Are there Obama Joker Posters in the Chicago area?
One blogger claims it actually originated in Chicago: Mystery Obama/Joker Poster Appears in L.A.

The original Joker/Obama image (see below) was apparently created by Firas Khateeb, a student living in Chicago. However, whoever adapted it as a poster and added the legend, “socialism,” is still a mystery.

— Jonathan Jerald, Editor Bedlam Magazine

Jerald provides a link to Khateeb’s flickr.com (flickr.com/photos/khateeb88), but there’s no evidence of the Obama-Joker photoshop mash. Not anymore anyway.
