Bad paintings of Barack Obama — an idea whose time has come. Featuring this surreal stunner with a south-of-the-border/flying underpants theme, showing Obama with what appears to be a taco on his head.

A google search of "Obama Taco Underwear" gave me this:
[Link: otunderwear.com...]
Home of the Taco Werewolf
"Hello and welcome to my Barack Obama fan site! Like many people in America, I've been sucked into "Obamamania," entranced by the Illinois senator's soaring, lofty speeches and calls for change. I am an artist and became inspired to create a painting series based on the Obama movement. I've looked around the web at some of the other Obama art and wondered how I could offer a unique perspective and style, how I could contribute to the political art of this historical period of time in an original, relevant way. I'd almost given up on how to do this until it occured to me one night in May '08 as I sat in my recliner at home watching the results of the Indiana/North Carolina primaries that I was once again watching the election results in my underwear and while eating TACOS for, like, the 10th night in a row!"

President Obama’s Priorities: Human Rights Be Damned
Anne BayefskyOn Friday, March 26, 2010, the UN Human Rights Council’s month-long session ended, along with any justification for believing that President Obama is a champion of human rights. The president insisted that America join the UN’s lead human-rights body for the first time very early in his presidency, and the consequences are now painfully clear. The enemies of democracy and freedom are having a field day at the expense of American interests and values.
The Council, which meets in Geneva, is the personal playground of the Organization of the Islamic Conference. They hold the balance of power by controlling the Asian and African regional groups, which together form a majority at the Council. The Council’s agenda is accordingly fixated on issues of priority to the Islamic bloc -- number one, delegitimizing Israel; number two, trumping free speech in the name of Islam; and number three, avoiding any criticism of human-rights violations in their own backyards. None of which has anything to do with protecting human rights.
More troubling than the Council’s growing infamy, however, is the Obama administration’s relationship to it. The America on display in Geneva is an embarrassment, and the only people oblivious to how the U.S. is perceived by those assembled are the American representatives themselves.
