Homage to Obama

My Obama caganer, a gift from the Yeguas girls

The Catalans paid special homage to Obama this year at Christmas by creating one of their traditional nativity figurines, the caganer, in his image.  I’m assured by the friends who sent me this one that it is intended entirely as an honor.  The caganer — that man who’s gotta go just as events unfold at the nativity scene — is , after all, a beloved character in Catalonia.  And since he’s meant to remind us of our humble humanity, I figure Obama would be flattered.
