The Smithsonian Institute has just revealed an official portrait of former President Barack Obama in Washington, DC.
Just before dramatically unveiling the former president's portrait, which depicts him sitting in a garden amid green ivy, the Institute presented a portrait of former first lady Michelle Obama, and it looks like it definitely left a huge impression on her.
The portrait was greeted with gasps and applause.
"Wow, wow," Obama said in awe once the portrait was unveiled. She gave a short speech afterward.
"Can we just say wow again?" she said. "I have to tell you that as I stand here today with all of you and look at this amazing portrait that will hang with so many iconic figures, I am overwhelmed to say the least."

Body language on both says, “Nope, not gonna let you get close.”
Very well said! You said it best.

She just won a quilting contest.
So is the guy on the right.
That looks like Clint Eastwood’s empty chair with an empty suit and an empty head.

I agree. That was the second thought that popped into my head after the delight of seeing how horrible it is.
Years from now, when people walk through the hall of Presidents, they will notice a difference between the portrait of Obama and the portraits of those previous and past. Obama will be the only one, sitting in a patch of Poison Ivy, revealing a time in our history when mistakes were made by the voters and laws were broken by any Politian associated with the DNC. Whoever sat for the First Lady’s portrait, is probably more Caucasian than her husband.
WTF??? Is that Obama’s “official” portrait? With all those flowers? Its horrible. Its an embarrassment.
...
I hope they put it with all the good portraits in the White House or wherever. He’ll stick out like such a clown.
This is a joke???? Those pics are horrible.
Honoring the Bushes.
“Rest Stop Barry”
The portrait should have been Mooch visiting Barry in his cell at GITMO.
These are not traditional portraiture, more along the lines of pop art.
Didn’t they have their official portraits done early in his presidency? So another set for them?
Michelle looks like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex In the City.
What’s with the culturally-misappropriated hair (wig) on the moocher, the Worst Lady?
