As one would guess almost every Jamaican is ecstatic about Obama being elected president. As such, you see many effigies of him all over. Even before the election you saw many signs, posters and shirts of him. There were even songs written about him. Below are some pictures I took in Negril this weekend. Of course I am unclear on what some of the signage means. Like, what does "Obama to the World" mean? It must be in a positive context, but what? And one picture looks more like Tiger Woods, than Obama. When I was taking one I was asked to give the person who owned the shop money. But he's my president. Do I need to be giving somebody from a different country money who drew a picture of MY president?
