I hope the O’Bamas, Mr. and Mr., paid for it and not we taxpayers.

I had to look it up, apparently it is private donations since the GHW Bush administration.

Which makes it even all the more wonderful. I mean, even if we taxpayers DID pay for this, I would be all for it. I think it is hilarious, and...they seem not to notice just how bad the portraits are!

Even more, you will probably hear from liberals of all stripes and even those with artistic backgrounds, that the portraits are just wonderful!

Ha! Can ANYONE say “Emperor with no clothes?”

This has made me smile more than anything else today! (Even more than the former Soviet citizen discussing the wonders of socialism with a brain-full-of-mush college student! And that was hard to beat!)

You know the old saying: "Hope in one hand..."
