White House Gag
While still a Senator, Obama made a cameo appearance in Sonichu #8, featured in one of the multitude of bizarre elevator gags seen as Sonichu and Rosechu ascend to the top of the 4-cent_garbage.com building. Inexplicably, the entire White House is contained on the 51st floor, where Candidate Obama is painting the exterior black. Below, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) who ran against Obama in the 2008 Presidential race, chides Obama for presuming to redecorate the White House before actually securing the election. Senator Hilary Clinton (D-NY), who would later become Obama's Secretary of State, and McCain's running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, also look on with annoyance.
From inside the White House, then-President George W. Bush (looking a lot like Giovanni) notices Obama's audacious paintjob, and takes matters into his own hands. Using a broom, he tips over Obama's ladder. The implied extent of Obama's injuries from the fall are left up to the imagination of the reader (and hopefully the Secret Service).
In a rare instance of giving credit for other people's ideas, Chris acknowledges that his father Bob Chandler inspired the gag. Whether this is Chris's feeble attempt to integrate his father into his comic, or a weak effort to shift the blame if anyone takes offense, is unclear.
