Obama as young Luke Skywalker, Hillary as Darth Vader, Bill as the Emperor, Bill Richardson as Han Solo. This new viral video promoting Obama's candidacy is brilliant and effective humor.

Hmm... "brilliant and effective" is hardly the adjectives I would use to describe this artwork. The words that came to mind for me are puerile and trite.
