There is a poster of Obama - painted as the joker, with the word socialism beneath the image.
There has been a response:
Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.Hutchinson is challenging the group or individual that put up the poster to have the courage and decency to publicly identify themselves."Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous.""We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama."
Odd, Mr. Hutchinson never spoke out when Bush was depicted as the joker:

There are however many comments posted below the rendering, and I must say, pretty mean spirited.
Unlike the word SOCIALISM under Obama, which is NOT mean spirited, it is, in the opinions of hundreds of millions in the United States and abroad - what he is doing.
