Mocking Obama

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

It’s been a tough month for President Obama. His beloved healthcare scheme is a slow-motion train wreck and he wasn’t able to trick Republicans into a tax hike as part of budget fights.

So let’s pile on with some humor.

We’ll start with some NSA-related material. We’ve already shared some amusing cartoons, so now it’s time for a photo from Europe.

NSA Germany

I don’t know if this is a real pic, but it’s still funny. Not quite as good as this set of images portraying Obama as a voyeur, but worth a chuckle. And it may be a very positive development if it’s a sign that Europeans are beginning to realize that there’s a downside to Obama’s statism.

Speaking of downsides, let’s turn our attention to Obamacare. We’ve certainly had fun mocking Obamacare in the past, and this picture is a welcome addition to our collection.

Obamacare laugh

Though it’s not actually funny when you think of all the people who are suffering because of – as Mark Steyn explained – the President’s scheme to create more dependency.

Let’s now shift from the specific topics of Obamacare and the NSA to share some humor about the President’s overall ideology.

I’ve previously explained that he’s a run-of-the-mill statist, not a socialist. Though if you want a specific term of opprobrium, then it’s accurate to call him a corporatist.

That being said, I confess that I was amused when this image landed in my inbox.

Obama Lenin

Sort of reminds me of the cartoon at the bottom of this post. But not exactly. I think FDR actually was further to the left than Obama. If you don’t believe me, just listen to Roosevelt in his own words.

Last but not least, it seems the President is going to star in a remake of a Disney classic.

Lyin' King

I guess this make sense. After all, I’ve already suggested that his next career will be in the movies.

If this hasn’t exhausted your interest in Obama mockery, you may enjoy this t-shirt, this Pennsylvania joke, this Reagan-Obama comparison, this Wyoming joke, this Bush-Obama comparison, this video satire, and this bumper sticker.
