What’s the origin of that poster? (not just it’s hosting site)

Seems his ad art is increasingly propagandistic. There’s a nuance about the sources that I can’t quite put my finger on...

I don't know if it is originally from this site, but it is featured prominently on the Obama the Messiah site: http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com

Tongue-in-cheek query?

Peggy Shapiro over at the American Thinker nails it: "I knew that I had seen this before, and then it came to me that this image appropriates the graphic style of totalitarian Soviet propaganda. It recalls the ideal[i]zed portraits and personality cult of the 'Beloved Leader' such as Stalin and Lenin..."

Either way, here's the URL:

The graphics alone should scare the ratbleep out of anyone who remembers the bad old days.
