That is what 'artist' Glen Beck has priced his newest art piece entitled "Obama in Pee Pee."
The installation itself works on many levels. It is both a reaction to the current world and the art world around him, so it must be respected as art, even if Beck is B-Grade. 
Part of his reasoning was as reaction to a Michael D'Antonio paining hung recently. Deemed blasphemous by some Christians, It depicts Obama with a crown of thorns in an arms out-stretched (i.e. 'crucified') posture.

I think the wings are a bit much and he does look smug but those are other dimensions in a deeply layered portrait. The artist claims  that "The crucifixion of the president was meant metaphorically. My intent was not to compare him to Jesus."

So anyway, Beck creates a Jesus bobble-head customized to be Obama and then, on his broadcast, tells everyone that he submerged the figure into a jar of his own urine.

Shock artist Andres Serrano also clearly inspired Beck with his 1987 photograph "Piss Christ," a photo of a crucifix that had been submerged in the artist's urine. This much more serious statement piece was eventually vandalized but has also recently been put on display in New York.

Later, it's revealed that the urine is fake and that the earlier claims in the installation were meant to impact the viewers who actually thought that it was real. 
Will the Christians get offended? Will the Democrat voters get upset? Will Glenn Beck end up on a secret list that he isn't already on? Will anyone even care? Click here to check out Glenn Beck's Art-piece/comedy sideshow. 
He is honest when he calls himself a "rodeo-clown."
