If Obama was a woman, he might look something like this. This Worth1000 [photoshop contest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) features the world's most powerful men as women. All the greats are included in this virtual drag contest, and all look truly remarkable... and terrifying in drag.

Bush in pink should never be allowed to happen, Obama looks like quite a good woman, and Bill Clinton, well, where to you start? And Arnold in a swimming costume... oh my poor eyes! And then there is the horror of George Bush in a bra.

This is a brilliant set of [political drag photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-me), and I am counting the seconds until a Sarah Palin one goes live. Bring it on!
