VIDEO: OBAMA JOKER POSTERS AT THE POST OFFICE?

Linked by Drudge, this story carries more than just a touch of irony. A small town in Central Florida (Clermont) had to deal with Obama-as-the-Joker posters affixed to Post Office property, including mailboxes.

I personally have a problem with defacing the property, regardless of what's used to do it. That's over the top in my view and shouldn't be tolerated.

Separate from that, however, the poster resonates with people in an extremely eery way. There are striking similarities between Obama and the Joker in last year's film, "The Dark Knight" just as there are similarities between George W. Bush and Batman in the movie. Couple that with the fact that there is much about Obama's past we know nothing about, which is an allegory for a mask, thus giving the image added relevance.

Obama's gaffe at the town hall yesterday about the Post Office having problems while UPS and FedEx are just fine was not lost on this story. However, these posters showed up at the Clermont Post Office prior to Obama's comments at the Town Hall unless they did it in broad daylight. If correct, it's even more ironic in its foreshadowing of the gaffe.
