Don't get me wrong. I love the way they pissed on the superhero movie concept, but I do think there was a subtle argument about Obama to the episode. Joe, you kind of hit the nail on the head in that The Coon siding with the villains, I think, was a nod to the far left's disillusionment over Obama backing off from many campaign promises and--in some cases--even going so far as continuing many W era things.

Throughout this past season, I believe, they took many shots at Obama. Whether it be the overt (The Oceans 11 episode) or more covert references(The Coon, IMO), the jabs at Obama have been thematic.

Of course, I was really high when I watched the coon episode so the THC may have just been making me see it that way. ;\)
