Obama memology 101

11:30 AM PT, May 12 2008

Obama If you missed it last week, Gawker posted an excellent assemblage of Obama memes -- all the little ways that the Illinois senator has caught the imagination of the pop and online cultures. You've got Ernie trying to persuade Burt not to vote for Hillary, Obama as Luke versus Hillary as Darth Vader, Obama as part of a hallucinatory Indian music video, Obama Girl, and more.  And these are just the best ones -- dig around a little on YouTube and you'll see a bevvy of more casual Obama riffs too (here's one daughter's "ObaMama's  day" gift, a homemade Obama comic strip, and a couple of Obama baby videos, of which there are many).
