The unveiling of presidents’ official White House portraits by their successor has been a long-held tradition until now. Barack Obama is refusing to participate in the ceremony for the unveiling of his portrait, NBC News has learned.
“Republican presidents have done it for Democratic presidents, and vice versa,” noted NBC News. “Even when one of them ascended to the White House by defeating or sharply criticizing the other.” True enough, Barack Obama hosted the ceremony of the unveiling of George W. Bush’s official White House portrait, despite Obama ascending to the office by being a harsh critic of the 43rd president. George W. Bush similarly hosted the ceremony of Clinton’s portrait unveiling. Bush had been a critic of Clinton’s during the 2000 campaign, promising to restore honor and dignity to the office, sullied by Clinton’s sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton hosted the ceremony for George H.W. Bush, whom he’d defeated in the 1992 election.

I am thankful that he and his partner won’t be in the WH again. This is a godsend.
No HE is just an A hole!!!
At least Melania doesn’t have to fumigate the WH again.
Well don’t hang it up or hang it in the visitors restroom.
Fine. Hang it in a bathroom.
...Fine. Hang it in a bathroom.
Or under it
trump should hang it in a tree...
d’oh
i was triggered just writing that.
Actually, Obama should be in jail for organizing a coup against President Trump. His portrait should be in the basement.
I doubt if President Trump particularly wants to see, let alone talk to the slimy Obama right now.
No lay it flat on the bottom of the urinal.
He’s afraid Trump will say something hurtful to him.
And yes, this really is Obama’s official portrait. Not kidding. He is sitting in a chair as vines slowly envelop him. Is that weird as hell, or what?
Homosexuals are notoriously reknowned for being bitches.
We knew he was anti-American. We knew he was a racist. We knew he was corrupt. Who knew he was this much of a crybaby?
That's going on the assumption that Trump extended an invitation to begin with. Trump is refusing to unveil Obama's portrait at the White House, breaking a 40-year tradition
There has never been any love lost between the two.
That’s ok. The 1st family doesn’t to be swattin’ at the flies that follow the turd around.
So keep it in the basement.
With any luck, in 4 years no one will want to look at it.
Make that: An ENVIOUS Barack Obama Refuses to Participate in Unveiling of Official White House Portrait
