The Chinese have figured out the true Obama: Burning Man-Obama

“The artist explains that the sculpture represents U.S. President Barack Obama’s impact on the world!”

Obama the Burning Man who leaves charred ruin in is wake and can’t even call the FT Hood extremist by his true name: Islamic Terrorist! Does this remind you of the legend of Nero?

It's just plain weird (and, of course, a little creepy). I can't recall any other statue (artwork) that I've seen that was on fire (certainly not of a president).
