WASHINGTON - In a announcement from the White House today the portrait of the sixteenth president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was removed from its location in favor of an image of the Obama's Portuguese Water Dogs Sunny and Bo.
The decision was made by The First Lady Michelle Obama, who was not shy in explaining why she had the portrait removed.
"It just always bothered me every single time I walked by it. It looks like some creepy old malnourished white guy with sunken cheeks and bad posture. That's nothing to be proud of, and honestly it sets a bad example. It's not like the guy has done anything for us recently anyways. He's been dead for like what? Three hundred years now? At least with Sunny and Bo up there it makes the room a little more warm and inviting instead of some dark picture of some dead white guy."
The Lincoln portrait will be most likely kept in storage next to the portraits of Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, and Taft, who are also scheduled for removal as bad role models in the First Lady's campaign against obesity.
"Who wants pictures of fat and old white guys in their home? It's really disturbing and I shouldn't have to look at them," stated Mrs. Obama.
Until the replacements for the portraits are determined, the First Lady will be content having blank spaces on the wall while she decides on something more appropriate.
My first thought was "ON THE 150th ANNIVERSARY TOO! GRR!"
The Whitehouse surely is going to the dogs.
That’s funny.
SATIRE TAG PLEASE !!!!!
“Who wants pictures of fat and old white guys in their home? It’s really disturbing and I shouldn’t have to look at them,” stated Mrs. Obama.
I totally fell for this.
Lincoln had a disability that make him look like he did.
thought people with any disability were off limits?
Call American Media...hellooo media ...can she get away with picking on a past Preident’s disability?
Good one.
She is probably going to replace all the portraits of white presidents with posters of Chairman Mao and Lenin and Castro.
Imagine Cruz wins and takes down a portrait of Obama saying “ I doesn’t want to see picture of a black gay Muslim President.”
You forgot James Brown and Michael Jackson. Oh wait...Jackson was white - never mind.
the photo is actually form Mooches Iphone...
she caught Obie trying to find where shed hidden his stash.
he was of the opnion that shed hidden it in the safe behind the Lincoln Portrait
LOL!
I’m SHOCKED this article isn’t legit. I still can’t believe it’s satire.
Not just that, he was a White Woman....
In America you can be whatever you wanna be....
sounds plausible with the mentality of these people.
Still wondering where is the bust of Churchill?
Photos say it all.
Also, that wallpaper is just a few years old, who’s been smoking in there? /s
This is a joke right. LOL!
