Default Obama?

I had to open my mouth and say I was trying to carve a caricature of Obama. And as you can see, I am still trying to do it. Cliff might have been right when he said I was way out of character in doing these "caricatures". I should probably stick with Santas, wizards , and gnomes. This little piece is bigger than usual! A giant! The head is 1 1/2 inches tall X 1 inch at the ears.
