More than a computer game from the early 90s, Lemmings are little rodents said to blindly follow each other off a cliff to their death because they don't know how to think on their own. One dictionary even defines the word "lemming" as "following the crowd into an investment that will inevitably head for disaster". Sounds a lot like Obama supporters, doesn't it?
Have you ever actually asked an Obama supporter what his plans for the country are? I bet they can't tell you. They'll spit out some anti-war or anti-oil company rhetoric or tell you how he inspires them when he talks. Great... but what are his plans? Questioned again, they tell you something about a mythical tax cut or how everyone will have health care. Great... but what are his plans? What are the details? How is he going to accomplish this? Pushed, they will then either A. call you a racist or B. tell you again how inspiring his speeches are.
I don't want to down play the inspirational part of his speeches, but peel away the vague promises and platitudes and you are left with little more than a socialist agenda. Reverend Wright was certainly inspiring to some of his parishioners too... but it doesn't mean he deserves to be President.
But the Lemmings can't hear, or don't choose to listen. They are blindly following him off the cliff. Unfortunately they are taking our country with them.

A delightful design, although it's based upon a lie about lemmings promulgated way back when by Disney and, like political lies, repeated often enough that it has become accepted as truth: Lemming suicide is fiction
The only thing I'd change is the color of their shirts from blue to brown.
