presidential portrait

CNN has a good look at President-Elect Obama's official portrait (the picture that will go up in most federal government buildings and such), check it out here.

My first thought: did they have to photoshop the American flag lapel pin in?
Second thought: check out some of the comments that follow the picture... I especially like the cotton fields one (don't worry, it's a reverse-racist joke, one aimed at white racists).

And final reaction: man... isn't it great to have a president who doesn't look like a buffoon?
