Image: Could Obama be the next Che?

As the country moves into a new era of leadership and hope with the entrance of President Obama. His image is easily found everywhere. When he was still the president elect Obama his friendly face was all over the media as they followed him to his current position. Obama's picture, before and present, can be found on T shirts, posters, car stickers, artwork, comic strips, etc.

There are very few representations of individuals which could and are world recognized. One such infamous picture of a face I believe falls into this category, the portrait of Che. Is the image of Obama becoming the next Che image? The front of Che is not only a very recognizable face but his mug has become a symbol, such as being associated with the concept of revolution. I'm sure the list is very long with the metaphors connected to Che but has this icon attachment happened with our new president?

Part of the campaign strategy is for the public to associate the candidate with a one word or positive phrase. With the hope of the country looking towards President Obama for improvement does his depiction stir up hope, change or progress? I'm sure that his features are recognized internationally however what will he be a sing of? At the moment I believe to most he does signify change but only time will tell how he will be seen in history.
