All in less than a year. I'm both amused and disturbed by this transformation of public perception. Political views aside, could there possibly be a more laughable representation of the President of the United States of America than having his likeness fashioned into a Chia Pet? As if the rest of the world needs any more fodder for poking fun at this country these days. I would imagine it is a big enough challenge maintaining the world's respect given the massive failure of an economy this nation currently operates in, but I'm certain that allowing the President to be immortalized as a Chia Pet will only make it more difficult to maintain credibility as an important international player. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for finding the humor in life, and for not taking one's self too seriously, but really? Should we not have (at least marginally) higher standards for the person responsible for leading (arguably) the most powerful nation in the world? At this rate, it won't be long before we get
