If You Give A White House Parodist A Cookie…

I thought Christopher Morris (and Maybe Christopher, himself, thought he) was moving away from political satire with the extinguishing of Bush and the Republicans.

Well, he’s back. And, what makes this a significant picture, and even marks it as an event — given Christopher’s stature as perhaps America’s pre-eminent visual Presidential parodist/documentarian — is the evidence that the Obamas — in terms of ironic constraint — have finally been liberated.

Of course, I welcome your read, and your read on the read.
