Brilliant, Fran! Thank you! Now I gotta run, or I'm going to miss Mr. Guevara Lynch's movie!

So...that is not in the spirit or tone that makes me at all comfortable. A chez guarvara or revolutionary imagery is wrong, imo. But, recall the headline of USA Today on inauguration day..."Obama Take Power". Sounds like a revolutionary to me. ;)

Obama Mad Magazine Cover: Spoofs President's First 100 Days
First Marvel Comics, now Mad Magazine. President Barack Obama, who was given the illustrious honor of appearing on the cover of Marvel's "Amazing Spider-Man" comic earlier this month, is now being spoofed courtesy of Mad magazine. Playing off the theme of his 'first 100 days,' the magazine's cover features a stressed-out Obama puffing away on cigarettes as he scans dire newspaper headlines during his "first 100 minutes."
This is not the first time Obama has graced the satirical magazine's cover, which announced last week that it will now be published quarterly instead of monthly. He also appeared on the September 2008 cover with the headline "Yes We Can't".

--- Quote ---Regarding the well circuluated "art" of Obama's image in red and blue, I think it looks more like a Chez Guevara poster or other revolutionary leader than anything Americana.

I agree! That makes me very uncomfortable for some reason.
I don't like the comparison. I hope it is purely unintentional.
