I chose the picture of Obama as the Joker as my image for our first paper. The picture has the subtitle "Socialism" under it. I chose this for a myriad of reasons. One of these being that this picture has sparked a huge controversy amongst Americans in the past few weeks. Another reason being that it is interesting to see what some Americans truly think of Obama. They view him as a guy with not much substance. He preached hope and change vehemently during his campaign, but has yet to put these words into action. The fact people disrespect him as much as George W. Bush was disrespected is an interesting development, in my opinion. Another interesting parallel is that this image was created by a Chicagoan. Chicago is Obama's home city, and he is widely viewed as a savior in this city. The media likes to portray Obama as a "messiah" of sorts. Yet, the voice of American people will still be seen and heard, as evidenced by this image. In this instance, the voice of the American people would like to see Obama deliver upon the promises he made during his ascent to the Presidency of the United States of America.
that's a very provocative picture. It's very odd how someone from Obama's home town actually made that. As far as how obama is doing in presidency, I don't keep up with it politics aren't my thing and I'm too busy now to even worry about the news. I look forward to reading your paper on that image.
