Cover of Styx “Grand Illusion”.
fitting.
As others have noted, the Mooch’s portrait looks more like one of those over-shaded high school pencil drawings (and the woman who painted it has zero fashion sense; her skirt looks like the tailor forgot to trim off a bunch of the fabric before it was assembled).
Obongo’s painting has some odd elements to it. In no particular order: the flowers among the greenery are oddly symmetrically placed. It’s almost like one of those “magic eye” pictures. The setting itself is almost surrealist, with an ornate wooden chair surrounded by some kind of ivy (except that ivy doesn’t flower like that). The way the greenery envelops the chair, it sure looks like it’s back in a corner. Then, you have Obongo sitting out on the edge of the chair, which to my mind conveys the impression that he feels like he isn’t supposed to be there; it’s not his chair or he’s uncomfortable sitting back into the chair. With the leaves covering his legs and feet, it’s as though he’s fading into the background, and the message I get is that he’s not the most important thing in the picture.
All in all, very odd imagery.
Who’s the Mexican woman?
Rush seemed so afraid to remark on the painting, he may as well had not brought them up at all.
Maybe certain sponsors are at stake if he calls Michelle a fat, frumpy, facist freak!
Official portrait. Not even trying to disguise himself.
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?
portrait: picture, likeness, image
Looking again at Obongo’s picture, I just realized why it looks so odd: there’s no depth there (a fitting metaphor for his presidency if ever there was one). The chair looks completely flat because of the way some of the greenery covers it in places, and the way the greenery covers his right leg yet doesn’t cover the right-front leg of the chair (left front for the viewer).
Why does Obozo look like he’s taking a dump in a bank of poison Ivy? And who is that gray women?
I think the artist failed to fully capture the Michelle scowl. She’s got perma-frown when she’s set for life and shouldn’t have a care in the world. Maybe she suffers from constipation and after drinking bottles of colon-blow and assplosion just can’t get the job done? Maybe one of those federally mandated school lunches would do the trick?
And, WTF is Barry the bastard doing in that picture? Is this a hallucination scene from one of his MJ smoking binges, or has he moved on to meth? It has got to be the latter - he isn’t smiling and may have one of those ‘faces of meth’ dental jobs in the works.
Speaking of jobs - where Reggie? Shouldn’t he be in the picture too with a bar of soap and a come hither look on his face?
They look like something we’d see at a starving artist show.

It is very strange. The width of the seat back is much narrower than the seat. What kind of ‘artist’ would not be aware of that, or would do it intentionally?
It’s poor artistic ability is what’s wrong with the chair. Barack Obama is okay, more comic book looking character with oversized hands. It’s not against a background of Ivy though, it’s fricken in the Ivy. Makes me think WTF? Michelles is a much prettier looking than real life, the skin is lightened and the hair straightened (like she kept it in real life). It reminds me that most successful black women keep their hair straightened. I think it’s vanity.
Much of the greenery looks cloned.
These are the not the official WH portraits but rather the set for the Smith/National Portrait Gallery. Rush is correct in his description however. That looks more like Omorasa than Michelle.
Reminds me of the bushes he likely hid in as a teenager aiting to service older men in exchange for drugs.
Perfectly matched pair. Idiotic portraits for idiotic people.
Poor Rush evidently knows nothing about art. Which is fine; I listen for the political commentary.
