'Joker Obama' Poster Hits Los Angeles, Goes Viral

I don't know who's responsible for this, but it is brilliant.

I've checked several web sites today, and no one seems to know anything about the origins of the "artwork," although several writers are clearly in the Obamaphile camp, as they lament that such a thing could happen.

Lament? Not here.

This is still America where we can mock our elected leaders mercilessly if they give us reason to do so.

In fact, when our elected representatives in Congress fail to heed our voices and foist unconstitutional programs upon us in massive spending bills that they don't even bother to read, because friends of the president have put these things together, and the president himself acts as cheerleader for this reckless abandonment of common sense, then it is high time that voices are raised.

Even weird voices. Sometimes weird gets more attention than reasoned. Here at Oklahomily we try to use the reasoned approach, and are often disappointed at how few people notice.

The reason the poster is appropriate is because the joke is on the American people. President Obama has been very clear in most of his statements about what he was planning to do to this country. Transformation is one word that he used frequently.

And transformation is what we are seeing. America is being transformed from what is left of a constitutional Republic to a socialist "democracy" in which public passions are inflamed to justify new encroachments upon the powers reserved to the states, or to the people.

The Left spent much of the last eight years vilifying George W. Bush and supporting Hollywood movies that treated him as an idiot, an international criminal, a stooge of special interests; there were films that indulged themselves in assassination fiction. This was considered fair game under the First Amendment.

And it was, I suppose.

This poster is mild by comparison. But watch for the voices of repression on the Left to be raised. If they are, I hope there are 100 million of these posters plastered across America by the end of next week.
