The works he drew about Obama were fantastic: herding literal cats; or the classic one of Barack and Michelle dressed up in stereotypical “terrorist” outfits, Michelle with an Angela Davis “afro” and brandishing an AK-47, Barack in traditional Muslim garb, etc. Both are sharing what the Fox News idiots termed a “terrorist fist bump,” and thus the genesis of Blitt’s work.

Jesus, it’s would’ve been easier to just post the image. Back to sleep I go.
