Obama Joker Poster Surfaces, Sparks Debate

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).

Barack Obama Shirtless: Hottest President-Elect Ever!

The New York Post has declared Barack Obama "Fit For Office." Looking at the photo of Obama on the cover yesterday, it's pretty hard to argue that fact! Yowza!

This is not the first picture of Barack Obama shirtless to make the rounds, of course. We've paired yesterday's Post cover with this classic picture from 2007 ...

You may question his ability to fix the current economic crisis or lead the U.S. Armed Forces, but one key issue everybody in America can agree on is this: You'd rather see these photos than any of John McCain shirtless, right? We thought so.
