The hope clinic cartoon speaks volumes.

What will his kooky cult come up with next? I shudder to imagine ...

A black and white newsreel portraying how he loves children and flowers. It's been done before, with cloyingly sweet music.

"The Fuehrer's favorite flower is the lovely eidelwiess".

That statue looks suspiciously like Pinnochio!!!

It’s a good reminder that any Indonesian boy can grow up to be President of the United States.

Wasn’t Barry a little more chubby IRL than this statue suggests? You know, like one of those overweight kids he and Michelle want to lecture and control?

You're right, and here he is.

The statue doesn't look the way Barry looked back then. What they've done is shrunk down present-day Obama, and made him look like a child. In reality, his face at the time was very different.

Here's the statue from the front. It's pure fantasy.
