The hands are just bizarre looking. They must be two feet from the wrist to the fingers.

Her portrait doesn't look anything like her - which is generally a good thing. Although the artist did capture that faintly p*ssed-off look in the eyes. Seriously, is that woman ever really happy about anything?

His portrait is so ... just off ... slouching? Look how out of proportion his hands are. Well, one part of his is right - the ivy growing around his feet is a nice metaphor for his being so mired in old failed socialist ideas.

In doing so his portrait will stand out throughout history as a joke....like his presidency. Carter who many considered the worst president has a wonderful portrait and will be forgotten in importance eventually. You will never escape Obama standing out....and history will not be kind. I wonder if you can change your official portrait or if it is a done deal. If so, to funny. His portrait and his presidency will live in infamy.

From an artist, craftsman, and photographer perspective, these portraits are simply awful.

On a positive note, Michael's portrait captures his scowl pretty well and the greenery in Barack’s portrait does a great job of overpowering his smugness.

This is like the icing on the Obama administration cake. It very well depicts who they are. Anti-Obama people could not have painted a better Presidential portrait set. This defines them perfectly. Comic book art.

Poison ivy, poison ivy

Late at night while you’re sleepin’
Poison ivy comes a-creepin’ around

Measles make you bumpy
And mumps’ll make you lumpy
And chicken pox’ll make you jump and twitch
A common cold’ll fool ya
And whooping cough’ll cool ya
But poison ivy, Lord’ll, make you itch
You’re gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion
You’ll be scratchin’ like a hound
The minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you’re sleepin’
Poison ivy comes a-creepin’ around

Check out the length of her arms. Talk about Alice the Goon. They cover 3/4 of her body.

They need a button on the bottom so those viewing can do a little toe tapping too

Horrible when compared to all of the previous presidential and first ladies portraits.

Kehinde *Wiley*

wily. synonyms: shrewd, clever, sharp, sharp-witted, astute, canny, smart; crafty, cunning, artful, sly, scheming, calculating, devious; informal clueful, tricky, foxy; archaic subtle...

>>>why was this ‘artist’ chosen to paint a presidential portrait<<<

No coincidences:

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Probably no serpents lurking in the foliage or shadows of the garden. BO hates competition.

Supposedly there is a sperm cell painted on BHO’s forehead. Surreal!

My sister says BO looks like he’s taking a BM in the bushes. :-)
