Why so ssssssssserious?
Posters showing President Obama as the Joker from "The Dark Knight" have been popping up around Los Angeles.
Under the jarring image is a one-word caption: "socialism."
To date, no one has taken credit (blame?) for the guerrilla artwork, which is admittedly provocative and effective, at least in terms of attracting media interest.
Of course, anyone who understands the definition of socialism can't possibly believe Obama is a socialist. (Just a few ways in which Obama's policies differ from a socialist agenda: socialism would mean no health insurance companies; decriminalization of drugs and prostitution; immediate withdrawal of all troops on foreign soil; a certain cap on all salaries in any situation and public funding for the media. I don't see the White House calling for such measures, do you?)
As for the comparison to the Joker: socialist? I don't think so. Wasn't he more of an anarchist, or maybe a nihilist?I am sick and tired of people calling Obama a socialist. As I said to a girl a few months back:
Don't talk about things of which you have no knowledge of!
Thank You Sun Times!
