(http://newsbusters.org/static/2009/08/Obama%20Joker%20Poster%20Artist%20Exposed%20As%20Liberal-Leaning%20Palestinian.jpg)
Since NewsBusters and the Drudge Report first introduced America to the Obama Joker poster -- with help from talk radio host Tammy Bruce, of course -- most media outlets have speculated the artist was likely white, conservative, and racist.
WRONG!
As reported by the Los Angeles Times moments ago, the up-until-now anonymous creator of the poster sweeping the nation is a 20-year-old college student of Palestinian descent with largely liberal political leanings.
Honestly, you can't make this stuff up:
Bored during his winter school break, Firas Alkhateeb, a senior history major at the University of Illinois, crafted the picture of Obama with the recognizable clown makeup using Adobe's Photoshop software.
Alkhateeb had been tinkering with the program to improve the looks of photos he had taken on his clunky Kodak camera. The Joker project was his grandest undertaking yet. Using a tutorial he'd found online about how to "Jokerize" portraits, he downloaded the October 23 Time Magazine cover of Obama and began digitally painting over it.
Four or five hours later, he happily had his product. [...]
"After Obama was elected, you had all of these people who basically saw him as the second coming of Christ," Alkhateeb said. "From my perspective, there wasn't much substance to him."
"I abstained from voting in November," he wrote in an e-mail. "Living in Illinois, my vote means close to nothing as there was no chance Obama would not win the state." If he had to choose a politician to support, Alkhateeb said, it would be Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

I wonder how the Rats heads would explode if they saw more of the Zero and his trusted cabnit with the same "makeup" on. Might even make a few of them look good.

But on some of the women he is surrounding himself with it might be a improvement. Two names come to mind Stretch and Her Royal Thighness

31. the OP is misleading and is showing his political bias
They all hate Dennis, yet Dennis was right about Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Single Payer, and Wall Street bailouts. They hate Dennis because Dennis is right.
Been a spell since I have seen an IndianGreen post, use to be most supportive of one of my favorite moles :-)
Yes Indy, everyone hates him because he is so pretty. ( Ok, actually I am secretly envious of his current wife but then ....) :bow:
