BEIJING (AP) - The Chinese have learned English from his speeches and celebrated the way he rolls up his sleeves. Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he's being greeted with "Oba Mao" T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames. Sunday's arrival of a U.S. president admired for his charisma is already a source of profit and brief fame for some Chinese.
Strangest is the burning Obama, tucked away in a Beijing warehouse. Artist Liu Bolin hopes Obama can take time from his visit to drop by.
"He's so hot right now, so I wanted to translate that through my work," said Liu, who was inspired by the idea of the first black U.S. president.
The bronze Obama bust is modeled on Time magazine's "Man of the Year" cover and is speckled with holes for gas that ignites every couple of minutes.

Maybe they will keep him? Probably not. I would bet the t-shirts are made and forced onto the people by the government and the crowds are all “demonstrate or die” crowds(can’t call them rent a crowds in China).
This is a disturbing visual. I don't care if this statue is supposed to be positive (according to the artist), but the only place a person should be seen on fire is in a crematorium.
I'm surprised there is no fire in his eyes.
Or perhaps when emerging from Hell...
I can’t atop laughing and it’s been five minutes. ROR
Ditto...ROR
