My aperçu of this poster is that it's a loser. Obama's New Campaign slogan "Get my Back".

....wonder who will, figuratively of course, stab him in the back before election night?

Barack, my first glance aperçu
I didn't quite know what to do
Articulate, bright
Nice and clean, sounded white
I knew quickly that toute was perdue

Walking down the Avenue
On my way to the Inuit Barbeque
I happened to get an apercu
Of a very unusual caribou.
Though I did not get a bird’s eye view,
I knew what this was leading to
For now the town was in a stew,
Due to the presence of caribou
Now “OFF LIMITS” except for the Chosen Green Few.

karl rove's attempt to diminish the apercu of Obams as the fresh prince of Chi-town, is pretty damn effective IMO.
