Not surprisingly, the Obama Joker Poster reported by NewsBusters Saturday is already drawing some outrage.
According to a television station where the posters have been spotted, "Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous."

Oh, poor Obama! He’s treated so badly! It’s all racist, doncha know!!!!

Exactly. I want to be the first to say that the obvious resemblance of Michelle 0bama to various great apes should be completely off limits!

It's just impossible for me to imagine BHO as a "Commander" and the nation's chief law enforcement officer.
He has none of the qualities necessar to be either.
