich or poor we are..
What is freedom.. did you ever think of that?

The scary thing about people like Cheri is that they purposefully neglect to remember the Big Brother-esque activities perpetrated by the previous administration. It was under the Bush administration that the tapping of telephone lines was permitted. It was under the Bush administration that the Patriot Act was passed, which allows the government at their own whim to invade your privacy in so many aspects under the auspices of protecting freedom, granting generals the right to shoot down commercial airlines, etc..
All these things are conveniently forgotten but then Obama is pushing Big Brother. Does anyone stop to think for a second that the police, fire, public education, armed forces, etc... are all socialized programs?
Nobody seems to complain about these services, but throw health in there and we're all in fear of us becoming socialized? Come on.
The sad thing is, the only reason why folks like Cheri and her ilk push these agendas is because the return of government to the fascist state it was under Bush would benefit them in some way or the other. They don't preach these agendas for the "good" of America. Unrestricted big business has proven that it will lead to economic chaos more than 2 times over. Why test it again?
And all these extreme situations that they push are just to reign in those folks who are stupid enough to follow these proselytizers. But, since everyone is doing pretty bad these days and actually NEED stuff like nationalized health care, they don't have too many folks in the audience when looking out from the pulpit.
But, let the good times roll again and the same fools who will benefit from Obama's efforts will be throwing stones at the throne once again.
Now, don't get me wrong, everyone has their own right to choose who they want to follow, but be sure that you check their background first to be sure they're not just a figurehead for some corporate backers pushing their agendas.
Most of these guys remind me of the scenes in Reno 911 where these two guys come in to hold these infosessions with the force and they're pitching these REALLY absurd insurance policies, vacation plans, etc.., but, they always have a compadre disguised as a cop agreeing with everything they say and egging the rest of the cops on.

And the ironic thing is that the poster was originally created by a 20 year old liberal who felt that Obama was not keeping his promises.
