Title: Obama Joker Poster Popping Up In Los Angeles
Post by: Bodybuilding Related on August 03, 2009, 09:43:27 AM: Several posters of President Barack Obama as Joker, Heath Ledger-style, with the caption “Socialism” have been showing up in Los Angeles and most recently in Atlanta. No one knows who is responsible for this mysterious “political statement”.

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.

Last one looks like a photoshop.

I don't see what's funny about the posters, but then again, I didn't see the movie and don't get the reference.

If they simply said, "Obama is a clown", I'd get that. And I'd agree.

Socialism is the gateway drug to communism.

Big difference, but a small step.
