It is a terrible likeness, it looks like they didn't even try to make it resemble him.

Dh & I were watching SYFY channel & a commercial for this came on. I've always considered Chia-anything just this side of sleazy. "Chia notable person" has never been done before that I know of so why now? Agree the likeness is horrible

Hilarious, I would like to have one but they cost $18.99. I wouldn't pay $18.99 for Obama himself.

As Obama gets older will Chia alter the figure so that the stuff also grows out his ears?

is it even possible to be offended by something so silly ? Some people have very fragile sensibilities, I suppose.

Really? What on earth is the least bit offensive about this? Would a Chia McCain have offended you?
