You may have heard the song, but the cartoon video is great. There's No One as Irish as Bareach O'bama.
On the pessimistic side, there's a pretty persistent meme out there comparing Obama to Mikhail Gorbachev. Moribund economy, social system on it's life-support, even war in Afghanistan and then the high hopes raised by a brash young reformer.
Cartoonist Ted Rall took this tack as early as last July
And check out this Idleworm post in the same vein; All Hail Comrade Obamachev
Then again some of the reaction to Obama is just weird. Like this Japanese action figure for example;

Considering how freaked gun rights people have been about Obama's election, buying up guns and ammo in record numbers, an assault weapon brandishing Obama is deliciously ironic!
I just randomly ended up in this blog, and though this is an old post, I wanted to comment about that last link "better left alone". (I am from Spain).
Regardless of anyone's feelings or opinions (absolutely respected on my part) about those Christmas figures, I wanted to provide some context. The figure shouldn't be taken as a literal statement about Obama, but more as a sign of his popularity. Here's a picture of the same figures depicting Prince of Asturias (son of the King of Spain), his wife and daughter.
