It just doesn’t fit. The Joker is a character bent on creating murderous chaos for whatever experiment comes to mind at the moment. Politicians are the opposite, and the results are sometimes far more deadly.
~ EDITOR REPLIES: Cory, don’t underestimate the influence of the Hegelian-Marxist notion of the DIALECTIC on Obama and other fellow travelers where the churn and trope of chaos stemming from proletarian unrest is the creative fount from which the constant unrest and agitation led by the Party produces historical progress.
Obama’s statism, green agenda, and emphasis on the de-industrialization of America for the sake of the masses is practically Maoist. That said, a more accurate image then would be a mashup of Obama as Mao wagging a little red book in everyone’s face. Work on that and send it in and we’ll publish it.
I recall that there were Bush caricatures as the Joker in some magazine, several years ago. I’m just a tiny bit surprised that anyone dares to criticize Obama.
Reports suggest this parody of a Time Magazine cover is the root of the Obama as Joker pciture from 20 yr old’s Flickr site (4th one down).
