The Wizard Obama meme often stems from photoshopped images of Barack Obama holding glowing orbs or manipulated photos where his hand gestures resemble a sorcerer casting a spell. It gained significant traction through the 'Shadow Wizard Money Gang' trend and general absurdist internet humor that places political figures in high-fantasy settings. Users typically employ this template to joke about 'Obamacare' being a spell or to create surreal, nonsensical scenarios involving political power and mysticism. It represents a subgenre of 'Obama Lore' that transforms his public persona into a legendary figure of the arcane arts.
