dish and discussion of the latest news and events from the U.S. political scene

The composite photo combines facial features of Bush with Obama. LA Times blogger, Mark Milian, describes the middle photo as the “the perfect ‘Obushma’ hybrid” — “perfect” isn’t the word I would use — “creepy,” “eerie,” “freaky,” “disturbing,” “ominous,” or “macabre” even. In fairness to Milian, he later describes the image as “creepy” in his post.
Is this a sign that we the people are set for a replay of the Reagan/ ‘Bush teh first’ years with a hopeful dash of the Clintons under Obushma? He does love him some Reagan. Confluence blogger, sm77, assessed that Reagan is Obama’s (political) daddy and no doubt more political DNA testing will follow at The Confluence.
