I don't see how its racist, other than if they are intending it to be white face, and not just a play on The Joker.

That's the main issue many people have pointed out. As we know, at his heart, the Joker is clearly an anarchist, not a socialist. I believe the artist is making more of a superficial connection between Obama and the Joker, as in Obama is a joke, his policies were socialist all along.
