We’ve seen political mints and other kinds of partisan candy–these joke-imprinted products are practically a staple of political campaign promotions. But Obama sushi? This patriotic food-for-thought is sort of disturbing in its detail and intricacy, though it must have taken some considerable culinary talent to construct.

During the campaign, several restaurants offered both McCain- and Obama-themed hamburgers, but these didn’t actually look like the candidates; likewise, a few sushi bars renamed some of their classic rolls after the candidates without replicating their faces. Somehow, though, I can’t imagine that McCain winning the election would have resulted in a sushi portrait. Maybe a fish’s head on a personalized award plaque.
