A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters.
The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'.
The creator of the image remains unknown, but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared in U.S. media.
The right-wing editor of the American Thinker website, Thomas Lifson, wrote today: 'It is starting.
'Open mockery of of Barack Obama, as disillusionment sets in with the man, his policies, and the phony image of a race-healing, brilliant, scholarly middle-of-the-roader.'
But the President's supporters have condemned the image, calling it 'mean-spirited and dangerous.'
A spokesman from the Los Angeles urban policy unit said that depicting the president as demonic and a socialist 'goes beyond political spoofery.'
The image comes as the President faces criticism over his plans to create a $1trillion healthcare programme.
Republican chairman Michael Steele first used the word 'socialism' in relation to Mr Obama two weeks ago as he slammed the President's attempts to push Congress into passing the healthcare reforms.

Agreed, although not so very veiled.
I think the reaction is a typical reaction from a bully who has been pushed back.
Obama is not a person of substance he is a bully who is the leaders of bullies.
Obama is just the leader of the mob.
Well now the leader of the mob has been retoriclly exposed and hit, so the mob does not know how to act.
This is playground antics on the part of the crybaby obamabots.
Hillary as Poison Ivy (think about it...double entendre); Biden as The Riddler (too obvious); Gibbs as Ventriloquist?
Forgot One.
Mr. Freeze= Emanuel
Forgot One.

"No Apology Needed, President Obama, for Speaking Out on Gates"
Yes, it’s pussy, it’s girly, its hair pulling, but the question is, do we let it work for them? Do we let them shut down thought or do we keep laughing at them as we runt them out of town on a rail?
LOL Where's that picture of the great seal of the Democratic Party?
What a bunch of cry babies.
Frankly I wonder why adults have to behave like children. When liberals demean conservative politicians they don’t like, conservatives rightly object to that. Now that the liberals are in control, conservatives should not support the same kind of behavior they condemned before.
I am ashamed at much of the hysterical idiocy I’m seeing among those I am most like.
Just lie to them. Active ggressive actions put you on the list to get ‘round up.
Sometimes passive aggression is best, until the time to strike is nigh.
If in a blue state, say no one lives there year-around. If in a red state, count your pets. All other question, just fill in nonsense.
Do not ask, plebian. The LA-UPU has that domestic pacification sector covered well.
