OK...and? If there is any reason why Obama has not granted permission to release the "real" birth certificate it's that the Birthers and their Republican enablers tar conservatives as lunatics more interested in conspiracy theories than fighting for real ideas.

...And blah, blah, blah. The birthers and the truthers are both idiots...denying overhwhelming evidence against their supposed theories. Some people believe that the president isn't a natural-born United States citizen. Fine. But when credible and overwhelming evidence that proves otherwise is presented, these fools ought to have stood down. Instead, they continue...and for no discernable reason. Maybe Republicans and conservatives ought to spend a little less time defending these morons, and a little more time winning back the favor of the majority of American citizens with a solid and credible vision for the country. Of course, they're not going to do that...it's much easier to spin nutty conspiracy theories.

But the Bush-Joker did make sense, from a detractor's perspective! Bush's detractors did see the former president as an agent of chaos and anarchy. Obama's detractors, on the other hand, see the president as controlling, as desiring of a lock-step social order... which is the opposite of Heath Ledger's interpretation of the character. So, with the Obama-Joker, the image (anarachy and chaos) conflicts with the message (socialism, a type of ordered, social structure) and, overall, clashes with many conservatives' perception of Obama (controlling).
