Obama Nativity Figurine Popular in Italian Shops... (Unbelievable)
CNS News ^ | Nov 12th, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – Figurines of President Barack Obama are being put in nativity scenes in shops in Naples, Italy for the Christmas season.

Craftsman Marco Ferrigno told Reuters on Nov. 7 that Obama’s reelection sparked the production.

"Every time a major event occurs we create a new figurine and today after Obama's victory, we have made a new figurine of Obama and will put him in our ideal nativity scene,” Ferrigno said.

Reuters reported that the shop keepers said bargain hunters could get a “big discount” on figurines of GOP candidate Mitt Romney.

Italian fans of Obama said his likeness in the nativity scenes is a portrayal of how important his role is in today's world, according to Reuters.

There used to be this thing called...blasphemy. I guess that was in the “old normal” though.

Oh, I dont know. They are depicting Obie Wanna-be Cracka as one of the wisemen, complete with crown.

Someday the Boy-King WILL bow his knee and CONFESS who the Real King is.

Kinda prophetic if you ask me.

Before I look at the comments and pics I will answer your question.

YES.

Oh you mean the donkey that was used as transport?
I don’t know, but I stick by my original answer.

I would like to get a Catalan Obama caganer. You know, one of their folk traditions is that they do this one nativity scene figure that’s crouching, pants down, pooping. Originally, the figure was a folk-dressed Catalan peasant, but with the modern consumer age, they have all kinds of specialty and celebrity caganers, so yeah, pooping Obamas are an actual thing. Or perhaps I should say “Obamas pooping Obamas”.
