Obama in Brazil Part V

In Rio, the best selling mask for this year's Carnival is...you guessed it, Obama. Drunken, sweaty Obamas will be running wild all over the city come February. Though I think this particular mask is kind of creepy, it's a Carnival tradition to wear masks of famous people and to dress up in costumes, just like Americans do on Halloween.
