I know some of you will be getting all indignant, but I think it's just as funny as 7point34's splendid McCainoshop (okay, maybe funnier, but still...): http://www.qbn.com/topics/563288…
Poking fun at politicians is a grand American tradition, made even better with digital editing software.

It's misguided. For satire to work there has to be a grain of truth in the pitiless laughter but in this case there is none. Nothing imperial about being elected to the office of president. The iconography is confused and cheesy which weakens this to the point of stupidity.

I don't know... I think the satire here is focused on grandiosity, of which, there is certainly a grain or two in Senator Obama's campaign. Everyone's got their own opinion, of course. I think both images are really funny.
- well he ain't running for dog catcher and there is a certain amount of spectacle involved but I think painting him as elitecapsize
- is far fetched and dishonest. Its a swift boating smear: untrue but satisfying anger that cannot be released otherwise. Kerry earned his medals and Obama faced obstacles most don't or won't.capsize
- earned his medals and Obama faced many obstacles many don't or won't face.capsize
- I think he's led a privileged life and does indeed have delusions of grandiosity. It's cool if we disagree, though!dog_opus
