Barack Obama

| Chris on Obama, Rollin' and Trollin' | ||
Barack Obama is the 44th and current president of the United States of America. Because he is black (half black, anyway), Chris, being the somewhat racist autistic that he is, finds previously found him very detestable.
He appears briefly in issue 8 in episode 17 painting the White House black. There was a popular joke where he did so after winning the presidential office. Chris obviously took this joke way too seriously, even believing it as an actual rumor about Obama.
Chris, while initially disliking Obama, felt he and Obama were much a lot alike, in that they were both discriminated against, essentially equating Kick the Autistic with actual racial discrimination. Chris admitted that after watching the A&E documentary on Obama and McCain, he decided to vote for Obama because he felt he had more in common with him. Once again, democracy fails us...
Chris did a prearrainged interview in the video Rollin' and Trollin' where he spoke about how he liked Obama and made no mention of painting the White House black.
On New Years Eve 2009, Chris claimed to have "snail-mailed" Barack Obama asking to make Homo ads on the CWCipedia illegal, with involvement from the FBI and jail sentences.
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 Hillary Clinton (D-NY), who would later become Obama's Secretary of State, and McCain's running mate, then-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, also look on with annoyance. This page was removed from CWC's site along with the comic pages featuring pornography; the pornographic pages were restored in the Luv Shack, but the Obama page remained removed.
Curiously, Obama is wearing a kufi, which is a traditionally African hat. It is unknown whether Chris included to emphasize Obama's African American heritage, or if he believes that Obama is secretly a Muslim, in which case he would be wearing a taqiyah. Either way, the fact that Chris included this bit of information betrays his obviously stereotypical view of the then-Senator Obama.
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.
