Concrete Obama Head Goes on Tour

The USSR specialized in oversized statues of communist thugs done in the awkward Socialist Realism style. As in so many other areas, the Hopey Changey USSA is following suit:
Its creator, 82-year-old artist David Adickes, is traveling with the 3½-ton bust, and grinned as he looked at the head that was parked on the street.
"Most people just ogled it on the highway," he said. "Only one guy gave us the finger."
Take it on tour in a couple years, after the media hype wears off and economic hardship takes firm root. The bust will get a lot more fingers.
On a tip from mandible claw.
