Consider this “But They Were Supposed To Love Us After That Cairo Speech – Part XXXVI.”
The Associated Press reports the latest example of what a media-fueled farce Obama’s Cairo speech was:
A morning protest in Jalalabad city was peaceful, with hundreds of people blocking a main highway for three hours, shouting for U.S. troops to leave and burning an effigy of President Barack Obama before dispersing, according to an Associated Press photographer at the scene.
Hold on just a damn minute. We don’t think that’s an effigy of President Obama. The ears are too small and the bulge in the pants is too big. Might be Michelle instead.

Uhm... what's with the superman colors?
I mentioned this on another site, but a culture that suppresses its art and artists is only going to be able to come up with crappy effigies.

I'm thinkin' "Effigies for Dummies" would be a best seller!
They would only burn the book anyway, so why bother?
That dummy looks more like Rev. Jones in Florida than it does OB. Did they have trouble finding dark sack cloth for his head? And why the cross? If anything, this bastard-in-chief we have in the WH should be burned along with a red cresent and a Qur'an! Did I actually say that? YES I DID! YES I CAN! YES I WILL!
So does this mean if someone from the U.S. starts killing random people, they can say it's the protesters' fault? Going by the recent Terry Jones interview with ABC News, ABC News would have to think so.
Kinda looks like they were going with the Superman look with the blue and red combo.
Nice touch with the tie, although I thought the retro 70's satin shirt was too nice to burn.
I just commented before I saw your comment. I don't understand the Superman colors at all. I know that he made a joke about himself being Kal-El from Krypton a couple of years ago... weird. How am I supposed to know that is Obama?
KQ...I think they must have seen this picture and that's how they got mixed up thinking he was Superman....LOL!

Well there you go. I mean seriously? Can you imagine if Bush had done that? He would have been hammered by the media? But Obama does this and he is just too cute...
Yep, unbelievable!
In case anyone was wondering, it's not shopped...it was taken on August 14, 2006 following his 50th Town Hall meeting. It was taken at the Superman statue in Metropolis, Illinois...billed to be the home of the DC Comics superhero - (according to Wikipedia)
Epic ego.
Oh, and he's a Candy Ass to boot!
I did see the video of his mug ass self hamming it up for the cameras on the news.
It's Bush's fault. The protesters are just confused who the president responsible is.
Excuse me now. I need to go purge my soul with fire.
Why effigy?
The head looks more like Man-Bear-Pig.
