Obama, The Joker

I actually think Obama is in the process of becoming a caricature. I do. I think he's becoming a caricature of himself slowly. You know this poster of Obama out there as the Joker? People are all bent out of shape about this. It turns out that Vanity Fair back in 2008 sometime did their own artwork in a cover story of Bush as the Joker, as Heath Ledger Joker and it was praised as a great piece of art. Now, this is a poster, and they're saying this is racist, this is humiliating, you don't talk about the president of the United States. The very people who spent seven years mocking everything about George W. Bush telling us how to assassinate him in books, doing movies about his being assassinated, calling him Hitler are just outraged about this, but there's nothing racist about this Obama poster. In fact, if you've seen The Dark Knight -- have you seen The Dark Knight, Snerdley? All right, you know the character of the Joker in that movie, the Joker in that movie took every opportunity to remake Gotham City, didn't he?

He had a big damn chip on his shoulder about his childhood and about a bunch of other things. His goal was to undermine the whole system. I think whoever did this is pretty brilliant, actually. And to effect the change that the people of Gotham City didn't want, the Joker created chaos upon chaos. The whole city was focused on him and what he was going to do next. He viewed crisis as an opportunity. So the Joker orchestrated crisis after crisis after crisis. And the Joker wore a mask. I mean whoever put this poster together is pretty smart because there are some similarities here to what the Joker did in that movie and what Obama is doing to this country. And, by the way, Obama has admitted to wearing masks. In Dreams from My Father: (paraphrasing) "It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned. People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved, such a pleasant surprise to find a well mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time." This is his tactic for fooling white people. This is the mask.
