.... and I love them all Considering artistic interpretation, Barry never looked better.

Downfall: I wish there was more info on the artist and perhaps the AGE of the artist.

Some of these aren't half bad. I liked the Elvis Obama.

I dunno, this one seems okay. It's not exactly an inspired portrait, but the execution is fine.

Barack Obama in a white Elvis suit, striding out of the river, with roses, and is that a white horse, or is it actually a unicorn? That one is truly inspired by Love.

I thought the whole White-House-as-teeth thing was kind of cool in this one, but I can't figure out what it means.

I was in Tanzania recently and there were a ton of bad paintings of Obama all over Moshi and Arusha.

YOU ARE NOT UGLY BETTY I don't want to think about what this fantasy involves (warning: Obama and Limbaugh butts)

The White-House-as-teeth one disturbs me so much. So, so much.

I do think it's shady that the artist is not named or credited. The ones that are clearly the works of little kids make me smile, but there should be a 'Jenny, Oak Tree Elementary, Age 8' on them somewhere. Give the artist their credit!

@kokuRyu I agree. I really liked that one too. But you all have pointed out some great ones that I did not see. Must be a 15 min click through

Shamanabama reminds me of Yes We Will, a weird sci-fi comic on Tor.com (with awkward drawings of most everyone represented).

Yes We Will, a weird sci-fi comic on Tor.com (with awkward drawings of most everyone represented). That was kind of Sandman-esque.

For what it's worth I taped a fake cigarette and some googly eyes (one big, one small, for either an intense squint or perspective!) to my Obama poster but am at a loss as to what to add next. It looks like maybe it should be a third googly eye. Or a unicorn.

David Hockney or Avigdor Arikha would have been proud of this one. And this one is alright. If they hadn't made the error on the right eye it would have been quite successful. And who could denigrate this? It's fantastic. A lot of these are not half bad. At least there are some ideas on display.
