And I'm sure the incendiary criticism will keep others from creating similar images. Sticks and stones!

Which leads me to the second case where art enters politics on a mass scale. The power of art, in combination with the suppression of free speech or a free press, has been used as a tool by authoritarian governments to control their citizens. From Hitler, Stalin, and Mao to Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il, art has been used to deify leaders while preserving the position of the ruling class. Most artists would not want to be referred to as tools of the state, but in the case of Obama's administration, that's exactly what they've been so far. Absolutely true. Any examination of German history in the 1920s and '30s will reveal the role of art, music, and drama in the rise of the Nazis. Goebbels and Hitler were former or failed artists themselves, their talents used for political ends.
From Wikipedia:
"Goebbels earned a Ph.D. from Heidelberg University in 1921, writing his doctoral thesis on 18th-century romantic drama...He also wrote novels and plays, but they were refused by publishers.
"Hitler was rejected twice by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (1907–1908), citing "unfitness for painting", and was told his abilities lay instead in the field of architecture."
More reading about the role of the arts as tools for propaganda can be found in Hitler and the Power of Aesthetics by Frederic Spotts.

No cat image, so they are blocking the site you use.

When you think of the online “art” produced during the Bush years, I would say that the Obama Joker is pretty mild in comparison.
Remember the flap over the New Yorkers cover? The Obamaistas were berserk.
