Posters of Obama as Joker pop up in LA

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Posters portraying U.S. President Barack Obama as The Joker from the Batman movie "The Dark Knight" have been spotted throughout Los Angeles.

The poster of Obama, wearing The Joker's trademark white face make-up and elongated lips, also carries the word "socialism" above and below his image, FoxNews.com reported Tuesday.

Obama's healthcare policy, which includes a public medical insurance option, has been criticized by opponents as opening the door to a government takeover of the nation's healthcare system.

Fox News Channel said it was unclear who produced the posters.

The Joker's character in "The Dark Knight" was an anarchist, not a socialist.

Heath Ledger, who died Jan. 22, 2008, of an accidental drug overdose, won an Oscar in 2009 for his portrayal as Batman's nemesis.

I thought the Joker robbed banks, not gave them unlimited credit?

Money was not that important to The Joker.

Remember, he burned his half of the money.

How is that even possible? You're a 70 year old 300 pound arthritic former smoker, you should be dying as we speak.

Truly, there is no God.

Although i admire the artwork on the poster the comparison could have been better. The Joker wanted to see the world burn for the sake of...well...seing the world burn.

Obama has a much more sinister plan for the US.

Obama kind of reminds me of Jerry Rubin when it comes to their goals.

Its just so sad when your only source of joy left is you can irritate people trying to debate for as long as you can live. Not quite the revered, wise old sage, stroking his beard as the other board members gather breathlessly at your feet to catch your pearls of wisdom image you thought you'd get Old Lunatic, is it lol...

LOL, do you really, honestly believe that what you people do when you engage me is anything even remotely connected to debate?


That is the funniest thing you ever said. :)

HR - "LOL, do you really, honestly believe that what you people do when I post my usual fake e-mail rumors and general crap and lies is anything even remotely connected to debate?"

Fixed

It is true that the comparison doesn't really work; the joker was an anarchist and Obama is a statist, the joker hated schemers and Obama is a major schemer. I simply think the picture is well done.

"the joker hated schemers"

And yet, he was a master schemer.
