Obama Eats

Ah yes, I found this photo on Obama Foodorama over the weekend and could not help sharing it! Mighty impressive don't you think? A Japanese chef has made American President Barack Obama into delicious sushi."Obama's skin is small shrimp," the chef says. "Hair is black sesame, fish paste teeth." If you can read Japanese, the story can be read here. If you do not read Japanese you should go to the link anyway to see the other photos within the article.

There is also artist Zilly Rosen's 5,900 cupcake installation at the Smithsonian American Art Museum last week of a double portrait of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama. A video can be seen here on the process. This is not her first project along these lines. Way back on Election Day in November '08, Zilly created a 1,240-cupcake artwork of Barack at Obama's Buffalo headquarters. An informative interview can be read at Cupcakes Take the Cake.
I'd like to know who got to eat all these cupcakes?
