On January 30th, 2009, a 4 panel comic depicting President Obama hitting a kid with a snowball was posted onto the site Superpoop.com, a website by Toothpase For Dinner artist Drew.

A photo series of Obama from 2007 was posted to Digg on Feb 5th, 2009 with the title Obama is Kind of a Dick along with the insert of a poor orange cat who appears to be the victim of the fun. In actuality Obama was throwing a snowball at at a campaign staff worker, never pictured in the original published set.

Two days later, on Feb 7th, a new thread was posted to Digg entitled Obama is Kind of a Hero which replaced the undeserving cat with the. . .ahem, deserving. . .George Bush shoe throw scene.

Following the viral success of the meme, a Presidential Snowball Generator was created by Superpoop.
