Obama Is Latest Butt Of ‘President Evil’ Joke

@Strangelove: It's not, simply you being overly sensitive.

It's an homage, Army of Darkness is a great image, powerful :D

@Gyaruson:

Actually I voted for him becuase he was the best of the lot, no matter what you believe he's far ahead of McCain, Hillary and the rest of those wannabes

Avinash_Tyagi

@spannu:

Michelle probably has bigger biceps than him, he's bony

Avinash_Tyagi

I'd vote Bruce Campbell for President.

Don't know why the "Army of Darkness" poster is being used for President Evil, but whatever

Michael Robinson

"whiners" is the theme these posts

@wonder6oy: ...crickets? Hmm, that's... kinda odd. :-/

wonder6oy

@I Wear Nice Hats: Obarmy of Darkness wasn't quite as catchy a title.

@Gyaruson: So you're saying he's another kennedy... Only hopefully without Kennedy's starring moment, since I don't want anyone turning this man into a martyr.

I was drawn here by my Bruce Campbell senses.

@Tom Clancy's Samuraidino: Yeah, President of Earth!

nekocomet

@Gyaruson: unfortunately the elections have not been about the actual issues in a very long time.

Dan Birlew is the only true President Evil.

@ShadowOdin is sad he missed Wyatt Cenac's visit to Sweden: a lot!

@Lincolnsbeard33:
yes...not hypothetically, but literally.

Kikouken

@Lincolnsbeard33:
Dude, the media have already turned his Presidency into a trend anyways.

He bought his girls this play set. He listens to this on his iPod. Michelle wore this J. Crew sweater. No one cares about his politics, they just care about the fad. Typical American ignorance. I just wish my fellow citizens would vote for people based what they believed to be true, not because of some popular ad campaign.

@Kikouken: They should have voted for Bob Dole!!!

Bob Dole has wood

@excel_excel: So how many is that you've killed this week?

@Strangelove:

Not by you, mind you, but by the creator.

@chronubis:

I don't want to be the Thought Police here or anything, but I have to wonder if the 'Army of Darkness' is racist.

I see no point in this. Is it supposed to be funny? It's not. Shocking? No. Relevant? I suppose by having B-Rok on there, but not really. So seriously, what's the point?

I know he's got a fanbase like you wouldn't believe (my company prints up an insane amount of Obama t-shirts so I know first hand) but this is just stupid. Stop advertising for these idiots. This has all the imagination of a fart joke.

@wonder6oy: Fly you fool!

Man, Clinton never got this sort of Hero worship in office.

That's an Evil Dead cover though, for Army of Darkness... not a resident evil cover...

@Lincolnsbeard33: I guess you'd have to ask Obama, apparently.

the problem with Obama is that everybody is so happy just because he's there and not because he has what it takes to be a president. We had one situtation very similar here in Mexico like 9 years ago. Former president Fox was supposed to represent a big change for us and he turned out to be a real dumb ass and btw he was really charismathic at the begginig of his six years as president. I don't kown if you see my point

tekoman

@SmilingPolitely: AHAHA oh fucking jesus thats too much man I loled

"Plant one on the Prez, baby!"

arniejolt

@excel_excel: Man, you're killing me!

@che-che: i am just waiting for the Obama Reality T.V. show to start airing.

Lincolnsbeard33

@wonder6oy: shhhh you aren't allowed to say anything bad about him.

Lincolnsbeard33

Lifelong comic fan here. every time I see Obama in one I die a little inside.
Not a place for that.

zombie abraham lincoln is awesome

ithyphallus

Cool, now the makers of the awful President Evil movie can sue them for money.

He'd better watch out for the Van Buren Boys.

Funny I just ordered Evil Dead and preordered the Screwhead Edition of Army of Darkness the other day.

@bobafett356: You know, Galactus promised to devour worlds, but I've yet to see him deliver. It was all just electioneering, as usual.

yep, thats right,. the united states presidency, is now one big joke.

che-che

@mitch_93: So you would expect "classy formal and politics" from a comic book normally, I take it?
Personally I get all of my political news from Marvel.

@wonder6oy: Oh you gone and done it now.

@Moral_Avenger: They do tryouts now? Boy, I'm lucky I joined long ago. They'd never let me in with my current physical state.

@Lincolnsbeard33: there are people all over the word with the oddest of proclivities

Rey Rodrigues

First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me. Blow.

Kuwabara Kazuo

@mitch_93: You actually think that this is a publicity stunt by the Obama administration? How in the hell did you pass the Kotaku tryouts?

Moral_Avenger

That shirt is torn.

Change is required.

So... it depicts President Obama taking a chainsaw to our founding fathers.

Yah - that sounds about right.

wonder6oy

from a first look i though it to be more "I am legend".

@fauxbravo: pejejehe thats all folks!

