Obama Joker Poster
Posted throughout Los Angeles today are mysterious posters featuring President Barack Obama portrayed as Heath Ledger's "Joker" character from the Dark Knight.
The caption "socialist" appears beneath the poster.
Who made the poster (or who is distributing them) is not yet known.
As expected, many are outraged and offended by the poster.
As the day progresses, the poster is beginning to appear on off-ramps and underpasses in the Hollywood area.
Although reports at this time are unconfirmed, it is being reported that the release of the Obama Joker posters may be a coordinated endeavor across the US today by groups or organizations angry with the President, presumably, over issues relating to the proposed universal health care.
While the source of anger is obvious, the confusion lies in who is responsible for the posters. According to an article this morning by Associated Content: "As if it isn't enough to equate President Obama to a sadistic, murdering terrorist, a more typical charge of socialism is made in the bottom of the Obama Joker poster. Nothing more specific is spelled out, and no one as of yet has figured out where these posters come from, or who made them."

Why so socialist?
The Truth hurts sometimes
What exactly are people confused about?
Even more, where do people get off being angry, after the Bush with Hitler mustache posters, W: The Warlord stickers stuck to trees, stop signs, and every inch of public space for the past eight years?
Grow up, crybababies.
Where do I get a gross of them? Luv it!!
AWWW. Are somebodys feewings getting hurt?
What???? Is no one allowed to speak out. No one on the left when they criticized Bush (and he deserved plenty)seemed to mind. Beware when people are denied their right to speak. They'll get to you next.
"Confused?" How are people confused?
"Hundreds of people staggering around in a state of confusion after seeing Obama / Joker poster!"
"Socialist" image says socialism.
But ouch, this is wicked commentary.
The posters should say: Communist & Fascist
I think a more appropriate caption would be "Why so capitalist?"
How dare anyone insult our beloved leader.
Where can I get a bumper sticker?
what the hell is confusing about this? if people are "confused" as to why these posters are being made, then they are obviously not following any sort of news at all, and presumably still actually LIKE that socialist pig. and are also retarded, literally. i am so happy about this poster, i can't really explain it. let's share this with everyone! i just want to make a million bajillion copies and give them to everyone in the world! i want to make a paper-mache house out of them and force that loser to live in it! hurray!
he should have blown up some buildings before he tried to pass his landmark legislation.. Bush was able to show how it can really loosen up the whiners...Yee haw lets go to war and go broke... No no no don't you even dare try n give me no services in return for my taxes.. I wish I could get refugee status as a result of the tyrannical level of ignorance in this country
I love this! I'm sick and tired of the self-righteous limousine liberals driving around in their Prius's sporting a "hope" sticker. Obama's a fraud and a socialist to boot. Good to see someone calling him out on it.
There are people out there who don't like Obama???
That doesn't make sense.
How CONFUUUSING!!!
My brain is going to explode!!
"dumbass American": You picked an apt name for yourself. If you refuse to read, try varying your habits from an exclusive diet of Jon Stewart and Rosie O'Donnell.
Moron.
Can I get this tshirt? I'd buy it in a heartbeat!!!
In my town I see worse: Escalades and Hummers with H0pe stickers on the back.
These people are absolutely oblivious to EVERYTHING going on around them. Maybe that's about to change?
Confusion? CONFUSION?
Great way to invent a headline and slant the news, Examiner.
DELIGHT would be a MUCH more accurate word.
I'm Two-Face with hair plugs!
I love that it is causing anger and confusion... but rather than take note of American citizens who view him as a socialist, all the media can worry about is "AUGH! Who is this HATEFUL man who MADE this poster?!?!?" If the term "Socialists" bothers the Obama people so much, stop acting like a socialist.
This is well deserved; the Obamunists are using every political tool to scare the country and take over every private business, every sector of the economy, and every citizen; look at the auto companies, the banks, and "health care". If Obama's health care passes, the USA will be a socialist country and our government will be running death camps in the name of health care. Google Betsy McCaughey's interview with Fred Thompson for the facts.

