I'm not sure if I enjoy this more if it's real or if it's photoshopped.

Update: Which it is (photoshopped). HT: @petitedov

  Yeah, I saw the creepy Obama flag on the news this morning. Apparently some democrats thought it was actually a good idea.
  1. Suki 14 years ago
    
    Yea, like Florida Democrat HQ.
  2. Scruffy Nerfherder 14 years ago
    
    I would assume that the White House political advisor is calling Florida Democrats saying, "What the fuckity fuck? Are you fucking morons?"
    
    Of course, I could be wrong.
    1. WTF 14 years ago
      
      The Whitehouse might have told them they should have waited until after the election to roll out the "Dear Leader" paraphernalia.
    2. Suki 14 years ago
      
      They really should be more like the others and replace it with a Che picture in the lobby.

Romney going for the hip-hop vote by changing his name to R-Money. Although these days he really should make it just R-$, the kids get confused by real words.

  Why haven't we heard any explanation of the correlation between ear size and intelligence? Objective, fair-minded cheerleaders have been slipping on in their mission to educate foolish libertarians

Money? So Romeny is a fiat representation of the mandated "trust" we have in government and something the government can just make more of when they have the whim to make us all poorer?

Sounds about right.

  I like "Romeny." Sort of reminds everyone where we're headed.

Come on, how convenient is it though that those two boys are almost exactly the same size, while all the others are different? You know the entire thing was planned for photoshopping from the get go.
Joe M 14 years ago

But wait, don't you see? This is his attempt at making a populist outreach, with the message that it's "R Money", not their money. Stick it to the man, Romeny.

I'm no Romney fan, but I think it's clear he'll be the lesser of two evils in November. Is it really of any value to reinforce this inane tu quoque the Left constantly makes against Romney?

I think it's more relevant to investigate the rich special interests supporting each candidate than to attack Romney for having created wealth.

Anyone who didn't think that was photoshopped needs to...I don't know.

  Since that could have been a real picture if two of the kids standing next to each other had swapped places, its an understandable mistake.

What a pity that Reason.com has surrendered its libertarian bona fides and joined the liberals in attacking Mitt Romney for having the audacity to earn money. Guess you guys are just one more arm of the "progressive" conspiracy against capitalism.
