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?
