Barack Obama, laughingstock

Thomas Lifson

It is starting. Open mockery of Barack Obama, as disillusionment sets in with the man, his policies, and the phony image of a race-healing, brilliant, scholarly, middle-of-the-roader.

Via Tammy Bruce, Atlas Shrugged and Newsbusters (three terrific conservative sites) and Bedlam Magazine (an arts site) comes news of a poster spreading across Los Angeles, depicting Obama as a Heath Ledger Joker, and carrying the caption "Socialist."

There will more of this. Count on it. Obama's cool image is so 2008. It's a long way down from lowering the oceans to laughingstock.
