I take exception to this photo. The legend of Robin Hood is often simplified as "robbing from the rich to give to the poor" but that is really a simplistic bastardization of the legend. The legend is far more complex and Robin Hood, according to the legend, robbed from the oppressive government to give back to the citizens. The sheriff was the oppressor in the story, the evil brother of the king put the sheriff in charge to over tax the people and keep them down. Robin Hood took back the citizen's money.
This photo showing Obama as Robin Hood is a total betrayal of the legend.
To take the story a bit further, Robin Hood actually fought on behalf of the legitimate government against a would be usurper, eventually helping preserve the crown.
