would you spend $104 million on this?

I'm always puzzled as to why people care about these amounts. Why is 104m in A's bank + this statue in B's home better than 104m in B's bank + this statue in A's home?

Makes no difference whatsoever to me.

They are just following the money. A lot of people who hear $104 million start salivating.

the funny thing is when I first saw a picture of it in the paper, I thought it was supposed to be an artistic representation of Obama. I was thinking some dignitary visiting the White House had offered this as a gesture of good will, with Obama promising to put it in the Oval Office (at least until said dignitary and all the reporters left the room.)

the artist was ahead of his time.
