While Obama has got the dream job and has landed one of the most powerful positions ever, he has the weight of world on his shoulders and his own people's expectations of change; Well one piece of good news he can contend with is that he is considered a bit too handsome for satire by a cartoonist.
Pierre Kroll from Belgium was quoted as saying "It's never a gift for a caricaturist to draw a handsome man,"
Kroll whose works appear on the Belgian daily Le Soir added "Somehow, we prefer overweight people, people with a beard, huge noses, ridiculous glasses ... If caricaturists could elect presidents, we would choose people with faces we enjoy drawing, and not a playboy like him,"
Apparently while bush was a favourite for such caricatures, the way Obama is viewed favouribly by the world makes it harder for him to be mocked according to the cartoonist.
"Caricaturists like to be a bit nasty and here he comes with a lot of sympathy; it's harder for us to do our job and mock him while Bush had become a favourite target for cartoonists,"
Well I do believe Obama has an awesome body and is actually quite charismatic and charming but too good looking?!!
Nah not even close but hopefully that goodwill he generated all over the world towards him will not disappear quite quickly as he inherited quite a legacy.