Perfect! The sinister liar that promises anything and threatens others to get their cooperation. No accident so many in the administration didn't file their taxes accurately. The leader casts a shadow and this is accurately portrayed.
The people are speaking out and we're taking our country back. God Bless America!!!
Awesome poster, I love it! They already have the shirts and stickers online - cafepress.com/PalsyClown
If Obama is a socialist, then FDR was a socialist.
Vote to leave the US when it comes up in your state, we need to start over.
Why is Obama's healthcare package freaking everyone out? Some things SHOULD be socialized! How would you like it if your house was burning down and you called 911 and they asked for your insurance card and credit card to take a copay before they would send out the firefighters. They DON'T because the emergency services are SOCIALIST!!! Not true for our medical system. Don't have enough money? Then die!
The picture doesn't need a caption but if one is desired, the bottom of the poster should read Big Brother.
It must have been Chimpy McHaliburton Bushitler who dared insult beloved great leader. Has he stooped so low? OMG!!
Well it IS confusing! I mean, after all, unlike the Joker who is was a "sadistic, murdering terrorist," Obama is only killing civilians with Predator drones on the other side of the world and driving the nation into 3rd World status. I don't see any similarity between the two....
1984
Oh mighty beloved leader Obama, please strike down these infidels! Make the streets flow with the blood those who doubt your supremacy!
Beautiful in its anonymity!
"If Obama is a socialist, then FDR was a socialist." Yes and yes. This is an expansion on the 'work' of FDR. With Cap and Trade, government health care, plus the expansion of government in the guise of a 'stimulus package', and redistribution of wealth...is there anyone on the planet who still believes that he is NOT socialist?
And yet when the Liebral retards called GWB a warmonger and a war criminal, they were all happy and contented.
The posters are badass, I want a huge version of it.
I love the people who are putting these up, it's cool how they remain anonymous.
Devin, this boob's supporters KNOW he's a socialist, which is why they support him.
Great looking!
Love it!!!
Awesome picture, very fitting
Wow, amazing at the ignorance of the posts here agreeing with the 1950's "socialism" label.
We already HAVE health socialism, aka rationing etc.
It's called the American Insurance Industry who routinely RATIONS your health care so that they can make MORE profits.
What is the best health care system going in America today? Amazingly enough...it's MEDICARE. Try taking that one AWAY from Americans and you'll learn real fast how Medicare WORKS for the patient, for the doctor and at lower costs because ah...DUH...it's NOT FOR PROFIT like your insurance is.
If you guys are too uneducated to get that...then I think you can do just what Obama has offered...KEEP your current insurance. Let the rest of us get some real competition in and that's called the Government OPTION where the money is going towards care and not for Insurance Execs bonuses!
Welcome to his nightmare...
FDR WAS a socialist, for the record.
BTW, love the poster! Pretty cool, just like the one with Bush and Hitler--"same s***, different a**hole."
And NOTHING should be socialized. You want something, you buy it yourself, don't expect everyone else to be forced to pay for it!
There are some pretty ignorant comments about socialism by people who know nothing. Before making ignorant and stupid comments do a little study on the subject next time you uneducated reactionary tools.
Love it as well. BethA is the ignorant one. Medicare is the best?? Medicare and social security are going bankrupt. Read the news once in a while. Liberals are the least informed of all. What should be free next? We're already a welfare nation moving rapidly toward socialism and bankruptcy. It's time to stand up to this joker and the hundreds of jokers in congress. Oust the leadership, take back America.
You people sicken me. Do you even know what socialism is? My guess, you don't. Otherwise you would understand that Obama is very very NOT socialist. Oh, and the murdering terrorist bit, no bad about term limit or else it would have been Bush's face. And unlike Obama, Bush is an actual killer.
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION WHICH LEAVES THE RICH DEAD!
Don't have enough money? Then die!

Obimessiah has a cure for death that he is not sharing?
