A new art exhibit that looks like Barack Obama in Jesus' robe and halo is causing a stir in Chicago.
The artist says he did his senior art project depicting Obama as Jesus because,
"All of this is a response to what I've been witnessing and hearing, this idea that Barack is sort of a potential savior that might come and absolve the country of all its sins," Cordero said. "In a lot of ways it's about caution in assigning all these inflated expectations on one individual, and expecting them to change something that many hands have shaped."
Obama's thoughts on the exhibit? Well, his campaign is trying to steer clear of this one, saying they're for First Amendment rights but also cautious of offending people. Personally, I think it's rather funny and the artist does have a point in his comments.
