Obama Sushi

Yes they did. it's President Obama's smiling face, rendered in loving detail in rice and fish bits, down to the oblong head shape. I'd love to tell you exactly what this is made from, but my Japanese skills are a bit, er...nonexistent, despite several years of working in various sushi restaurants. So Japanese-speaking Slashfoodies, please help me out by clicking through to the MSN Japan site and translating. Domo arigato! There's even a tutorial in case you want to make and eat the president's face at home.
