The paragraph above looks like gibberish. But I agree that OP's picture does not resemble Obama. And yes, I can't do better. Perhaps I can do worse if I try hard. :-)

My point exactly. If they used a font that is taller than normal like ter-k20n and then posted it and we all view it in a normal font like Courier then the art we see is going to look shorter but wider than what they saw when they created it. -- =()==()==()==()==()- http://fauxascii.com \ \ \ \ \ \ ASCII artist :F_P:-O- -O- -O- -O- -O- -O- -O- http://faux-pseudo.livejournal.com
