"Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he's being greeted with 'Oba Mao' T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames."
Obama — Oba Mao — goes to China. Oh, settle down! They're not saying he's a big old Communist:

Communists of a feather flocking together. I sure hope Obama doesn't get a tingle down his leg as a billion Red Chinese worship him.
How hot is it?
Flaming!
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning
And nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke
But I feel fine
Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love...
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love.

"It's just fashion."
And I would never want to be less than FULL of fashion.
Oba-Mao shirts???
Oh...those could be big sellers in this country! Seriously...
Of course, he's not a big old Communist! He's a big NEW one.
He'd never have made it in the Chinese system.
But embarrassingly, I do enjoy watching who does well on the runway.
Just a little quirk of mine.
Carry on!
Oops, sorry, I should have credited Tim Gunn, I suppose?
He's probably glad again to be in a place where he's still a novelty.
Or maybe not?
Memes just POP.
Will Obama stop in Tokyo on his way to take part in a Japanese game show? One can only hope.
That the Red Chinese are doing this voluntarily is what amazes me.
You usually don't blow the Manchurian Candidate's cover.
WV "restra" What Caesar asked Cleopatra directions to.
I would imagine Mao is probably the only person Obama can name from Chinese history. So it is good that the artist chose a reference our special ed President can understand. You go Obama. Yes you can. Everyone is special after all.
Ahem, I think I covered "Obamao" right down to the name when I made this image.
Kind of surprised that no one's linked to this:

Or on second thought, maybe I'm not surprised.
Oba-Mao shirts???
Oh...those could be big sellers in this country! Seriously...
They can stock them right next to the Che shirts.
I love that PR clip!
How ironic that Chinese people are in effect worshiping President Obama even as he goes to prostrate himself before Hu Jintao.
Whoever recommended the book "Gang of One" about his neighbor and his experiences with the Red Guard: thank you. An excellent, disturbing, sad, triumphant, moving book. I am glad the writer escaped. I wonder what he thinks of Obama.
