On his Twitter page, pictoral warlock extraordinaire Bill Sienkiewicz posted these two portraits of president Obama (if there ever was a president that deserves the title ad infinitum, it’s this one) that reflect both aspects that I admire in the man. He is the grave statesman who needs to make equally grave decisions compromises to saveguard the long gain, and at the same time the warm, humourful man with a wit that is equally sharp as it is encompassing. Maybe not a man of the people, but at least more a man with the people than the current one will ever be.
