This illustrated tableau by Fosta, also known as Nick Foster, honors the interests and hobbies of President-elect Barack Obama. Some inclusions are fairly straightforward, like deep-dish pizza from Hyde Park, Chicago and a draft of ‘Dreams From My Father.’ Others are silly, like the ‘100 Dance Moves’ book with a Post-It note that says, "Read before Ellen."
There’s a comprehensive to-do list with charts, graphs and maps of Iraq, oil and finance. There’s also a clipboard with a list of nice things for Obama to say to George [presumably Bush]. FYI: The list is blank.
