A Short Biography of Barack Obama

The New York Times has a number of blogs by musicians, including Suzanne Vega, Chicagoan Andrew Bird and founding member of my beloved dB's, Peter Holsapple.

One of the other contributors is a guy I'd never heard of, Jeffrey Lewis. He's got a post about his art-- he does music and comic books-- and an introduction to the video below, which is a short comic book/song biography of Barack Obama.

You've got to love an artist whose media are crayon and folk music.
