Figurines of President Barack Obama are appearing in Nativity scenes in shops in Naples, Italy for the Christmas season.

Craftsman Marco Ferrigno told Reuters on Nov. 7 that Obama’s reelection sparked the production.

"Every time a major event occurs we create a new figurine, and today after Obama's victory, we have made a new figurine of Obama and will put him in our ideal Nativity scene,” Ferrigno said.

Reuters reported that the shop keepers said bargain hunters could get a “big discount” on figurines of GOP candidate Mitt Romney.

Italian fans of Obama said his likeness in the nativity scenes is a portrayal of how important his role is in today's world, according to Reuters.

It's not really a political thing - they add all sorts of stuff to Nativity scenes (Precepe) there. It's kind of the Renaissance equivalent of having a bobblehead figurine made of you. My favorite is "The Crapper", which is exactly what it sounds like. Any big Precepe will have a figure of a little boy who was taking a dump during the First Christmas. I'm not sure what theological significance that has, but....

Meh .... EVERY Nativity scene I've ever seen always has at least ONE Jackass there.

Obobblehead. I like it!

Just to give you guys some insight.
Those nativity figurines ( preSepe) made in San gregorio Armeno ( naples) will add anything that makes the news every year. Just to give you an example, there's a figurine of BHO holding bin laden's head. Not kidding. Take them as folkloric, not serious or devout.

Sir,

taxation in Italy's currently around 41% with some fluctuation due to different schemes on some sectors.