I'd buy this game, Obama rocks!

this deserves to go on bad paintings of barak obama

[www.badpaintingsofbarackobama.com]

Lincolnsbeard33

@mitch_93: Yes because, the comics are authorized by a motion by the United States congress and/or the okay by Obama administrative.

Most likely these are being used under the IP theory of fair use for satire.

Your comment is not well thought out (what things are you referring to) - just bipartisan rhetoric which we don't need on a VIDEO GAME site.

@chronubis: Jeebus, I even missed the reply button I was going for. Time for a coffee break.

@Kikouken: why would you want to fuck shit?

Lincolnsbeard33

Groovy. Hail to the Chief, baby.

A future you can't believe in!

@I Wear Nice Hats:

Indeed!

The image listed above is an altered version of a poster for Amy Of Darkness (a.k.a. Evil Dead 3). The others are definitely Resident Evil.

@I Wear Nice Hats: My mistake. Glanced over that.

@excel_excel: He's here all week folks!

@laser beams: You could almost say this joke is.....dead!!!

Always good for a laugh lol

Violent St. Cannon

Obama can fuck shit up guys.

Kikouken

@I Wear Nice Hats:

Bruce Campbell For President!

I have that Spiderman-Obama comic!!
Spoilers: Spidey totally saves Obama from the Chameleon.

CosmicElement

yes it does. so this joke is tired on multiple levels... *yaaawn*

Haha just noticed how they made President Evil with Bush made by Sega. Brilliant!

@I Wear Nice Hats: "We just didn't expect that the comic would feature an homage to Army of Darkness. "

chronubis

Ha god I love the Resi 4 one, its the most basic of these but the smirk on Bush's face is perfect

That looks more 'Army of Darkness' than 'Resident Evil'.

This is a good example to show that things are too based on popularity and publicity stunts instead of being classy formal and politics.

mitch_93

Michelle Obama must be so proud. Of his biceps! Of him!

spannu

@Strangelove: I was thinking that too...

sephycloneno15

@Avinash_Tyagi: Obama benches 450 in his sleep

lolgreg

@d_r_e: I was going to say, was I the only one who noticed that the original, pre-satire poster had nothing to do with Resident Evil, haha.

StealthxZ30x

Klatu! Verata!

...

Nectie!

Nectar!

It's definitely an N word!

@wonder6oy: Ain't that the fucking truth.

@bobtheduck: Thats because Clinton was to busy getting blowjobs from monica.

Malevolentburrito

I think zombie FDR is the best thing about the image. Somebody get him his own book!

@Gyaruson: Dude, we're F'd in the A old school. Ignorance is increasing, not decreasing.

Hey_Blinkon

@Kikouken: He's well on his way...

Hey_Blinkon

@wonder6oy: Smartest comment I've ever seen on Kotaku.

catpeople79

I made a President Evil image I was rather proud of back during Bush vs. Kerry. It depicted a photoshoped Kerry attacking Jill on the cover of The GC Resident Evil remake. It looks pretty bad now, but I am still proud of how it came out considering I made it in the generic Windows picture editor.

gdamascus

Oh the reverse racism is killing me.

If obama was white this story wouldnt even be here for me to respond to. He wouldnt have been on a issue of amazing spiderman, he wouldnt have hats, tshirts, mugs, action figures and all that other shit.

If he was white no one would care but since he is black he is suddenly like the greatest man in america, doesnt anyone give a shit about how his ability to be president or anything at all?

HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ILL OF THE GOD PRESIDENT OBAMA!

We need to respect and love him as our savior

Pious_Augustus

If it's a homage to an 80's movie, then pick Reagan!

mcderek3000

@lolgreg: WOW! I can barely bench 140 lbs. :c

@Avinash_Tyagi: You actually voted for Bruce Campbell? Wish I had thought of that.

He's on Atkins Galactus: I Hunger! Heralds: No, Boss man, no carbs for you. Galactus: Whaaat....

@wonder6oy: Follower +1

@bobtheduck:
I am saying he is another Kennedy, yes. Never in a thousand years would I wish Kennedy's fate on someone else, but I do think that it's all glitz and no substance with that guy. Not like McCain had any appeal either, though. I do believe that Nixon was a great leader who made a colossal mis-step in his life. Kennedy just had the face for the Presidency, Nixon did not.

@Lincolnsbeard33:
I know, and I fear that they may never be again. I think the last election that had to do with actual politics was in 1980.

@Hey_Blinkon:
We can still dream, can't we? :)

@che-che: Have you not been around for the past 20 years? It's been a joke as long as I've been alive and aware of it, probably even longer.

Jennacide

Didn't LamePro come up with the joke first, if any publication did? They did it back when RE2 was still coming out. I remember it cause it was PresidentEvil 2, with an undead Lincoln.

Of course I remember it mostly cause it was Undead Lincoln, and that's awesome.

Jennacide

Won't happen to Obama, he's not trying to shut down the Fed.
