Branding Obama across the world
The Weatherproof Garment Company’s billboard hangs in Times Square in New York on Jan. 7, 2010 featuring a photograph of US President Barack Obama on a recent trip to the Great Wall in China, where he’s wearing one of their jackets. The billboard was removed two weeks later, after the White House requested its removal because the company did not have its permission to use the president’s image.
President Obama's visit to Israel is special. So special, in fact, that it's gotten an official name: "Operation Unbreakable Alliance." By the end of the week, it will have an official logo, too.
It's rare for a government to brand a state visit as such, but it's also not uncommon for countries to go a little ga-ga when it comes to Obama paying them a visit.
Here's a gallery of photos from Obama's visits around the world.
