The first known use of Obama's image being "Jokerified" was published on Myspace by a user listed as Ross Brummet in August 2008. The image was of a smiling Barack Obama, his face painted over with Joker-style makeup, and the quote "The U.S. deserves a better class of war criminal, and I'm going to give it to them."

Obama...SOCIALISM

This is the type of shit you’d see posted today ironically, in the same vein as absurdist rage comics, but it’s funny because it was once used a real political commentary against a fucking democrat. Personally I think the full image with the word socialism at the bottom is funnier than just obama-socialism

It was described in 2009 by The Guardian as the "American right's first successful use of street art".

That has to b one of the most unintentionally funny things I have ever read
