Painting by Michael D'Antuono (I think)
Thanks to Peter Goldberg for sending this link from O Globo.
In Rio, painter Michael D’Antuono, created this depiction of Barack Obama posed as Jesus Christ. I don’t know how I feel about this. I am not religious, and back when I was, I wasn’t Christian; but something about this doesn’t sit right with me.
If Barack Obama is the son of God, then he can’t make mistakes; which doesn’t give us our all-American right to question his actions. Also, who’s sins is he dying for? I assume America’s, which is a strong statement from a foreign artist. Is our country so far gone, that only divine sacrifice can save us? I don’t know, what do you guys think?

I don’t know what consumer impulse in humans causes them to make things like Obama condoms, but I love it. There are probably even more ridiculous Obama products–I saw an Obama Chia Pet on TV today too–and the guy has just started his first term.
That said, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this historic Presidency than with the ones you love. Or at least the ones you’re making love to, with Obama condoms.
What’s your pick for most outrageous Obama merchandise so far?

Thanks to the Onion for this one. They know me all too well.
Obama Depressed, Distant Since ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Series Finale
“Our nation finds itself in uncharted territory in the deep emptiness of space,” Obama announced. “The Old Girl has limited supplies, no allies, and now, no hope. I never said this would be an easy journey. Yet I promise you this: There is a place where there is no war and no economic turmoil. It is where, according to the Sacred Scrolls handed down to us by the Lords of Kobol, the thirteenth tribe traveled over three thousand years ago. That place is called Earth. Not the other Earth. This Earth. It’s complicated. Anyway, I plan to take us there.”
They even mention my favorite episode “Unfinished Business” and mock my least favorite episode, one where Helo has to deal with a bunch of sick people.
