However, Samuel Jackson was not a world leader. Look back on Dukakis in the tank, and John Kerry in the scrubs, and even Obama in the African garb. None of those photos were used in a flattering way. I'm just saying the political fall out would be more negative than positive and therefore not really worth the effort to put Obama in a kilt, at least without some very clear and specific context for it.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him in a kilt with a nice belt and sporran strap I was actually joking with a friend the other day that if I could only get Obama in a kilt I could retire from my day job.
