Comparing Obama to Other Presidents: Been Done

 

Time hits us this week with this photo-illustration showing Barack Obama in full Franklin Delano Roosevelt get-up. Seems obvious... So obvious that the same Barack-FDR concept showed up as an illustration in last week's New Yorker:

Meanwhile, not to be outdone, this week's Newsweek cover compares Obama to Abraham Lincoln!

There's also this illustration with the Newsweek cover story...

Obama on a coin? Haven't people been selling buttons like that?

And hasn't John Stewart gone there too?

Comparing Omama to FDR is insulting. Lets not forget that FDR was the fool that took away our gold standard and thus turned real money into legal tender which later FDR regretted he ever made that move in the first place.
