Obama as Joker: Selective Outrage From 'LA Weekly'

The LA Weekly “…only thing missing is the noose.”:

Only thing really missing is intellectual consistency.

You may find it interesting that the same celebrated artist responsible for the iconic Obama “Hope” poster also drew this cover depicting President Bush as a blood-thirsty vampire.
